It never ends..
Posted on: March 29, 2014
M is just finishing another round of germs. This time, it was congestion and an ear infection.
This year is just the year of sickies.
It seems like she’s been battling a cold every month or so since November of last year!
It also always seems like she just get can’t get a simple cold.
They always follow this pattern. She gets super congested, then she coughs. The cough may or may not lead to asthma symptoms. She may or may not end up with an ear infection.
It’s only March and I’ve taken so many days off to be “nurse mommy.”
She needs to live in a bubble..

Yes. I have been off the blog for a few days.
Toddler germs are really potent.
I caught whatever M was dealing with.
M has gotten over it quite quickly.
What ever she was dealing with absolutely floored me! There weren’t enough steam baths, decongestants, tissues and hot tea in the world that was going to make me better. Seriously.
I was so stuffed up one night that I was so absolutely miserable and angry at the world.
I just couldn’t stop complaining and ranting and sulking and just being absolutely miserable just because I couldn’t breathe through my nose.
A little melodramatic, I know.. but I couldn’t help it.
My poor M, because she wanted to be with me at all times, she had to hear about how miserable I was. I’d lie there and she’d look at me.. and I’d just pour my frustrated heart out to her.
And if you’re wondering, no, I never blamed her for my cold. It’s not like she gave it to me on purpose. It’s not her fault.
Luckily, the severe congestion only lasted one night. I’m still battling congestion, but it’s not as bad as that one sad night. The cold seems to be lingering for me, while M is pretty much on the mend.
I hope this cold won’t be too bad during Thanksgiving, I’d love to have some sense of taste back when I eat some yummy Thanksgiving food..
