Bad blogger and two little sickies

I'm a bad blogger.  I knew I would be.  My life just isn't interesting enough to blog about right now.  Not to mention that I am apprehensive about what I should and should not be putting out there in cyber world.  I have mentioned before that I am pretty private anyhow...  what to do.  I am thinking that this blogging thing could really be about all of those little things that I mean to write down in baby books...  you know, like how Owen and Jordan say things like "That scared me out of my crap" and how they call "The Bee movie", "The Beet movie".  I don't want to forget all of the little things that make me laugh everyday.  I want to be able to look back one day and say "Oh yeah, I remember that!" instead of having no recollection at all (like I often do with the older kids) because I am old and pertinent information such as that was thrown out of my memory bank when I had more and more and more kids.  That makes me sad.  If it isn't bad enough that I hardly have any photos of the older kids as small babies (let's face it...  digital cameras weren't in my budget, or didn't exist), but I really have to struggle to remember things from when they were wee little ones too.  I'm sure they forgive me.

Okay...  so for the two little sickies:  I wrote a whole long to-do about this last night only to have my post disappear before I could post it, oh well.  I said if Owen was not better by today, I would take him to the doc this morning and low and behold, Jordan becomes sick as well.  I know I didn't mention this before in the "Who am I" post...  but I like to think of myself as Doctor Newcomb.  The internet comes in very handy when I am making my diagnosis, sometimes. Thank goodness I am not a real doctor!  I had Owen pegged with fifth disease and it turns out to be strep.  The rash is from the strep.  They both have strep throat.  We haven't had a decent nights sleep in about 4 or 5 nights, so here's to hoping that the amoxicillin kicks this sickness in the hiney.  The bags under my eyes are not very attractive.
