Still Stinks

One day I will post about Mother's Day and Kate's birthday and other exciting stuff.

Starting last Saturday and running through this Sunday (that's a whopping 9 days), Kate had diarrhea, as well as her pink eye, sinus and ear infection. I am not talking about a little loose diaper here and there. I am talking up to the arm pits, five or six outfits, three sets of sheets, every.single.day. I figured it was from the antibiotic she was on and started her on probiotics. When that didn't work we tried another form from the health food store called Jaro-Baby. That didn't work either. By Monday, Leah had trouble with it too. I finally had to put her back in pull-ups because the laundry and clean up were getting out of hand. By Thursday Leah was back to normal and finally by Sunday, Kate was semi-solid again. Sunday afternoon her pinkeye was back and her nose was dripping green goop again. So here we are on yet another round of antibiotics (this time the doctor called them in since we have no insurance). We are just praying this one doesn't "clean" her totally out.

At this point I think I am passed being stressed with life. I think I am at the point that I am depressed. I have trouble handling my kids (who are in a MAJOR push buttons/act out stage), I have trouble handling my responsibilities (found a stack of unpaid bills), we're running out of money and I am just in an all around funk. I am having trouble seeing the good in the world, this country, my life. My feelings of ungratefulness lead to more feeling bad. I am sure this is just temporary, but I wish it would pass quickly. If you get a chance, please pray for me and my sanity (whatever was there) to be restored. Thanks!
