Malfunctioning Children

What a week this has been and its only Thursday! I took the boys to the Dr yesterday because they both had runny noses. I normally don't take my kids to the doctor for a runny nose but Max told me his ear hurt. That is one of the real perks of having a child who can finally talk!! So Max has an ear infection and Charlie has a little head cold AND a yeast infection in his neck (gotta love fat babies) and GERD. Poor little guy has really bad heartburn and spits up all the time and has these lovely screaming fits. I am hoping this helps him start sleeping through the night. Chas and I are so tired from these up all night deals. Chas is way more tired than me since he has started getting up with Charlie more at night. By the time Chas gets the baby back to sleep it is time for him to get up and go to work. Luckily he has the next 4 Fridays off and I am very excited.

Today is soccer practice and don't you know I forgot what time it got moved to?? Crap. I had to email the other coach like a big doofus and ask him. What kind of coach am I if I can't even remember what time we have practice. Life is too short to be this unorganized!

I have decided to be brutal in cleaning out this apartment. We have too much crap and so I am going through stuff and posting it on our local FreeCycle. I posted some stuff last night and got a number of fast replies and have a nice lady coming to pick up the first batch today. If I don't get some stuff out of here we are going to have to move Charlie to the roof!

It is getting to be that time of year that I loathe. I have 2 favorite seasons. Spring and Fall. They are beautiful around here and I love the colors and weather. I HATE the changing of the clothes. I have to do it twice a year and it takes all weekend. I have only it done for 2 kids in the past and this is my first year of adding a 3rd child. I have to drag out all the summer stuff and box it up and get out the winter stuff but still make sure I have some summer stuff left out to go under sweaters and such. I was hoping Max would be able to wear his jeans from last year but no such luck. He has grown 3 inches and so all of his old pants are way to short. I don't undertand why they group kids in these sizes. 12M, 18M, 24M, 2T, 3T, ect..........Max has long legs but a small waist. Why don't they have a 2T long?? The 3T will fit him in length but not around his tummy so he will have pants falling down all winter. Charlie is SUPER long and is the same length as Max was at 12 months old. I am pretty sure Max's winter clothes will fit Charlie. Catie has quite a number of things for this winter but will need a few tops. Max will need all new clothes. Poor kid. All he wore last year were onsies because of his tube and now his torso is too long and he needs regular shirts. So it is off to Wal-Mart to hit the geranimals section!! I LOVE only spending $3.50 on a pair of pants that I know he is going to trash. I am hoping Childrens Place will have a big sale too so I can get him a couple of semi-nice things. It all adds up and I am glad I am working!

Well I am off to find something to clean out. It shouldn't be too hard!! Everything is stuffed to the rafters!!
