Sickies here, sickies there, sickies everywhere

For the past 3 weeks at least one of our immediate family has been sick. I fought it off until last weekend but then I succumbed. For Asher it was just a really bad cough/sore throat with a little bit of croup but not enough to take him to the doctor for. For Hannah it was all of the above as well as a bad case of the croup. She got to go to the doc and get the steroid. JJ initially complained of complained of the the sore throat but never really got too sick. Lance was out of town to a conference in St. George while Hannah and Asher were the sickest. By the time he got home he was sick with it too. It had him down for the weekend and a couple of days the next week. In the midst of this we were still doing soccer games and trying to get my mom fully moved out of her house. Then both Hannah and Asher ended up with ear infections stemming from it. The next weekend Lance was over it but it was General Conference and I was officially down with it. It is Thursday and I am still in the midst of it but you know mom's just can't take a day off even if they didn't get any sleep the night before. I am pretty sure I have an ear infection too. I am trying to decide whether to try and tough it out or just give in and go see the doc. I really hate going to the doctor and I was just there getting a physical a couple of weeks ago. Between the cough and the pressure in my ears I am pretty darn miserable. But enough boo hooing. We were able to get my mom's antique player piano moved to our house this week as well as a new dryer (the other one was literally eating our clothes). We have been repainting our living room area and rearranging furniture so the house is in total disorder. Hannah is in another play workshop called Whackadoo Zoo. She just loves the singing, dancing, and acting. JJ and Asher are playing soccer. JJ's team is so small that they never have enough players to substitute during the game so we asked if a girl could play on the team and we got the ok so my friend Missy's daughter Kynlee is going to play on his team. We are so excited! Asher's team has been doing awesome especially considering they are all either 4 or 5 year olds. They have one girl on the team and she is the star player! Lance enjoys coaching but this time around the assistant coach has been kind of interesting to work with. She is super competitive and really like to take over and try to push the kids to do stuff that they just aren't capable yet. Lance is really patient with her and the kids so things have worked out. I have pictures of the boys soccer games that I will post later. Right now I am going to crawl back under the covers and wait for this cold to take it's leave of me.
