Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

I need to apologize to the two of you that follow my blog. Once again, I've been horribly remiss in posting.

I can explain.

As I may have mentioned, the plague hit our house about three weeks ago. Okay, well maybe not THE plague, but when a foreign virus stops by uninvited, it has a devastating impact on everyone. I went to the emergency room at CHOA twice in a six day stretch. First, L had RSV. Then N woke up one morning with an ENORMOUS lymph node.

Thankfully L is doing much, much better.

N was put on a round of high powered antibiotics. His recovery has been slow and I've been sick with worry. The node is still huge (picture ping-pong ball) and he's not himself. I took him in for a recheck on Friday. We're in a holding pattern for the next two weeks. However, since I seem to be obsessed with Googling, I've worked myself into a ridiculous state of anxiety and will be calling our pediatrician back on Monday. I'm praying that it's just an infection like the ER doctor said.

In other news, my little hobby-turned-company, Bella Bee Bo, has had a pretty good week. I've got several leads and really need to get my act together so that I can become profitable. Of course, running a business is something that takes time, and having three sick children who are three and under does not afford one much opportunity to take advantage of such a precious commodity. Needless to say, I'll be working like mad for the next several days trying to get myself "presentable" for the individuals who have expressed an interest in my products.

Last but certainly not least, I will be updating my blog links and sidebars. I PROMISE. Again, it takes time and that's something that I just have not had lately. Every time I've sat down to work on my blog, I find myself Googling those anxiety-causing symptoms and checking Facebook like I'm a 16 year old. In the meantime, I would encourage you to check out my new favorite blog to follow: keeponspinning.wordpress.com. It is amazing and inspirational and will definitely make you count your blessings. If you have a few extra minutes, read back through her old blog posts to get the whole story.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my wonderful husband and I are having "date night in" tonight, and I need to go put on something other than the uniform sweatpants and t-shirt.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
