Dear Journal,

All 4 of my kids are sick and are throwing up. Lovely. Parker opt.'d out of going to school today, and said his stomach was still hurting him. We carved pumpkins last night at Grandma Cheryl's. When the kids were done they played in the backyard/front yard. Parker was on the tire swing, and had gone in one too many circles. He came running up the carport, heading for the bathroom.....he didn't make it. He puked while running, and then slipped in the puke and fell flat on his back. It was so sad. He continued to puke 3 other times while we were there. He resides on the couch, watching cartoons. Quincy started the whole thing Sunday, when she puked 2x, but seemed to be fine...she seems to have also got pink eye. I noticed a little goop in it Sunday, but now the entire right eye is pink. She hates the drops, and the fact that I do them 10x a day. She's playing "tea party" in the toy room. Conway is probably the worse of them all, with his ear infection and all. His entire top lip is a cold sore, so he has a hard time eating anything.....or the whole thing cracks and bleeds. It's so sad. He too is curled up on the couch watching cartoons. Tilley had the eye infection first....no redness, but the boogies. I've been doing the drops in her eyes since Friday when we went to the Dr. for Cons. She's had a little bit of a fever the past couple days, and has been a little fussy, but not TOO bad. I really can't complain about her, she's such a good baby. She was up all night last night, tossing and turning....I only know cus she IS still in our bed :). Get over it "Baby Wise." At 4:30am I woke up to Tills, squirming once again....so I began to feed her. Just as I was finished and was getting up to head to the gym, she puked everywhere. TONS! I don't know how she even had that much puke inside her tiny little body. It is always so sad when an infant pukes, their whole body heaves, and they have no idea what is happening. She is with her Big Brothers on the couch, watching them watch TV. So home is where we will be today. Resting.
