Sick baby, oh my!!

It has been several days since my last post.  When you have a sick baby anything you want to do gets pushed aside so that you can take care of your little one.  Connor had been running a low grade fever since last Sunday afternoon and finally when it got even higher Wednesday afternoon I decided it was time for him to go to the doctor.  He was not wanting to eat for long periods of time and only wanted mommy to hold him so I knew something was going on.  He was diagnosed with an ear infection in both ears.  This is the second infection he has had so far so I was a bit worried.  The doctor gave him some strong antibiotics and he is doing a little better but it is really taking a lot out of him and his mommy!  He is still preferring mommy to anyone else and won't eat for extended times.  He snacks more so than anything else which makes it hard to do anything but sit with him!  I have found that writing my blog gives me some sense of accomplishment even if it is the only thing I get done all day.  I am sure my subject matter will change as I get more adept at typing up blogs.  I know that I have so many ideas running around in my head and by the time I sit down to type I have to pick a few and then move on!  For now I will tell you how the past couple of days have been. 

Yesterday was spent going to church with Hugh's family because his nephew, Tristan, was getting baptised.  It was a very boring service that thankfully Connor slept through.  I am glad that is not the church we attend because the pastor there does not know how to captivate an audience.  We then went out to eat with everyone at Red Lobster.  You never realize what well behaved kids you really do have until you go out to eat with other people's kids.  Thank goodness we only do that like maybe once a year.  I could not believe how loud the kids were and how inapproapriately they behaved and they are 5, 9 and 15!! 

Today so far has been a pretty frustrating day.  I came out like I usually do and decided to do my walking first thing, thank goodness.  When I tried to get on the computer to do my blogging the computer wouldn't start up so I then decided to grab Beau's laptop and use it.  After waiting 40 minutes for it to start up and actually load internet explorer I tried to type in the window and it took me ten minutes to write one paragraph on an instant messenger!  At that point Connor was hungry again so I fed him and then came back to Hugh's computer he leaves here. While waiting for his computer to do its thing I turned the home computer back on and thought I would be able to use it.  As soon as I got email pulled up it froze again.  So now I am using Hugh's computer until we can get the home one usable again.  That of course will likely take money to buy new parts!  Maybe today will get better!  Who knows it is still before lunch and I am hopefull!!
