There was no escaping it

On Facebook, on the street, at schools, in families, and with my own kids, something is going around. Luckily we haven't got the worst of it, I heard there is a stomach virus, and cold and flu that really knock people out.  My kids inherited their throats from me, as soon as it gets cold and dry, the dry cough begins.  We eat chicken soup, we drink hot tea, I have a homeopathic cough medicine, chestal by boiron, that I love for the kids.  We even have a humidifier, so luckily they are all functional, but not 100%.  What happens to me, they cough on me, they sneeze on me, I am constantly wiping noses, plus I work in a school and am always in contact with people.







I thought I got the usual, a chest cold, but lucky me for the second time in my life I got a sinus cold.  I am blessed not to get headaches, so now I know what it is, the last one I had was WORSE THAN LABOR, no exaggeration.  We had to fly to visit family and I literally felt that my head was going to explode with nowhere to run.  Steam showers help, medicine helps, but ultimately like everything else, it has to run its course.

Yesterday a friend of mine said I sounded nasally and also reminded me that I work with kids in a school, that is when I realized it was sinuses, along with a dry cough.

Thank God it is not any worse than that for me and my family, so we continue with our schedule, washing hands, drinking tea, and looking forward to a good nights sleep to help the healing.  I always tell my kids, my older two, that I am so proud of how they sleep, everything gets better when they sleep, and they are happy that they are good sleepers.  My baby is getting the hang of it, and I am looking forward to the day when all of us can have a full nights sleep with no interruptions.  My older two sleep through everything, I wish I had that luxury, I am a deep sleeper, but I cannot ignore my baby learning to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, or coming to my room, last night I just put him in bed with me, had no energy to do anything else, luckily he fell asleep for the night.
