sick, sick and teething

This will be really short. I'm fighting off another round of mastitis and possibly the flu (it's so hard to tell; my last round with mastitis certainly felt flu-ish). Grace is home because I suspect that her UTI is back. Julia is teething (tooth number two broke through last night). Anyone want to trade places with me?

I went to bed at 7:30 last night aching all over. Craig didn't get Grace down until 10:15. She ran to the the bathroom six times, and she complained that her tummy hurts (a side effect of her antibiotics, I think). I have a call into the pediatrician this morning to check on her cultures and determine if we need a different medication. Thankfully, her doctor is quite opposed to antibiotics, so I trust that she really needs them if he writes a prescription.

I'm going to cheat and post a picture that I took yesterday. This is a burned out house in the sketchier section of Beall's Hill.

Ellen - that sounds awful! I really hope you feel better soon! I can't imagine having the flu with two little kids at home. I hope it passes quickly and Craig is able to be home and help out.
