I hate summer colds!

I should know better . . . Valen started pre-school on Wednesday, Sept 3rd, by Sunday he had a cold and since I had spent the day trying to get a family photo so he would have one for his class room, I had it by Tuesday night. Now of course he was over it in a few days no worse for wear - not so true for me. Wednesday I knew I was going down for the count and worked late anyway, Thursday and Friday were spent home in bed (thankfully I work from home on Fridays anyway)! I never even got out of bed Thursday! Had a regular doctor appointment on Friday afternoon and he gave me a prescription for antibiotics in case it was not better by Sunday. Friday night ended up being the worst of it - I did not sleep at all, up every couple of hours with that horrible post-nasal drip cough that feels like you are hacking up a lung! Drugs were not even working at that point. Saturday I went and stocked up on all new over-the-counter drugs and finally slept a solid seven hours Saturday night! Woke up this morning feeling at least human again - which meant I could run all my errands, do laundry and go to a Scrapbook class which I signed up for over a month ago!
My scrapbook class was a Halloween project, great way to salvage my almost completely lost weekend.
Also received some good news - Eric, Kisha and the kids are coming down for Thanksgiving! Kisha has already informed me I need to be up and out the door for the Christmas sales the day after Thanksgiving. I can't imagine I could actually get up @ 3:30 am for any other reason than to shop! Only two months away . . . where has this year gone?
