The Reason I Am Anti-Social Right Now AKA The River of Green

You haven't seen me in weeks. You haven't really seen my children much either. Maybe once a week and really we all know that's nowhere near enough. You are in Blue Eyes family withdrawal.

The reason? Something I call "The River of Green" with no affection at all. Yes, this is a post about snot, boogers, the green gold, etc. It is currently coming out of all four of our noses and Tiny's ears. Yes, EARS. That is the beauty of tubes in the ears. You can still get the infection BUT it COMES OUT. The first time Little had an infection after her tubes I called the Pediatrician in hysterics because it was bloody. BLOOD WAS COMING OUT OF HER EARS! Guess what? NORMAL. So here I am with tissues literally surrounding me (Tiny got a hold of the box ) and I want to go out. I miss my friends. But every time we leave this house I end back at the pediatrician and although we love Dr. Singleman like she is a long lost member of the family, I really need to not owe more of my pay check back to my employer. ( How crappy does that sound, right?)

Look Close....Boogies.

 I am not saying you are making my family sick. Let's be very clear about that. I am saying we will infect you. We are Patient Zero and Typhoid Mary. We generate the snot here and I am very greedy with our magical snot. How else will I get my ears to do that snap*crackle*pop* thing they have almost perfected.

They have been at school. Can't do anything about that. I think the Panther's Fan needs her rest from wiping uncooperative noses. They have been at choir. (Although I have been using that time to work later because of the Dr appointments). I did let them hang out with the Female Cruiser yesterday. (She's been snotty too. Sorry Mom.)  And then there is AL the babysitter. The girls love AL and just want to share the magic snot with loved ones. She covered a jury duty last week and a date night.Thanks AL!

Speaking of the date night.....we had not been out alone together since August. Oy. The romance. It was our Valentine's-type day. I also realized that two years ago this month we became pregnant with Tiny. I have not had a solid nights sleep in officially two years now. Ok, back to the snot.

We will see you soon. I really am disappointed there was no snow this winter but I am ready for spring and the annual drying up of The River of Green. This year has brought the wonderfulness of Tiny mimicking the way Little blows her nose.....HILARIOUS.
