Beauty, of course, got an infection from this last cold she had. I feel solely responsible though. She caught a respiratory infection and who had a respiratory infection very recently? Me. So yeah, I feel completely responsible for her getting sick. And of course, Macho was right behind her. Officially today, the doctor declared that he too has an infection, so both the kids are now on antibiotics. Technically, Macho's first dose will be tonight, but it'll make a huge difference right away. So yay to me for getting my kids sick. (way to go, mom)
Awesome Husband is the only one not yet affected by all this and hopefully it stays that way. Him getting sick is like having another sick child on my hands (no offense, Hubby). Wives out there, you know what I mean. I'm just hoping that we can kick these germs out of our house soon so they'll stop bouncing from person to person.
Since we've moved into this new home, we've had a lot of big expenses pop up; new bed and mattress for Beauty, new futon for my mom to sleep on, new furnace 'cause the old one started leaking gas, a new fridge, new furniture for various rooms (totally necessary), and there have been other miscellaneous expenses. Why do I bring this up? Because about 1 1/2 months ago, Beauty decided her diaper was bothering her when she woke up, so she took it off. This wouldn't be a big deal if she were potty trained, but since she's still not ready for that, she has to have a diaper on. Well, as soon as she took off her diaper, she "went" all over her brand new mattress. Needless to say the mattress is now ruined and we have to buy another one. Go figure that she would do this on her brand new mattress.
We can't afford another one at the moment, so I've been spraying Lysol and Febreeze on it so it won't stink or get bacteria growing on it. We would've bought a plastic mattress cover for it, but they don't make those in twin sizes. We also can't afford a new mattress for ourselves right now either. We need to get a new one because the support on it is shot, so when I lay down I don't have the back support I need. This means I wake up with my back extremely sore (not good for a person with Fibromyalgia).
So yeah, it's just so funny how you can "plan" for more expenses when buying a new home, but you're never really prepared for everything that happens in the new home. Ironic how these things never happened in our old place, and it's funny how these miscellaneous expenses are never ending. In the end though, I'm glad we have this house to live in, even if it is sucking all our money away. =)
