sick mama

I thought I would get sick sooner in the school year, but here we are, my first cold of the fall. And I didn’t even catch it from Freya, I’m pretty sure it was Audrey’s snotty little face. Good thing she’s so freakin adorable. Anyway it’s hit with full force today. Stuffy and sleepy oh […]

phlegm is a gross word/thing

There is a point during a chest cold when you start forgetting what it was like to not have a disgusting cough, even if it’s only been a week. When you start feeling so very sorry for yourself, wondering WILL THIS NEVER END????? etc etc. Or maybe it’s just me.

it’s quiet

Everyone is still in bed. Audrey seemed to sleep okay last night, though did wake to nurse as usual and had some short coughing fits. The coughing scares me. I know cough is a normal part of a chest cold, but I also know it can turn into something worse, and I don’t like thinking […]

tough time

Both girls are sick, coughing, runny noses, and little baby had a fever all night. I put a humidifier in Freya’s room in the hopes it might help her chest.

pearls

Have to remember to wear earrings so my holes don’t close up. I wear studs because Audrey can’t grab them. There was a period in the 90s when for several years I did not wear earrings at all. I am not sure what the deal was. I guess I just didn’t own any. My jewelry […]

sick

I caught Freya’s cold, and so did Brian. She recovered in less than 24 hours, but Brian and I are not as tough as our little baby, so we are both kind of a mess. But she still must be cared for, so while I’d love to be laying on the couch with some tea, […]

coff coff

I know I’ve always been sorta “opposed” to having a TV in the bedroom, thinking that the bedroom should be a sanctuary dedicated to sleeping, reading, and [censored], but I must say, having cable TV right there when I am as sick as I am is great. Plus the TV set is inside the armoire, […]
