Icky Sicky

It's been a long week! We've made it though and are now watching some Thomas and playing on the computer.

John was sick this week. On Monday, he had a bit of a runny nose and on Tuesday, he wasn't quite himself. He couldn't get to sleep and when he did, he had to be pressed against either of the two of us. We woke up to him laying across us with his little legs under Tim's. The poor little guy was also coughing. The hardest part about being a working mom is knowing when exactly you should call in and when you should go to work. I'm lucky in that I do earn 12 sick days a year which carry forward. Mostly, though, the cough had me worried and we saw his doctor.

We get there and I fell kind of silly. Is it just a cold? Probably. But what if it's in his lungs? Or his ears (I had constant ear infections when I was little)? Well, luckily, he just had a cold. He was also most likely getting his molars. She recommended some over-the-counter medications. He did grow on us, getting up to three feet(!) tall and almost 29 lbs. We headed home, had lunch and Tim went off to work.

I called my mom who offered to get John down for a nap for me while I picked up his medicine. I took my time at Walgreen's to give her time to get him down and ended up getting some new makeup for a great price and had wonderful service from the make up counter lady. It's nice to have mascara again!

Mom got John down and we relaxed while he slept. He work up an entirely different person. He was perky and hungry! I was so glad to have my sweet boy back!

It's been a rough week with being gone a day at work and John trying to completely recover. I am glad for the weekend and am so looking forward to our ride on the Polar Express on Sunday.

Hoping for a smoother week this coming week and that the three weeks until Winter break goes by quickly.
