Seriously?

After the week we've had... Richie, Diego, Catie's ears (Wednesday I took Catie in because I thought something was off... the doctor told me her tubes had fallen out already. I was having a difficult time getting appointments at Packard and have been feeling pretty emotional about the whole thing. Update: Read on to more recent posts... they're actually not out, but one is not in the correct position.) Graduation activities, Ballet, etc. etc. I was REALLY looking to a relaxing week in Tahoe with Meesh, Charli and Jaemysen. Visions of beaches during the day, wine on the deck at night!

Well, to make another long (and yucky!) story short, we got up to Tahoe to an adorable cabin Meesh had rented from her friends. Catie vomited on the way up and had BAD diarrhea (the WHOLE time we were there!). We were hoping it would clear up and she would start feeling better. No such luck! The second night, Ginger woke up A LOT crying that her ear hurt. I took them both to Urgent Care in the morning and Ginger had a really bad ear infection, Catie had some kind of stomach bug (obviously!) and DOUBLE ear infection! And poor little Jaemysen! She started out with what we thought was a cold, but it got much worse. I mean, seriously?! Good thing we had stocked up on white wine!

We sucked it up as long as we could, and did activities that didn't included water (scrap the beach and pool!). We went horseback riding, shopping, eating and mini golfing. We did great, given the circumstances, but ended up coming home a day early.

Meesh and I are hoping next summer will be very, very different.
