Our house smells like a GIANT Vicks Vapor Plug. Well, the little Teplin boys have a cold. That's right a cold. One would think the world was about to end and they were in a third world country where cold remedies were unavailable. However, our house is stocked to the roof with all different types of those remedies, it's just trying to convince them to TAKE the medicine and if they TAKE the medicine it may help them feel better and POSSIBLY let them get rest. OH NO, not my boys. We've purchased the chewable kinds, the 'strips' that literally dissolve in your mouth, the grape flavor, the cherry flavor and even experimented with the bubble gum flavor. Daddy tried some, mommy was next but they are still having a hard time understanding our game.
As a baby, we would literally put Sam in a straight jacket to inject the meds in his mouth. He would gag, vomit and we'd be right back where we started, with a hungry sick baby. AND, Matthew caught onto Sam's tricks and refuses to take medicine. Tonight I hid it in peanut butter and darn it, Sam KNEW it was in there and kept asking to spit it out. Sam would NEVER spit out peanut butter, for heavens sake the jar sits next to him in bed. However the little stinker caught onto my trick. Matthew refuses to work with us, and instead screams so hard his booger selection becomes more intense. Geezzzzeeee.
Now let me reflect back and re-mention they have a COLD. No fevers (not yet anyway), no coughing, no vomiting, no rash, no broken bones, no diarrhea.....plain and simple, a stuffy, runny nose with slight hints of a runny eye or two. That's it. Plain and simple.
I really don't pray, but tonight I will. My prayer will be, "please God take the colds away, and please please please don't let my husband become infected as it will just make my baby load larger".
LYSOL time for me! It's time to SANITIZE and SCRUB!!!
