The Winter of Our Discontent...

I know, I know, I've been AWOL... I am so sorry!!!

I do have tutorials almost ready to share and two awesome pattern tests that I have gotten to do - one is girly one is boy-ie and you will LOVE them both!!!

SO why have I been missing?  Well, my children just can not seem to be healthy for more than a couple days.  It all started back when Hubs got the flu during PR&P and passed it along to the boys.  Then baby girl got a double ear infection - only to recover from that and knock out her front tooth.  Then all three kiddos and I got smacked with the stomach bug.  We got healthy and got it again, got healthy and got it again, and on and on - the boys were even sick on their birthday ;o(.  Until FINALLY this past weekend EVERYONE in the house was HEALTHY!!!  WOHOOOOOOOOOO!

But then.... well, baby girl has been a dare devil since day one (thus the knocked out tooth), and is now trying to climb stairs.  She made it up two stairs and fell while I was 'otherwise occupied'.  That small fall resulted in a buckle fracture of her left leg -WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
Today I was given the choice of a hip high cast (that would have meant NO pants, NO baths, NO crawling, etc.....) OR holding her as much as possible and preventing her from standing for 2-3weeks.  I went for the second option, but keeping that little girl from standing is so hard.  It isn't going to be the easiest road ahead, but I think I still made the better choice.

So I PROMISE that next week there are going to be tons of fun new posts.  I'll even share my PR&P pattern remix that is currently sitting on my cutting table -sigh.

Huge hugs, and I hope everyone can go into the weekend with big smiles and healthy families!!!

  3. Yikes!!!That does not sound like fun at all. I surprised you've been able to get anything done at all. I know I would probably just want to curl up under my covers after all of that. Here's hugs and well wishes your way!

  5. That has been pretty bad around there. I hope she recovers soon from the fracture and also that all of you stay healthy from now on.

  7. Suzanne, I am so sorry for all of these incidents. I remember a time when it seemed we were in the ER on a monthly basis with our three. It will pass... We are now several years and counting-broken bone-stitches-seizure-puking til you're dehydrated-free!
