What’s worse than one toddler on prednisone?
Two toddlers on prednisone, of course!
That’s right. You know that little cold that Ivy aquired at the paddle pool? Well, Noah got it too and it became an asthma attack that needed prednisone. Yesterday was day three and the ‘roid rage was in full swing… or should I say road rage? (Thank goodness his course is over).
Here is a photo of my normally sweet natured boy mouthing off in his car. It was raining and so the car had to come inside for the day. Hate to be in the car with this dude, when he really gets his license. Talk about cranky!
So, can anyone tell me what is worse than two toddlers on Pred? Go on, have a guess…
Two toddlers and a small rat dog on pred!
Bet you didn’t see that one coming.
Oh yes, we are keeping prednisone producing pharmaceuticals in business!
The dog had fleas. We got rid of the fleas but the dog kept scratching.
Turns out he gets eczema too!
A course of prednisone will fix that, says the vet.
(Insert maniacle laugh of choice here)
Why not?
The dog doesn’t scratch anymore but has gone into some major hyperactive springing and amazing tap dancing on the glass door.
So does anyone want to wager a guess on what is worse than all of the above?
A husband who has caught the toddlers’ cold!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Wah.
Boohoohoohoohoooooooo!
*sob*
*sniff*

Nothing has changed.
To top it all off Ivy’s blisters came back in full force this morning. (You can check out the up dated photos here).
It’s not on her bottom so much as travelling down her legs now and in her mouth.
Of course the paed is not in today.
In true Ivy style though, when she spotted the blister in the mirror, she exclaimed…
“Ooooh, lolly! Lolly on me - ee!”
Oh sweetie, if only it were.

Ahhh - you’ve had your hands ridiculously full, eh?
Geez!! Everybody [and doggie] feel better!!
argh my comment vanished - Tiff - so sorry that is so much for any mum to have to put up with. I have no advice to offer , no answers as to what is worse - Nothing compares right now …
I was going to say words fail me … but it is not true … I am waffling on now.
Sorry I am too far away but I will come soon bringing chocolate … name your fave and I will bring whatever else will make the toddlers cheery.
Hope things get better tomorrow.
Girl, there is room in my rocking corner for two. You wanna bring the wine or the chocolate?
Smootches
Hey, at least now I know who I need to talk to if I nee steroids.
Love your doggie!
I have a rock? You can come hide under it with me if you like. We’ll get Kelley and share the wine and chocolate.
Obviously prednisone is flavour of the month where you are.Perhaps the supply chain sent too much and they have to get rid of it before the use by date?
I can’t believe they would do this to you. w
When they already know of the troubles with Ivy, to prescribe more of the same for your household is just too insensitive.
Just the WORD prednisone (or however you spell it) sounded bad. It just couldn’t be good, that was all I could tell.
I am giggling here.. Tiff you wrote that so well…
But the worst thing IS a spouse with a teensy tiny cold… the mountains of moaning.. the woeing and wailing all over a bit of snot and possibly an itchy throat.. Bah!!!!
Gotta love that lolly.. Yay for Ivy..
(((hugs)))) kim xoxox
Oh wow, you are amazing Tiff, the way you write about your life! Sounds like you need some Prednisone yourself (just kidding!). Hope it all settles down soon…….
Oh good grief! Thank goodness you’re still joking about it all.
Man-Flu is the most annoying disease that afflicts women - having to put up with men ‘dying’ from a wee sniffle!
Oh hun, I feel your pain. I have a man-baby too whenever the tiniest symptoms surface. Lock yourself in a bathroom. It works for me…sometimes. Until they all find me…
Oooo. You poor thing! I cannot imagine twins, and a rat terrier simultaneously on predisone - yikes! And to throw a sniffling hubby into the mix? No fair! You need a spa day : ( … a spa WEEK!!!
