Life

It has been a tough week or so. Two weekends ago, I came down with a bad sore throat which lasted a couple of days and then went away but the cold is still hanging on. Last Friday, Ben came down with it and every night since then he has been up at night coughing and crying. We are using a decongestant and expectorant, a humidifier, and saline drops. We have propped his bed up and given him an extra pillow. I am pushing fluids. Nothing seems to be helping. We have used benadryl at night, but it doesn't seem to help. I am a tired mama. I feel like we have a new born in the house again. Everyone else but Mark has come down with it too, although thankfully, no one as bad as Benjamin. We are trying to keep up with normal life. School is happening even if not as well as I would like and the boys and unfortunately mom are a little more irritable than normal. It is amazing how a lack of sleep affects all of us. It is starting to warm up around here. The snow is slowly disappearing. My heart is so ready for spring, and for sunshine. This weekend I am heading off to a pastor's wives retreat. I am hoping to get some rest there. I came away from last years retreat really refreshed. I am hoping that Paul will do ok with the boys while I am gone and that they can get some rest as well. |
