Thursday Right?!

How's it going today?

[dreemkin]

I am still not feeling great today and trying to rid my body of the cold virus (plus got Aunt Flow). The girls and I have not left the house due to: my illness, A having a fever, and the outside temp hovering around 0 degrees. I am grateful to be a sahm during times like these!! A has had a fever but improves with ibuprofen so not sure if it's just a funky virus..?? I'm glad my kids are happy doing quiet activities and watching movies bc that's all we're doing this week haha.

Today I might "make crayons" with the girls with all of our broken ones. It'll be a fun and educational (sorting colors, mixing colors, learning about what happens in the oven, etc) project. Something useful too; I hate tiny broken crayon pieces.

PS I responded to everybody yesterday on that post, so check that out!

Feeling on the mend today finally. I did get some nose spray junk so hopefully I will be good to go tomorrow and then it's back to work of course. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

Just took a lot of Christmas decorations down!

I always chuck the crayons but I gotta remember to save them for that reason!

dreemkin hope you feel better soon! I wish my kid liked to color/draw.

mishka29 glad you’re improving!

G is still super snotty. It’s MIL’s birthday so we’re expected to go out for dinner, but I feel bad bringing my kid’s germs in public. He hasn’t had a fever though, so I don’t have a clear reason to keep him home.

dreemkin sorry you aren't feeling well. 0 degrees is not cool! thanks for the crayon reminder. i keep meaning to do that with A and forgetting.

mishka29 glad to hear you're on the mend!

lilyelayne sorry G is still under the weather. tough call. if he doesn't have a fever i'm sure it's fine though.

i'm so tired. C has been sleeping so badly, even if i put her in bed with me. i think it's because i've been trying to eat more foods in the last week and she's uncomfortable. so i'm going back to my strict elimination diet and we'll see if she improves. we are also supposed to skype interview two au pairs tonight. i'd rather put on footy pjs and veg out but it'll be good to get it done.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that's a tough call. If he's really not feeling well and not himself, I would say stay home. If it's just a runny nose then I'd say everyone is sick in the winter and bring tissues lol. Also depends on if your family is sensitive about that.

I've spent the last couple of evenings house shopping with my sister. It's been fun for me but I'm glad I'm not actually having to buy.

Tonight though I'm hoping to go on a date with DH, if we have a sitter. We really need to find an actual weeknight sitter instead of asking our parents all the time. It rarely works out and we end up going on a date every few months instead of as often as we'd like.

lilyelayne I usually take the boys if they are just snotty, but if they cough or have a fever I stay. Unless I don't want to go, then it's a good excuse.

mishka29 glad you are feeling better!
