Sunday October 23, 2005
Well, Sunday is not making me terribly hopeful for a calm week. Zach woke up with a sore throat. A few hours later I noticed Zane seemed to be a bit sniffily. Zane’s symptoms have increased to definite stuffy nose, watery eyes that are looking sort of sunken, cranky attitude, and he makes a lot of noise when he breathes and sounds congested. Within the last hour, he has started coughing a bit here and there. My poor guys.
Now, I am starting to notice a scratchy throat myself. Oh joy! I did a load of laundry on hot & then Zach ran a hot steamy shower with the door open to try and force some moisture in the air. I am getting ready to put a pot of boiling water on the stove. I am hoping that our symptoms are just because the air is dry, but I think it might just be denial at this point. lol.
Right now Zach has Zane all curled up on his lap with a blanket over him, playing a video game that has Zane giggling like crazy, so it is a really sweet scene.
I have no idea what to make for supper now. I was going to do biscuits and gravy and make some pudding, but both are dairy intensive…not good for congestion. Maybe we will have chicken noodle soup like we did last night instead. I don’t feel like making it from scratch again, but I think there are some cans of it back in the pantry someplace.
We don’t usually put the heater on until it starts staying in the mid-30s outside, but if everybody is getting sick, it might go on early this year. Guess we will see how cold it gets in here and how icky we all feel.
