Sickos...

I have to laugh at Nicole's comment on my blog after yesterday's post. It is SO TRUE! Someone in our household always seems to be sick!!!!! It has not always been this way... but it really has been since Ally started day care/preschool.

Ally wasn't sick a day of her life until she was almost two, and we decided she needed to go to day care a couple days a week to start to socialize with other kids. She had been going to Nana's everyday since I went back to work when she was around five months old... and we felt that she needed some "socializing." (this thought makes me laugh now... cuz I really could not have a more social child!)

So... we started her at ABC Academy here in Jackson... the one on Lansing Ave. I work on Parnall Road... so it was extremely convenient for her to go there! And... it was probably about a week before she got her first cold. After that, all bets were off... she spent that entire winter sick. Antibiotics over and over for ear infections. A diagnosis of milk and egg allergies that was adding to the problem. It was awful.... really awful.

Then, with Luke... he was sick with a cold in the first two weeks of his life!!!!! No two year waiting period for him! Two weeks!!!!! That's the difference between having a child at home only... and a child at school, bringing home all sorts of germs to her little brother!

I hope Luke is better off when he goes to preschool, than Ally was. Ally sure seems to have gotten it out of her system because she is not as sick at all in Kindergarten. Must have built those immunities up!!!!! Doesn't stop her from bringing it home to all of us though! Especially Luke.

I seem get every illness they have, ten times worse. I too wonder when the madness will end???

I don't think the fast pace and stress of our lives helps any of us... but I don't think I know how to live a stress-free life... so I take it as it comes.

Luke slept HORRID last night... and was generally the biggest grump on the planet yesterday evening. As a result, I am extremely tired today... and a bit grumpy myself. My patience is non-existent... I don't have much under normal circumstances, but today is bad. Good thing I have class tonight and won't be home to take it out on my kids.......

I am taking a pole dancing class in East Lansing at Pin Up Pole Dancing! It's a LOT of fun. VERY different from S Factor.... but it gets me on the pole, working out, and learning new tricks! A few weeks ago, I went inverted on the pole for the first time on my own. My friend Kristen, who I am taking the class with, spotted me over and over again until I could do it solo. Ever since then, I can't stop! I love to be upside down in the air!

I am considering starting a pole dancing blog........ hmmmm?????

Well... from sick kids to pole dancing moms...... what a random post! Happy Tuesday!
