Unfortunately all 3 of my girls have been sick with fever and cough...yuck!  I was not able to do my long run on Saturday and have been exhausted from the long nights taking care of everyone. Tonight I was finally able to get something in.  I did bike for 60 minutes, abripperx, push ups.  It felt so good to exercise!  Hopefully I will not get this as bad as they did...I am feeling stuffed up!

I am so sorry they are sick. Colby is really sick and it is getting old. I keep telling him that unless he pukes on the floor, he does not need to come and wake me every time!!!! I am so tired...

Hope the girls get well soon and that the two of you do not catch it. How was your birthday?

That's too bad Colby has been sick. Anna has been getting up atleast once a night for months now with nightmares and I have to get up and put her back in her bed...It's exhausting!!! My birthday was good. Just an easy going day.
