Sniffle, Sniffle, Cough, Sneeze

So what's the deal?  How come no one is really blogging anymore?  Or so it seems.  Doesn't everybody know that this is my only social connection to the outside world?

The last few days have been a bit challenging.  All 3 girls and I have a cold so there is a lot of coughing, sneezing and cuddling going around here.  As well, Sophia is teething badly.  I see a tiny corner of her bottom centre tooth trying to poke through.  Oh how badly I want her teeth to come out and be done with that.  On top of this...all 3 girls and I got immunized this afternoon.  I was always missing the Measles, Mumps, Rubella shot.  Or so I have been told numerous times in my life by nurses that have taken my blood.  Alex and Rachel also missed their MMR booster shot when they were 18 months.  So while Sophia got her 4 months old shots, we decided to get the rest of us up to date.  It was absolutely no fun at all.  I had to go first and act all happy and brave when I HATE needles.  And it did really sting and no I'm not being wimpy about it.  Then Rachel went she had to have 2 needles and she was really brave with the 1st shot.  Then she got the stingy MMR shot and starting to weep.  Alex started weeping with her sister.  GREAT...Alex is crying even before she has had her shots.  Then it's Alex's turn, she weeps while getting both needles but then Rachel starts crying holding onto Alex.  They can't stand either one of them being hurt...they look out for each other...very sweet.  So they wept at each other's pain.  Then the girls went to the waiting area with Papa while I stayed with Sophia who had no clue what was about to happen to her.  The nurse actually let me nurse her while she was getting the needles.  Some nurses don't let me stating that they are worried that the baby will choke.  So anyhow, Sophia gets 3 needles and it goes better than I thought thanks to the breastfeeding.  At the end of the hour I ask the nurse if she finds her job stressful.  She responds that she loves it why do I ask?  I was sweating profusely and I was stressed out to the max.  Anyhow that is what has been going on with us in the last few hours.  Absolutely surprisingly Papa just got home right this instance from his massage appointment and guess what he brought home for me.....McDonalds!!!  This is so incredible because he hates McDonalds, and because it is almost 9PM at night and because we already had dinner with the kids at 5:30pm.  But I am super happy because I get to eat this trio while watching a burned copy of Dexter.
