Poor Little Mikey

Michlyn and I have been struggling with a cold for the last couple days. Finally Sunday I decided to take us in and see if we needed any medication to help us... turns out her Oxygen levels were really low, low enough for them to at have to call an ambulance to bring her to Mercy. She cried when she learned she had to go to the hosbitable AGAIN!! a year ago she was in with phenomena, the nurses got her all calmed down and fussed over her, and the guys that took her by ambulance where even nicer... so she had a pretty good experience... bye the time we got our self's a room for her, she had had 4 neb treatments and responded well to them, but every time they took her off oxygen, they would go down again... they decided to keep her over night. Rick and the kids came up, and I ended up leaving with the Erica and Mike to go home and try to get some sleep and shower so that I could come back to spend the night with her... Best thing I ever did.. got lot's of good sleep with only her and I in the bed :) they were able to take her off of Oxygen and they continued to do them neb and the steroids... she was sent home today feeling her uppidy self... although she sounds awful. The dr. say she probably has Asama and the cold brought the attack on. As for me, I am on a antibiotic.. turns out I have bronchitis, ear infection, and sinus. BUT I don't want to be a W-H-I-N-E-R! :)
Here is a picture of mike in her cute little uniform.. this is when she was feeling alot better!

Blah

Yeah, that's right! Blah... that's what I feel like... so I am gonna write. Today I am watching 4 kids under the age of 3. It's not hard... I guess I am just bored... can't really do anything with them, and I can't just put them all in a carrier and carry them around thru out the house.. so I can do some things that need to be done around here... or maybe if I could I wouldn't want to anyway? NOt feeling to good.. got the cold... any case, here we are in my living room for approx. 11 hours a day. Erica comes back tonight, maybe that is why I have been blah? she has been gone since monday morning 5:45 a.m. she went to WolfRidge, I can't wait until she gets back to I can here all about it. thankfully she has tomorrow off so that we can catch up. she broke down and called me tuesday late afternoon... I didn't care, I was just so happy to hear from her. Life is not the same without her... Hey maybe I am blah because I haven't had my coffee the way I like it with my Coffee Matte French Vanilla Fat Free for 2 days now... I have been drinking it with a little milk and splenda. I don't like it. but that cream is so expensive. and I know I use way to much.
well, One great thing that has been going on in my life is I have a awesome great group of friends... They are funny, passionate, loving, bold... I don't know what I am gonna do when the yada yada book series is over. Every day at bed time I can't wait to hook up and see what those girls have been up to.
This weekend is a busy one. Nicholas has hockey Friday night, Sat. morning at 6:30 A.M.!! and sunday. Erica starts the basket ball tournament tomorrow night at 6:00 and thru sat. Michlyn has her dance recital, sat. early evening.
I have laundry up the ying yang, which I will have more tonight after Erica gets home but thank you lord we have clothes to wear... a washing mashine to wash them with, a roof over our heads, health, family, a beautiful lot of land, food in our fridge, a job, all our activities we have our kids in, I could go on and on and on... so why am I blah! I have no right! I know, maybe becasue I am so tired.. this cold is wearing on me... up all night hacking up goobers, but thank you Lord for my bed, and comforter and sheets and all my kids in my bed, and thank you for the lungs you have given me, and life... so right now I am gonna go cook some dinner for a daycare family that the husband just had surgery, do I feel like it? No, but I am going to, becasue it makes me feel good to see when I hand the pot of food over to the lady, how thankful she will be. So thank you Lord for the pots and pans I cook with, and the gas that I cook with and the food I have enough to share, and a heart to want to do something nice for someone even though I really don't feel like it, and even though no one does anything like that for me! But thank you Lord for helping me to not be bitter about that, thank you for not having me have circumstances that I would need someone to do something like that for me...
O.k. I better go.
peace.

I have been thinking it's been a while since I have blogged not that long, but a quick up date on what's been happening at the Fyten home... Not much...
Everyone except for mike and me are getting over the nasty cold virus. Me and Mike haven't gotten yet.. hope not to!
Haven'tbeen doing much but making list already for Christmas.. can't believe it already November.. time is flying.. I really do hate it.. and it just doesn't seem as magical as it did when I was younger not even that much younger... I think it's just your life get so full of things that you have to do... that you don't have time to think about things like the special holiday's coming up... your so busy doing thing after thing and it just sneaks up on ya... I don't like it... I was just trying to think of a way I could make life slow down so that I can look forward to Christmas like I use too.. be able to enjoy the little things... Instead your thinking of what gifts to buy, how much money will you have, what parties you have to plan, what parties we have to attend... who can you afford to get a gift for, where will the tree be... have to have time to shop along with the million other things that come along with having 4 kids... but that's the way it is...
We were planning on signing Erica up for a winter season of basketball but after rereading the letter it said 5th graders, so that was a bit of a relief... that will free up about 5 hours a week of our life.. what shall we do with thos 5 hours? I wish that I could spend it doing something that matters.. like playing a game with my kids, going to visit someone that I haven't visited in a while... reading my bible?? having movie theater night with the family??? I should make my self do something such as this... but I am sure I will struggle with ooh what laundry needs to get done, what cleaning should I do... Nichoals is now getting into hockey big time now.. he's a squirt now... that's mighty big! they have practice at 6:30 a.m. on a SUNDAY! they have home and away jersey's! they have party's to attend, and hockey mom's actually get together to do things for the team.. aaauugg... and the cost of hockey! holey moley! I get about 3 e-mails a day on hockey information... that is just so important like coming to practice 45 min earlier on friday because they have to try on work out outfits that cost $73.00 dollars!!! they don't even skate in them.. they just come and go in them... that's nuts.. hopefully we will get them around christmas time so that can be one of nicholas gifts from us... man... I need some more daycare kids I think! well, Michlyn informs me that she is not going to dance anymore! I donh't know what her problems is... it all started when I was 3 min. late picking her up and she had a crying fit thinking I left her for good... poor thing. I want her to stay in it... I love going to watch the compititions. maybe Brooke then will be my dancer? all though she is made for gymnastics...
anyway better get going... see, I didn't have a whole lot to talk about... just talking to my self like I always do.
