You know that cold that I mentioned was threatening? Well, I got it. Full blown sick. I’ve got the sneezing, the stuffy nose, the sinus pressure, the achy head. In fact, if it were physically possible to blow the nose right off of my face into the Kleenex, I’m sure it would have happened. All the garbage cans are full of Kleenex, and there’s a little pile of Kleenex by my bed, where I’ve been tossing the Kleenex, but they don’t quite hit the garbage can.
The kids have been quite sympathetic, asking if I’m feeling better, telling me they hope I feel better, and asking if there’s anything they could do to help me feel better. Jenna even wrote me a cute get well card and taped heart balloons on it. Isn’t that sweet? You say to yourself. Those kids must really care about their mom. Well, kind of. But mostly, it’s that I promised to take them to the new children’s museum at Gateway on Monday, since they have the day off of school. We talked about this on Friday, and they can hardly wait. John asked that night when we were going to the museum. He thought we meant we were going right then, not in 3 days. Well, if Mom’s sick, she won’t be taking anyone to the childrens’ museum, right? So, they are really hoping I’ll get better so I can take them where they want to go.
Actually, I am feeling quite a bit better this evening than I was last night, and even this morning. I lazed around all day, didn’t go to church, and pretty much stayed drugged up on Tylenol cold. I’m not sneezing so much, but I wish I had the use of both of my nostrils. If I can breathe tonight, then I’ll sleep.
So, be sure to disinfect your keyboard and mouse after reading this, so you won’t get it, too. And wish me luck at the children’s museum tomorrow.
ooh – we love that new museum! have fun!
One of the girls in our office is pregnant, and she’s taking a cold, but the dr.’s office won’t call her back to tell her what she can take! She’s getting pretty upset about now.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Hope you are feeling better!
So, did you end up taking the kids to the museum?
Girly, girly, girl… have you forgotten about the amazing power of Afrin??? Just two squirts and bye bye stuffy nose and sinus pressure (for 8 hours!). It really is a miracle medicine and got me through a head cold many-a-times. You are likely feeling better by now – I hope (smile). If not, give me a call – I’ve got extra on hand.
