spring fever

late this winter i had predicted that this spring would be bringing out home buyers if not in droves, or at the very least a few trickling ones that love, love, love our home. instead last night at 1 am i was awakened by a completely different kind of spring fever - croup! i guess i shouldn't complain, because we have had a relatively calm winter, after the spa outing that is.

last night at 1am i did things like crawl on the floor of the boys closet digging out the nebulizer and humidifier; suction more snot than any child should be able to contain in their itty bitty body; and mix up juicy water concoctions for barking children. poor max and keegan! from what i remember about croup - it gets worse before it gets better. yay, what a happy birthday this is looking like it will be. so after everyone was settled back into bed and i finally pulled the comforter back around my exhausted self i hear jon say "you know, if we have croupy babies next weekend you are not leaving for your girls weekend?!" as i drifted back off to sleep i had to remind myself that because of these children i have met some truly amazing people. spring fever or not, i love them with all my heart.
