Senny's caught a bug. It's miserable, poor thing. I could tell yesterday something wasn't right... you know, those diapers tell a lot! Then she was sick three times in the night. The poor girl is the most pleasant sick person I've ever seen. She sat quietly through a bath at 2:00 a.m., and still smiles at us. She was so hungry this morning, but her little tummy wasn't quite ready to eat yet. Hopefully she can just rest today and get feeling better.
Seneca's dad is sick also, with a yucky cold that won't go away. It's moved down into his chest and he's had a few restless nights, although last night he tried Alicia's vapo rub foot trick and stopped coughing immediately! The trick is to put the menthol rub on the bottom of your feet and put socks on and your cough will subside... it was supposedly guaranteed and while he was skeptical, after a while he gave it a try, thank goodness! I think it's the best he's slept in a while.
Don't worry about Coop and I, I've decided we're not getting sick. I just don't have the time or desire to feel crummy right now. Today is our last home visit from the Navajo Tribe before Seneca's adoption is final and I've got to finish whipping this place into shape! The woman coming is great, and she probably won't care about the condition of my home as much as I do, but I am leaving town in two days and will feel much better leaving it nice and clean. So wish me luck getting my babies healthy again before I ditch them for a wonderful child-free mother/sister weekend in Chicago!

Chicago? What fun! Sending lots of good vibes your way to get those little ones healthy and happy so you can TRULY enjoy your time away!
Have a great time! I'm sure they'll all recuperate just fine.
A girls weekend in Chicago? So fun! I can't wait to hear about what you do there.
I love the vapo rub trick..that will definitely come in handy here. Jim always seems to get the cough thing in the winter.
I hope your two sick ones mend quickly so you can leave guilt-free!
Have a ton of fun!
Amberly, you are a miracle mom. Will you please send me your email address? you can just send me a quick email. I have a gmail account and it's just susanna.florence. I read your "My 100" and I really loved it.
have a great chicago trip!
Wow! What a great tip I just learned! I will tell my mom about
the vapo rub in case her yearly cough comes this winter! You never
know...it could work on her too!
Chicago sounds like a grand time to
be had! ciao
I hope you stuck to your guns and didn't get sick! And that you had fun in Chicago.
I've never heard of the VapoRub trick -- I'll have to remember that. Whoever thought that up first?
I just wanted to leave a comment to say hi! I followed a link from my friend's blogs (Amy S and Kelly). I don't visit random blogs very often, but was interested in yours because my oldest shares your beautiful name. I hope you have a great day and everyone gets well at your house. Thanks for your interesting posts!
