Why try?

I am not kidding on this.  I have reached my level of sanity and can no longer claim sane.  Since the Christmas break, Paige has been sick more times than I can count.  I think every week she has either a runny nose, a cough, or a fever.  I am not sure why this is and normally it would worry me, but just about every little kid I know has been in the same boat.  IT IS GETTING OLD.  Ok wait, old was like 2 months ago.  The really sucky thing is that I joined the YMCA so that I could go work out and let Paige go to the childcare.  Works fantastically for me.  I don't know if this is why she can't stay healthy, but it is really annoying when I only get to go maybe one or two times a week if I am lucky, due to her getting sick.
I am also annoyed because it seems like for the past couple of weeks, I can't have just a "normal" day.  Something always goes wrong, or Chad doesn't get home till after midnight.  Yesterday I was happy because it was a gorgeous day and I wanted to go take Paige places, maybe even the beach.  Well, I locked my keys in the car, more like I left them in there from Sunday when Chad was driving.  Yeah not cool.  I decided to just hang out at the park and then later on Paige and I went on a 3 mile walk and then walked to subway for dinner(good thing our complex will give you an extra key to let yourself in).  Not too bad of a day in the end, but I was exhausted.
So today, I had to go to USC to do some X-Rays and I get out of the car and Paige had thrown up ALL over everything.  I had no clue and she had not told me she did.  Chad had to go buy her a 30 dollar dress, that is very cute, but come on!  Now, she is refusing to take a nap yet again, and I will have a struggle of a day trying to keep her happy and entertained.  
Here is some help...I thought Paige was just hitting her "terrible twos" early. Well, in this book I read they say there is such thing as the "terrible twos" but it means a terrible TWO YEARS (from 1-3)  Boy do they have that right!
Ok now I feel better.

That sucks that Paige has been sick for so long. There are a lot of kids at church too that have been sick. That's awesome you joined the Y. If we weren't moving so soon I would want to join too.

I HATE having sick kids! Especially when you never get a break! I am sorry. Terrible two years? Oh how true that is! I am thinking it is not going to stop by the time 3 years old comes around!

I'm sorry! It's the worst when you have not just a bad day but a bad WEEK! :( Not fun! My kids have also been sick for like a whole month. So frustrating. AND! (*breath*) I love your first song! Are you a big fan of Enchanted as well? I just watched it during naptime the other day and was cracking up all by myself. I love it!
