one more post and then I'm signing off...

First, I had no idea how far behind I was and the only unfortunate reason I've had the time in the past few days to catch up is that both of my kids have hand/foot/mouth. It is absolutely the most miserable, horrible and painful thing I've ever had to go through as a Mom. Paige has been crying for the better part of today and yesterday...can't sleep and will wake up crying in pain...and can't eat because the sores in her mouth hurt too bad. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! She got her first sore Tuesday night and Tyler woke up this morning with sores in his mouth so I haven't seen the worst of it for him. At least Paige can understand what's going on...I can't even imagine how it's going to go with Tyler. The doctor said days 4 and 5 are usually the worst. Oh, and the icing on this whole experience is that Jeromy is in Canada until Monday! So, we're home bound for a while and it's so hard because the weather is so beautiful! At least we have our backyard to play in. And, my amazing neighbor Anne Marie brought us frozen yogurt last night, Jamba Juice and more Advil today and just texted and said her 5 year old daughter thought Paige might like to eat marshmallows because they are so soft. How sweet is their family?! Anyway, just thought I'd mention that ;) So, if you read this, say some prayers for this sick Stallings family to get well SOON!
