Does life cereal make us live forever?

This was a particularly hard week. I shouldn't complain because all things considered I'm still standing and no more grey hairs were visible than before (I'm not going to look and see just in case. But nonetheless, it was a trying time. Both boys came down with fevers that optimistic me thought would just pass on their own, if not maybe with the help of the all wonderful children's tylenol. This was NOT the case. We went thru chills, belly aches, ridiculously high fevers, throwing up all over Grandma's house on her 70th birthday, and so much more.
Yesterday was the day we finally made it into the doctor...which of course was an all day excursion regardless of the fact its less than five minutes from our house. Both kids underwent a series of probings and tests :( The final verdict (which I am not completely sure I agree with) is that Dylan has an ear infection, a cold,a rash on his face from the abrasiveness of the snot on his skin, and an eye infection. Trenton has the flu, requiring a treatment of Tamiflu, which just sounds scary in my world, and an eye infection. Trent's temperature got so high in the doctors office they stripped him naked and covered his poor little sick limp body in ice packs. I was terrified. I thought I did fine until that point, and I held my composure the whole time...but on the inside I had a meltdown the minute I was sitting there holding my sick little beansprout facing away from me, and every nurse walking in would look at him and get this like expression of pity and worry. It sounds cliche but thats really something a mother never wants to see. I felt better about their states this morning, they were " almost a little good" in Dylans words, and "still not good" in Trenton's. But they are starting to act a little more like themselves. Hope we can kick it soon. My kids never ever really get sick and I miss my little buddies. Trent really scared me a couple times this week. I could live without that.
Especially in the midst of working twice as many hours as I have the whole time I've been there! And the icing on our cake this week... Justin's business computer got a virus and pretty much crashed...resulting in the forced? purchase of him a new laptop and a slough of other goodies. Ahh, deep breaths...and a little Bob Marley and I'll be a new soul!
