Sick... Work... and Teething.. Oh, my...

Between work and Mason being sick and being stuck in SW Iowa at the Tropics Grandparents house I haven't been able to get on the computer. Blogging from the BlackBerry leaves something to be desired.
My hours have finally gotten straightened out at work. They were scheduling me for 26-30 hours a week. Way more than I wanted or need to work. Now I am only scheduled 12-15 hours a week which is so much better.
Mason has been teething. Like really teething. The rest of teeth came in yesterday and a couple broke through this morning. I am not a fan of teething. I don't mind the slobber it is the runny diarrhea and the subsequent diaper rash that goes with it that I could do without. I mean Mason doesn't get grumpy or anything like that, well at least until you try to change his butt. Teething is the only time he has had diaper rash and then he gets it bad enough he bleeds. We have gone through a whole tube of Desitin this week. So unless I have miscounted we should be done with the teething for a while. Yeah!!
Somewhere I picked up a horrible head cold complete with the popping ears and all. I don't do well sick. I don't take the time to take care of myself when I am sick. I am too busy taking care of everybody else.
I especially can't be sick today I have too much to do. Austin was playing with the water in the basement and shut off the water to my washer so I still have yesterdays bedding to wash. I was more than a little upset with him but what do you do. It isn't like I can call him at work and yell at him because he just laughs and hangs up. He knows how mad that makes me and by the time he gets home I have stewed over it enough that I just start yelling at him when he steps in the door. I don't yell for very long because I usually don't remember the real reason I am mad I just yell at him because he laughed at me and hung up the phone. He gets unknown amounts of enjoyment out of this. For days he will chuckle about it. I know and he wonders why I do the things to him that I do.
Now I just need to get back into my normal routine of things and we should be set.
