Kids, I’ve been taken out by a terrible cold, at least that’s what I thought for a couple of days as I gulped immunity drinks and took my vitamins. Then I woke up with intense sinus pain and thought, “Oh it’s my allergies!” and began to take something for that. After a couple days of pain and exhaustion it occurred to me that last year when my allergies flared within a couple hours of taking my anti-histamine I felt fine. The next morning I went to the doctor who diagnosed me with a sinus infection exacerbated by allergies.
I was barely on the mend when Torey came down with a plague, so I brought her and the girls to my house. I’d rather not write about that as Willa has been engaging in some sort of scream fest generally, combine that with hours without her mama and it was ugly, my friends. I was being pulled in so many directions it was comical. Fortunately I just kept dealing with things (read: the other children) as they came up, “I know you want to swim, but have you noticed this small person? Yes, this one with the red face, who is shrieking, I’m a wee bit involved with her right now, but I will certainly attend to your needs as soon as I meet hers.”
I never met hers.
Repeat the above conversation, adding different outrages, atrocities and needs about a thousand times, throw in several trips across town (lessons, classes, parties!) and you have my experience last Wednesday.
The summer is a flying. It’s been fairly low key and that has been good.
We are alive and well and, most days, having a lovely relaxed summer.
I’ll keep you posted…eventually.
