It's 12:22 AM and I am sound asleep. I am awakened by Flower crying "There's fizzies in my bed! The fizzies spilled in my bed!" What? Flower is pretty upset so I pull her up into our bed and try to clear my mind so I can make sense of what she is trying to tell me.
Me - What is in your bed?
Flower - Fizzies!!!!
Me - Fuzz, is there pieces of fuzz from your socks?
Flower - NO....FIZZIES!!!!
By this time Flower is very frustrated with me and I have absolutely no idea what she is trying to tell. Then it hits me. We stopped by our friend's house last night to play with some puppies (that's another story) and their daughter has two fish in her bedroom. The kids were feeding the fish right before we left.
Fish in her bed....Flower was dreaming about the fish....now I understand.

Disinfectant....does anyone know of a good one I can spray on every inch of our house? At least one of us has been sick for six weeks and I am tired of it.
After a second visit to the doctor a week and a half ago Flower had some fluid in her ear and ended up with antibiotics. The meds worked well until this morning when she woke up with red arms and legs with hives. At least she got nine days of the antibiotics and her cough is gone.
Princess also had ten days of antibiotics for strep and within three days of finishing them, she started to cough. The cough is relentless. Dear Husband had it, I had it, and now Princess has it bad. We saw the doctor this morning and she did not think the strep was back. Unfortunately Princess refused to open her mouth for a throat swab to be sure. I was not pleased. The nurse was very, very patient with us. But, like the doctor said, if it is strep we will be back in two days so there was no use tormenting her.
As if this wasn't enough, I picked up a stomach bug and was sick all weekend. I'm finally feeling better today. We went to the school carnival Friday night so I am blaming it on that....although it was worth it, the girls had a blast. DH and I were reminiscing the Fun Night we had as kids and much to our delight the carnival was very similar. Cakewalk, fishing pond, beanbag toss, duck pond....
Keilie Dog finishes up her antibiotics this week. We removed her splint last week but she still isn't putting much weight on the infected leg. The staph ate three different bones in her ankle joint and the surrounding ligaments so we might have to get a brace to support her ankle. On the bright side, at least we caught the staph infection before it did serious damage, if you know what I mean.
I'm losing steam and that's all I can think of for now so I'll sign off. Happy spring and healthy thoughts!

Happy Green Patrick’s Day!
St. Patrick’s Day is here and spring is just around the corner. In case you haven’t noticed, I have not had much motivation to blog lately. I would like to say it is because we have been really busy, but that would be lying. Flower picked up a nasty cold last month and we just keep passing it around so I am blaming my lack of ambition on this virus.
February was filled with birthday parties, which lead to the previously mentioned cold virus. Flower and Dear Husband had it first, and then Princess and I picked it up at the end of the month. At the same time Princess got strep throat. She is over the strep, but still fighting the cold. Flower is finally on the road to recovery so I am feeling very optimistic that we will have a healthy spring. The weather is gorgeous and we are done being sick.
Last week we celebrated Flower’s birthday. I’ll post some photos soon. We are still working on potty training and Flower seems to be doing pretty well….at home. Daycare is a different story. Sigh.
Princess has been preparing for a leprechaun to visit her classroom today so we have been talking about St. Patrick’s Day a lot lately. I looked all over town for a shirt that Princess could wear today and had no luck finding something green that she will wear. I guess I should have been Irish, I could have really used some luck. Every place we went Flower wanted to know if she could get a green shirt too….and I could not find anything in her size either.
Last weekend we took a road trip to GF for lunch and shopping. We found a t-shirt for Flower at Old Navy and she was ecstatic. All week Flower has been talking about wearing her new green shirt on Green Patrick’s Day. She is driving Princess crazy because she refuses to say St. Patrick’s Day, but hey, isn’t that what little sisters are suppose to do?
