We are at the start of a new week. A week where we intend to:
- Break Little MPB’s Paw Patrol/Super Wing addiction. He watched WAY too much TV while sick with pneumonia, and we started the process of giving it up over the weekend. It has not gone all that well, but we aren’t a TV house so the poor kid is just going to have to re-adjust.
- Clean up our house. Oh my gosh, our house is a disaster after last week. I don’t even know where to start on tackling it all!
- Go back to our regularly scheduled daycare and work lives. Little MPB has recently been going through rough daycare drop-offs, so I’m sure today isn’t going to go well! But, again, he’s going to have to re-adjust. As for Mr. MPB and I, getting back to our mostly regularly scheduled work weeks is probably going to be exhausting, but in a completely different way then caring for a very sick kid was exhausting.
- I’m off to the doctor to have my illness checked out this morning. Mr. MPB is betting I have pneumonia. I’m hoping for some sort of miracle which means I’m not that sick.
- Last week when Little MPB wasn’t eating, the Adult MPB’s relied a little too heavily of quick meals, like freezer pizzas and store bought roasted chickens. So, now that Little MPB is eating more, we’d like to get back to home cooked meals. Last night I made us spaghetti squash pasta using all fresh ingredients. It was so nice to eat fresh foods again (sorry I forgot to take a picture, but it truly is an amazing meal)!
So, here’s to hoping this week is better then last week in the MPB household! Wishing everyone else a great week too!

It’s clearly been a tough week in the MPB household.
In not so good news, I am incredibly sick! Currently it’s in my sinus’, which is really good considering my history with bronchitis over the last few years. I have an appointment with my family doctor on Monday for other health stuff, so I’ll be sure to get him to check out my lungs while I’m there.
Also in the not so good news, Little MPB is still teething. It looks like he’s only managed to get 1 more 2 year molar out this week. So, we are still waiting on 1 last 2 year molar to arrive.
But, in really great news Little MPB has been Baby Advil and Baby Tylenol free for almost 48 hours. Which means he has also been fever free for almost 48 hours! Which means happy dance time at the MPB house! And he even ate 2 whole bananas yesterday! I’d say he’s on the upswing now, although he does have a check-up scheduled with our family doctor next week just to be safe – because I figure you can never be too safe when it comes to pneumonia. Technically we could have sent him back to daycare today (the rules from the hospital were he could go around other children and daycare after 48 hours of antibiotics and 24 hours fever free), but we’ve decided to keep him home for the whole week. Honestly, we know Little MPB will be much happier hanging out at home as he recovers. Also, I figure a happy kid is likely to speed up his recovery exponentially. And if I’m honest, we just wanted to keep an extra close eye on him ourselves. Thankfully we were able to swing our work schedules so that one of us could be home with him every day.
And, of course Mr. MPB is still perfectly healthy. How he’s managed to avoid all the germs circling around him is beyond me!
But, I have to say, thank god it’s Friday! I’m so over this week already!
