Sick Ward or Looney Bin?

BOTH!!!! It has been a tough day; lots of very cranky sick children and one very overwhelmed mama. Paul was not prepared for the amazon woman who greeted him as he entered the house after work; mind you I have never raised my voice in anger toward him. I think I may have been temporarily possessed. He asked how I was, and I just yelled "I'm angry!" He asked if I cared to elaborate, so yelled and emphatic, "No, I'm just angry and I'm tired!" He swallowed hard, put his head down, and began to work around the house. I know he was praying for me because as I sat down on the couch with the baby, I just started to cry; I felt the anger leave me, and thank the Lord Meredith returned. We will survive, we will survive, we will survive.

Here are a few pics from this evening. I have talked to a Dr more times in the last few days than in the last year; I feel like a newbie mom. I guess that proves you never outgrow worrying about your babies when they are sick. We are keeping a very close eye on Madalena. If she comes down with a fever, we will have to bring her in for possible RSV, but for now she is just a pitiful ray of sunshine. Don't ask me why George fell asleep with a spatula in his hand.
