Post Vacation Viral Illness and Separation Anxiety

ready for school!

While our summer vacation was a blast, days after we came back I got sick. I don't usually get sick or even if I do get a cold, it's over in a day or two. What I had though lingered for more than a week, what's worse is that I have kids to attend to plus my hubby of course.

empty living room, so much space and clutter free

Before I was fully recovered, my son also got sick he had to miss school for a couple of days due to on and off fever which the doctor diagnosed as something viral. In between recuperating myself, taking care of my son and my youngest child's first day in Pre-K, we also managed to rearrange the whole house. It was a grueling process but the end result is priceless.

afternoon nap in their own room yeyyy!

The kids, for the first time are now sleeping in their bedroom/playroom. This I guess was the best outcome of our home makeover/end of summer cleaning. We finally got rid of all the stuff we needed to get rid a long time ago. Toys were sorted out even the furnitures and everything or should I say mostly are in place. Finally the house was de littered!

finally!

And yes, the icing on the cake is that the kids no longer sleep on mom and dad's bed. We now can sleep comfortably in our queen size bed. We actually thought of buying a king size one to accommodate the four of us fortunately and surprisingly, the kids agreed to sleep in their room. There's still a bit of resistance but hopefully in due time, they'll get used to it. I do miss them though. I just couldn't wait to see them the next day. Mornings are just sweeter except that I now have to wake up early to prepare them for school. Curling up with mom will just have to be reserved during weekend mornings :D

A Visit to the Dentist

Treats from the Dentist

The kids and I had a very early appointment today at the dentist. They weren't looking forward to it and have been anxious for a couple of days now making me anxious as well. I didn't want to deal with tantrums especially in public. Anyway, I think it went smoothly. I didn't hear any screaming or wailing while I was comfortably lying down on the dentist's chair. And when I met up with them after our check ups, they were pretty excited to show what they got in their loot bags. I'd say, they'll be jumping on our next visit except Daddy who's gonna be paying for everything :D

Hello Allergies!


It's Springtime and Lance welcomed it by being sick. He  has this bad case of allergies this time manifested by itchy eyes and runny nose (he also has eczema particularly during winter) and last last night he was feverish. But all these wouldn't stop him from going to school. I told him this morning he could miss school today but the thought of being absent upsets him. He really wanted to be in school and assured me he feels better already. I would have preferred him to stay at home and cuddle up with Mom but seeing his energy I knew a few hours in school wouldn't hurt him. I can't help but be proud of my little boy, I just hope they give him an award for having a perfect attendance :D
