Hi, my name is Cathy. I'm 38 and I have 5 kids- 17,12, 1 and baby twins. My partner, Shane is very supportive. Not much time for anything else at the moment, nappies and bottles rule the household. All my spare time is for Minti LOL. Life is crazy hectic, but that's the way I like it!! When I do have time, I like to read, do jigsaw puzzles, watch movies and go to the beach. Mostly I'm on the computer, so if anyone wants to chat on msn, just MM me.

Even the cat is sick!!!!

Comment Published at 07:1207:128 comments8 comments11 Visits11 VisitsReport

 

Now in my last blog, I mentioned the twins had bronchitis. We have been going to the doctors every second day for the last 8 days. They were getting better, slowly. Wednesday came time for yet another visit so off we went. Jamie was not improving as expected. Now he was having a bit of trouble and in the beginings of resportory distress. We were told that he would have to go to the ER to be checked over. Scary stuff when your 4 month old is coughing so much that he's choking. On the plus side, Jacque was improving well, just need some drops for her eyes. Always something at the moment!

Now to complicate things, Keiraleah happened to have a very very bad night. It was the first time she had ever been sick. So she had to be checked out too! She screamed at the doctor. She was not impressed LOL Turns out she had a bad ear infection and a bad cold. So we got her meds, more bottles and nappies and were off to the ER.

I swear that boy is a charmer! Didn't make a fuss at all, only smiled and lapped up the extra attention!  Keiraleah and Jacque were very well behaved as well and all three won the nurses over LOL We were there for 4 hours, not bad really for the ER. He was deemed well enough to go home(just) and we go back to the Paed. unit on monday.

Now the night before all this happened with the kids. Bonbon the non-mouser cat was sick. So sick we thought we had better take her to the vet straight away. I didn't think she'd have many of her nine lives left. This cat loves trouble! So now I have to give her a tablet each day for a week. Real easy!! hahahaha

So that has been my week, may as well move in to the doctors surgery LOL. We group book now LOL Thats true! So I have forgotten what sleep is, but not to worry, mummy can soldier on!! 

Oh and I finally got school sorted for Sami and she starts on monday.

So I hope everyone has a great weekend(bit early i know) and hug those kids and tell them you love them!!

PS: having trouble with uploading from the camera. Got to find time LOL More pics are a comin'.

 Well Shane did to be accurate LOL I saw it running around the lounge room!!! I was shocked LOL The look on my face must of been priceless I quickly got Shane to come and said DO SOMETHING hahaha The little thing had disappeared by that time but we kept searching(with me backing off all the time hehe) until I saw a little head sticking out from the side of the fridge! Shane moved the fridge and we still didn't see it Then all of a sudden it RAN!!!!! I screamed!! hahaha Yep and jumped ten foot LOL Shane meanwhile got it with a shoe!!!! Phew!!! People 1 Mouse 0 YAY!

On a totally different subject, I took the twins back to the doctors today. They are getting better but not as much as he would of liked. So we go back Wednesday and see if the need antibiotics. Poor little munchkins are coughing soooo much. Makes feeding hard and I keep getting spewed on! Yuk! On a good note they are still happy smiling babies and chatting a lot now!

The rest of us aren't too bad now, thank goodness for that but now Bon Bon the cat is very sick. Can't win I tell ya! We're not sure what's wrong with her, she isn't saying LOL She hasn't hardly done much for the last three days and we are very worried. We don't have the funds to take her to the vet. I'm hoping she still has one of her nine lives left. The parrot seems to be the only one all good LOL

I hope everyone is well, for those who aren't I hope you get better soon... this winter has to be the worst ever!!

Thought I'd throw in a pic of the twins.....

Love to everyone, Cath xxoo

 You know how when you go to the shops with a baby and are always stopped by ppl who want to coo at the baby. Well, the twins take the cake!  Today I was stopped by that many and asked soooo many questions! In the end I wanted a sign that said One of Each, 4 months, Yes good babies!!! LOL! It was funny but took so much time! So many more just smiled at me and them. I have sore cheeks! LOL

Now the reason we were up the shops was to see the doctor........

James and Jacquelyn both have viral bronchitis! They are coughing heaps and James is the worst with lots of wheezing. They are on ventolin, it's working and they're getting better. But we spent a tense night with James as the doctor said if he got any worse, he was to go to hospital. No sleep yet again!!! Happy to report the doctor said he's much better today!

Keiraleah's nose isn't so bad now. Why is it that they hate getting their nose wiped?? What a hassle that is!!!

Shane has a cold, of course he's dying of man 'flu !!!! Na, he's not so bad but for a few days......

Sami isn't sick which means she is starting school either tomorrow or Monday. We have to go in for an interview and then she's all set!!! Wow, it will feel so different without her around! So that's the end of home schooling for a few years officially. 

I am not sick either YAY!! Touch wood, it stays away from me. I haven't had a cold in years and plan on keeping it that way!!! Ever since I had pneumonia I haven't had a cold or anything. Lucky I guess but I sure don't recommend getting it!!!! Isn't that right Janice and Marg?

Nothing much else happening. Have an inspection next week, so cleaning, cleaning, cleaning...oh how excitting LOL

Hope everyone is well and having a good week!

Cath xxoo

PS: Got a ton of pics coming when I find time. I'm off to get all the kids asleep for the afternoon. Wish me luck!
