a long week!

Well, this week has been spent cleaning up vomit and diarrhea. It all started 9 days ago and after the last two nights i think it is safe to say we are NOT out of the woods yet. This is like the virus that just won't go away. I have bleached toys, i have put the stuffed animals in the dryer, i have boiled bottles and pacifiers. Argh! Luckily i am better and chris is almost better. one of the side effects of this illness (for us adults anyways) is that it is making our body throw proteins out into our urine causing our kidneys/backs to hurt like crazy! To the point that we both feel like we have thrown our backs out. Mine only lasted two or three days and now after lots of water and some cranberry juice...i feel normal. in fact i feel like my normal everyday self. so this is good. let's hope the girls follow suit very soon!!! i am tired of stripping beds, doing a million loads of laundry, and watching my sweet nuggets feel miserable. i will say tho that my husband did at least a half a million loads of laundry in the beginning of the week when i was still sick and the girls were throwing up all over the place. so a big shout out to him!!! :)

the other thing this has done to our household is that it has made it so chris has been unable to job hunt. he has been out of work for about a month and things are starting to get pretty tight and even a little scary. i know God has a plan and i am trying to trust him, but this is stressful. chris has applied for every job opening in town he knows about and goes to the employment security place a few times a week to see what else is available that is only posted through them. so we aren't unemployed for a lack of trying! ugh. please keep us in your prayers.

nothing else eventful has happened...in fact i think i am ready for a downright boring week. haha.
