So I’m definitely not all better yet, but today has been better than yesterday! The night was smoother than the one before, with fewer wake ups and fewer coughing fits. I can’t recall having a cold where I’ve woken up in mid-coughing fit, but that has been the case this time around and YIKES I am not a fan of that!! Waking up gagging my throat to pieces is just so painful and disruptive, and then to try to get back to sleep afterwards is so frustrating. But I can happily say that I woke this morning because of a full bladder, not a coughing fit. So thats a win for me!!
Once again, Brady was in town, and was able to take Dekker to school and Laela to preschool before heading to work. My mom lovingly offered to come over so I could pick Laela up without taking the little boys with me. It was the first time I’ve poked my head outside in a few days and I honestly didn’t mind it. Hopefully this is the strong solid upswing I’ve been wanting, and from here on out, things will just be better and better 🙂 I miss fresh air, and I know the kids do, too. Maybe soon all (or even most) of us will be healthy, and able to be outside a little bit more. I think we’d all like that.
I took a load off while the three kids napped, and Brady finished work early and was able to pick Dekker up from school. Its been a relaxed day, and I’m so thankful to be feeling even just a little bit better. No more excuses, Hailey! There are very few days left to finish up out to-do list before Christmas! Its less than ONE WEEK away!!
