This has been one crazy week. We started off at the Doctors office the Monday morning after the Super Bowl. Sinus infection, fever and bronchitis. Nice. It just never ends with the little people. My thoughts go immediately to all the people we have spent the last 2 days with at Eli's christening, lunch after, Super Bowl party that evening and just how thrilled they are going to be with us when their kids come down sick to. That quickly fades as I am exhausted from little sleep the night before taking care of a sick pitiful little girl. Antibiotic and cough meds should do the trick. So, Em and I spent most of the week in the house. We never left...not once...for anything...at all. I tried to keep her down so she wouldn't cough so much and that involved lots of projects, games, puzzles and all of my time and attention...and patience. The cough meds made her crazy. Crying screaming one minute and screaming at you mad the next. Sounding much like a little woman the guys are thinking right now, but it was very trying for me. The weather was either bitter cold or raining so outside was not an option. She missed school of course on Tuesday. My goal was to get her well enough to be around people again and attend her Valentine's Day party on Thursday at school. Let's be truthful here- I just needed to leave the house!
She is feeling better but we still have the cough. No more cough meds however.
Here she is Wednesday helping make her class heart cookies. Or more like licking every last sprinkle out of the bowl.
After she took care of the sprinkles, she got started on her Strawberry Shortcake Valentine's cards.
We did make it to the party at school. Rain, sleet or snow was not going to keep me from leaving the house! We made it out long enough to make the party and grocery shop for snow day that was coming.
