My new name.....



Just call me....

These days, thats what I feel like now more than ever!  This morning as I got up while my wife was still at work and working late, I unfortunately slept in late and when I woke up, I had 20 minutes to get my three kids fed, dressed and out the door!  Cue Mission Impossible theme song here.  Somehow I managed to get my son fed and the girls to the neighbors and I raced to get him to school on time to avoid another tardy on his record.  And against all odds I made it! 

Later into the morning after I started dinner as my wife was sleeping after working all night I checked on my second oldest (Eve) who was not feeling well for the past few days.  She still had a temperature of 101.3 so I called the doctors and was advised to bring her in.  Before I forget to mention, as I was on the phone my youngest Trinity came running up to me to pick her up.  When I did, I then realized um....no diaper.  Shes on a bit of a streak lately (literally) of being a streak.. she loves to strip and run around laughing and playing chase as we chase her down to re diaper her for the twentieth time of the day... 

Upon arriving at the doctors, Eve's temp had gone up to 104......for a dad, mom or anyone, this is scary mode.  Fortunately it was a quick visit and the doctor was amazing and she checked out to have strep and an ear infection and we were on our way with meds in hand.....  After I finally got her meds filled and got home by then my wife was wide awake and I then realized in the past month I have been to more doctor visits flying solo than I have ever been to in the past 6 years.  All the while I have a mental list of things that need to get done (laundry tops it) it's time for me to exit stage left and get my butt to work for a LONG GRUELING 4 hour day! 

How I long to get back to a topic of religion and not a child being sick!  Hopefully sooner than later as long as no one else catches strep!  Maybe this is when I should say a prayer that they all get well soon!
