it actually began as croup, with a fever, barking cough, and body rash. phoenix, tyler, and elijah had it for about five days. however, when it got to me, i got a fever, barking cough, and lost my voice. then, that turned into a enormous head cold; more fever, chills, stuffy nose, coughing, and pure exhaustion. then just when i felt like i might be getting better, i got an upset stomach and spent an entire night in the bathroom. and if that wasn't bad enough, in the midst of it all, elijah got sick one morning and vomited ALL OVER ME.
so here i am almost 2 weeks later, still blowing my nose and coughing up nastiness from my lungs and feeling exhausted like a chain smoker running marathons. but i am definitely feeling better.
on wednesday, i actually forced myself to do more than leave the house to pick up the kids from school and ventured out to the park for some fresh air.
although it was actually a pretty hot afternoon, the mornings have been really cool around here and we are definitely starting to see all the signs of fall. yesterday it didn't get past 65 degrees all day.
i love summer, but this year i am ready for fall. we have had so many stumbles and roadblocks the last few months, so i am ready for a fresh start.
have a great saturday!
