Another week, another 4 trips to the Pediatricians office

God has His hand in everything as He is constantly reminding me, I was a little disappointed our weekend in Indy didn't go as planned but then after coming back early I knew He had worked it all out. Lily woke up with a fever the next morning & got worse throughout the day, if we had to drive back as schedule, she would have been miserable. Round 2 of strep was moving through the house. Got her diagnosed Tuesday, started on meds. Jason went to Dr. Tuesday & got his meds. Wednesday afternoon, my friend was filling in for the school nurse & Harper had visited her twice not feeling good. Took her in, STREP.  Got her meds, she was home Thursday and then Thursday night Lacy started feeling sick. Took her in Friday morning, STREP! Haley is really stuffy but she's had two strep tests and they've both been negative. Really hoping she's feeling better for her big birthday this week.

Again, I had to adjust expectations as we had lots of fun stuff planned for the weekend that just didn't happen. When Lily & Lacy were little, I really struggled with things not going as planned, kids getting sick, MY expectations of what should happen but didn't. I'm certainly not perfect but it's progress.

Of course Lily is trying to one up her sisters as she always does, "Wasn't I the sickest Mom? Didn't I have the highest fever? I've been sick the MOST right?" We just kind of look at her blankly when she says things like that.

Harper funny from a few weeks ago, she had a friend over and was giving her the grand tour of our house. The guest room is always warm during the day and it attracts ladybugs so there's always at least a few ladybugs on the carpet. So Harper describes the room to her friend, "This is the room where the ladybugs go to die"  I can't wait for her friend to repeat that to her mom.
