Chills and Hills

We are hanging around the house today...being lazy and its really, really hard for me!  The sick bug has bitten 2/3 of the household so I am nursing them back to health!  Okay who am I kidding....I am the worst nurse there is, but it is the thought that counts.  

Jeremy came down with a nasty upper respiratory infection earlier this week along with an earache....he is holding down the bed.  His sidekick and BFF starting coughing Thursday and running a little fever.   Friday afternoon we went to see Dr. Cook (who she told could only give her two shots) and priss had bronchitis and some nasty wheezing.   Enter fog breathing machine.  We are currently on a 6 hour rotation.   I really am having flashbacks to nighttime feedings and getting up in the middle of the night with this schedule....maybe I should get used to it!!!

Amelia is doing fine...I think the treatments are only slightly cracking her out.   We are catching up on the back episodes of Mickey Mouse Club House and Thomas the Train.  She is being persuaded to sit still with her Pez dispenser....Remember those!!!  BEST TOY EVER! 

I did get my rear up this morning and go do a 10K in Vicksburg.  Something about the name Chill in the Hills really did NOT clue me into the fact that it would be 6.2 miles of up and down.  I guess I have lived back in Mississippi long enough to forget they do have big hills some places.   I actually enjoyed running it....hills and all.  It reminded me of the Statue to Statue course....without the murderous last hill.  I ran it in 1:04 minutes.   I wasn't trying to beat any goals, just finish.   I was pretty happy with my time.   Oh!!! did I mention it was 32 degrees when we started out!!!
