All three kids have had a cold for about a week and a half now. Pebbles developed a diaper rash which led to, yes, you guessed it, an MRSA relapse. My poor little girl ended up in the ER with an abscess where the light don't show. She's been more ill than the other two, to boot, but is now on antibiotics and her fever finally broke yesterday during her nap. The dr said that she didn't need surgery since the infection was, ahem, resolving on its own and with a little help from antibiotics she'll be right as rain in a week or so. The rest of us? Well, all five of us get to shower with surgical scrub and put antibiotic cream in our noses for a week. In the words of my handsome husband, "ew."
Also, due to a widespread communication malfunction, Man gets to be a soldier today. :( Of course I have no idea why, for how long, or what they're having him do, but I do know that I have three sick kids, a little girl who needs a little extraordinary care, I have a primary lesson to teach, and he has the car. Maybe this is a day to find a sub and call in sick.
On the positive side, we had a great weekend in and around the bummer parts. We got some great family time on Friday and Saturday. The kids had a blast at a primary activity and Man and I stayed up too late talking last night. We got Jet Li's Fearless and had fun discussing it and comparing it with Seven Swords. I can definitely recommend Fearless, as long as you don't mind fighting movies. Seven Swords was a pretty darn cool flick but it just didn't have as much of a story as I think a 2.5 hour movie ought to have. SS had a few slow bits but for the most part kept a pretty good pace without a whole lot of character development. Not surprising for how many dang main characters there are. Donnie Yen is featured very prominently in the cast list but had I think the fewest speaking parts, but some of the best fight scenes. Fearless, on the other hand, was a very interesting journey to watch. There were some creative elements in the fight scenes and my respect for Jet Li's acting ability has certainly been increased with his performance.

POOR PEBBLES!!!
That's for sure. She's the best of the three at dealing with pain graciously, but dang it this thing HURTS!! And now it's closed up on its own. :( I'm making an appt with her pediatrician to see if further action needs to take place since it closed. I know mine still felt pretty hard by the time it was done draining, and so does hers but hers hasn't gotten much smaller since Sat. Hasn't gotten bigger, but that isn't the goal. Anyway, my poor little sweetpea. We're keeping her drugged on pain killer and have to use gloves every time we change her diaper.
