Today, William, Keisha and I spent the day at my mom’s house. I started out the morning quite energetic at 7am. I washed a load of clothes, loaded the dishwasher and made a nice breakfast for the family. After about 10am it was downhill from there… I had several sneeze attacks and I could feel sinus pressure coming on. I should have known this was coming because the pattern is set. Sore throat first, then sneezing, runny nose, congestion and finally the coughing. Everytime the weather changes drastically, (it was 75 degrees yesterday and now it is about 30 degrees!!) my body is like… WTF.
My mom took care of the twins and I. As I suspected, William and Keisha did not want to take their regular nap in the morning once they arrived at Nana’s house. My mom made a great effort to get them asleep while she played a Baby Einstein DVD… but no results there. They had lunch at around 12:30pm and within an hour they reluctantly took a nap. Mama and I then ate a late lunch; she fixed a delicious fried chicken salad. As I stood up to go into the livingroom with my salad, Keisha woke up… and she was wet all over, but of course I didn’t realize this until after I picked her up and the entire left side of my t-shirt was wet. My lunch was slightly interrupted to say the least. As Keisha cried, she woke up her brother. I knew that was coming. Mama thought that she could get them back asleep… Nope. I went into the dining room to finish eating my lunch, then when I finished I switched places with Mama to watch the children while she ate.
Around 4:30pm, while the children were the kitchen with their Nana getting a snack, I dashed upstairs to take a nap. I had a nice nap… about two hours, before I woke up to turn on Extreme Home Makeover on ABC. I don’t regularly watch that show, but I find it compelling when I do happen to catch it on TV. During the rest of the evening, I struggled with the sinus pressure, sneezing and a runny nose.
While at home this evening, I decided to take two Wal-quil (*giggle) capsules. And then zzzZZzz.
