Super Busy Week

I have not been here much this week. It has been super busy. It started on Tuesday. The twins had an Asthma Clinic check-up. Every three months they have to be checked out by the doctor and get their asthma inhaler prescriptions refilled. I also got their emergency inhaler prescription for school filled out to send back with them when school starts. On Wednesday they had their 6-month re-evaluation for speech therapy. This appointment took forever to get through. We were in the office for almost 3 hours. That was a very tiring day. Keeping 2 kids occupied while one is being evaluated is a struggle.
Somewhere in between Tuesday and Wednesday, Elijah developed a cold sore that looked pretty gross. It did not help that he kept messing with it. I was using Blistex medicated ointment and even though that was helping, it looked rough on Wednesday when I made the appointment for Thursday. The doctor gave us an ointment for it and it has already improved drastically.
Today, I am playing catchup with the housework and trying to earn online as well. Between my crazy sleep hours and being out of the house so much this week I have not gotten much done. What I cannot fit in today, I will aim for this weekend.
Enjoy your Friday!

@LadyDuck he is much better. The first night of using that cream and the cold sore improved drastically by the next day.

@bunnybon7 You hang on. I was lazy over the weekend and didn't do too much. I did catch up on laundry though.

@rebelann The doctor office is not that bad, they have a nice boat and castle fort to play in there. The bad one was the speech therapy office. They used to offer a nice little play area but that has been reduced to one small table with only 2 games on it now.

@rebelann I think that the therapy office that was the case? I don't know though, they make plenty of money at that place. They stay busy. I think they are just cheap.

I remember those kind of days with my kids when they were little, I feel for you. Some days it feels like you are away from home more than your in it. You have a lot to deal with with your littles but it sounds like you are right on top of things.

@cintol LOL I will. Suddenly, all of a sudden this week they have started fighting. Perhaps the daily break will do me good!

@Courtlynn Thanks, this week is going to be busy as well. I have to get Lil Keith's physical form filled out for football and I have to get an ID made for him at the local agency. That is going to take a long time.

It is always one thing or another when you have kids, we all get busy so never worry about us, I haven't been on all that much lately either. I try to do surveys every day but some days are way better than others.

@just4him I am glad as well. The Blistex was helping but he kept wiping it off. The prescription ointment went to work right away.

It's so worrying too when they aren't feeling well too. Hope everyone gets and stays well. You certainly had quite a hectic week! Me too. Lots of running around on the bus to run errands. Eye doctor appointment revealed good news of no diabetes in eyes and all around best report for these aging eyes yet... herbs working with more veggie ,& fruit diet too. I had to update my accounts with a new cell and disconnect of landline. Almost done updating.

@oahuwriter I have been praying. It looks like the brunt of the hurricane might miss the islands but you will still have lots of rain and some strong winds. Keep us posted on how you are doing please when you can.
