Jessica has been sick the last two days. When she talked, she sounded like a frog. She wasn't running a fever and wasn't complaining, so I thought maybe a new cold now that the kids are back in school. Well, she woke up Friday morning complaining of a sore throat. And sure enough - strep throat. Hopefully it's only my imagination that my throat is hurting a bit this morning.
We started watching The Wizard of Oz last night with Jessica. I think I fell asleep right after she started down the yellow brick road. LOL. About 8:00. And then when we took Jess up to bed, I laid down with her -- for a few minutes, right -- and woke up again at 11. Now I know why. We, Jessica and I, were up at 4:15. She was coughing a lot and couldn't sleep. Hopefully that will mean a nice long afternoon nap is in our future. Right now it's coffee, jucie, and "Wow, Wow Wubbzy."
My bright idea of applying Vics Vapor Rub to help with the cough has not gone so well. There may be a warm bath in our near future to remove the remaining "smell." I should have known better since she is super sensitive to smells.
We are lucky and blessed in that Jess has never really been sick. We've had the occasional cold and an ear ache once. But nothing major. Thank God. I've heard people talk about being up all night with kids that are throwing up. I'm grateful we haven't had to do that. She's been super healthy.
So, a super early morning that's given me a bit of time to at least attempt a blog update. I've been making a list of additional posts too. And its given me some time to catch up on other posts that I follow.
Happy Saturday All. Let's hope we get a night downpour about 2 so we can nap while it rains!
