Decisions & Congestion

Ugh.

So for the past 5 days

at least someone in our house has been sick

First it was the Influenza A that has been going around

Then it's the lingering congestion

and upper respiratory infection

that we just got over and is now back

Then to top it all of

we rushed to urgent care on Friday

with a horrible ear infection

that had my 3 year old in tears

Let me just say that one of the worst thing

in the world to see your kids

sick and not be able to just take the pain away

Luckily I have not gotten it as worse

as everyone else

but have been busy doling out medicine

doing laundry, wiping noses

and wishing my kisses worked magic

I have however made a decision

on the color for the dining room walls

Let's just say that it is not the safest choice

and I had to promise my husband

it was staying that color for the next 5 years

which means if I change my mind

I'm re-painting it myself...

One of my daughter's favorite movies

is The Bridge to Teribithia

(great movie by the way...but kind of sad)

in that movie there is a scene

where they paint a room this awesome

goldish yellow color

and when the sun strikes it

it just lights up

That is what I'm aiming for in the dining room

I'm hoping since the sniffles have finally subsided

(or at least under control)

that we can start painting tonight

after the girls go to bed

I'm excited...and a little nervous

I would totally hate to admit the hubby was right...
