Blah!

Oh how I hate the person who invented daylight savings time! (Was it Ben Franklin?) We have not been sleeping great to begin with, then we changed the clocks, and we got a cold! :( Lucy, Freddy and I have been sniffling and coughing, not bad but very annoying. I think this cold is called the Creekside Cough, named after preschool, it seems everyone there has it. I kept Lucy home yesterday and we all chilled and tried not to fight with each other. Extreme crankiness and an aching head are my main symptoms. :/ Henry seems to have a runny nose this morning so I guess he has it now too. I was fairly certain he would catch it, the big kids like to pet him. :)

As far as sleep goes it is pretty non-existent for me. I guess that is bound to happen when you have 3 children under the age 5! :D Last night all of them were up at different times. Henry was up every 2 hours. Freddy was up twice, the first time to go to the bathroom, the second time I don't know what was wrong but I laid in his bed for a little bit and he was fine. Lucy, who almost never wakes up at night, woke up crying and she told Dave she had a bad dream, so she was in our bed with us. So, yeah, I didn't sleep much.

Today I am thankful that we just have a cold and not a stomach bug!!!!!! (Knock on wood!)

In other news, Henry's scalp is a mess, almost worse than before. I put the cream the doctor gave us on him for a week like she said but as soon as I stopped the cream it came right back. I did some internet research and I think it might be eczema not cradle cap. So on Sunday I stopped eating dairy, which is the most common food to give babies trouble. As of today I am going to try to eliminate peanuts too. I am going to try this for a couple of weeks and see if it helps. I haven't seen any improvement for him yet but I have lost a little weight, so there is an upside! :)

We have to get ready to go to the Diner now. Linda had the nerve to go on a vacation and the kids, who are used to seeing her almost everyday, are really missing her. Today she is back and they both picked out tie-dye shirts to wear for her. :)
