Still Sick

Well, we're all still sick around here. Jason is even home from work today. He seems the sickest of all of us but he was remarking how it's nice that we're all sick together and can be sympathetic of each other while we lay around. I agree, I guess. My throat is much worse today but that's really the worst of what I'm dealing with. Easton slept well last night despite all the stuffiness. I am SO glad about that 'cause it meant I could sleep better too. Here is a video of Easton, you can hear just how congested he is. Funny.

Okay, so as I was mid-blog yesterday E did his mere half hour nap. I knew that wasn't enough so I "made" him take a second one. I was exhausted myself and wanted to snooze as well. I started him off in his crib but he got really mad after awhile so then I brought him into bed with me. I used to relish napping with my snuggly boy. Not anymore. Well, if he'd sleep I might still like it. Instead I brought him in with me and he was laying next to me on my pillow. I kept my eyes closed pretending to be asleep myself but he kept sticking his fingers into my eyelids. When I got him to stop that he moved on to squeezing my schnoz and telling me, "nuuuuu" (E speak for nose). Later he moved on to playing with my hair, so while it starts off as sweet as it sounds it usually ends in a painful yank. Eventually he gave up on laying down all together and tried climbing our iron "headboard". He got stuck back in his own bed after all that. Not cool. I had to go in and rub his little head again till he fell asleep then I was free to take my own nap. Ahhhh. Jason had to wake us both up at 5. Whoa.

Well, today Easton pulled another half hour nap and that was it. I tried and tried to get him to go back down but he wasn't having any of it. I don't know why I continue to find it so frustrating but I do. I need to get over it.

With everyone feeling crappy around here we've been treating ourselves to dinner out. Last night we went out for BBQ where Easton flirted so shamelessly with a woman at a nearby booth. It was pretty cute. Except for the hacking wet cough and snot face. The woman didn't seem to mind. But, Easton didn't like us cramping his style when we'd make him get his face wiped. Sorry, bud, but no one likes a slimy moustache. Anyway, that was last night, tonight I ran to Fuddrucker's for take-out. Yum. It's been really nice not having to cook. Or clean up.

Hopefully we'll be doing better tomorrow. I think we're planning on skipping Circle Time. Jason is going to try really hard to go in to work for at least part of the day. I don't have a choice but to keep being a mommy, sick or not. Good thing I don't feel all that bad. I can still function even if I'm being a little lazier than normal. Easton is being such a good sport about it all. He sits and happily watches TV show after TV show with us, occasionally he'll get up to play with something or other or he comes over to cuddle briefly. No wonder he only needs a half an hour nap, he's not doing anything to tire himself. Although he did get his first black eye today from hitting the edge of the coffee table on his way off the couch. Ouch. I don't know how well you'll be able to see the shiner in this picture. It's his left eye and the bruise is on the upper edge of the cheek bone. He also has a bruise on his forehead on that side (bonking the floor for fun) and his cheek on that side (no clue what that's from).
Well, it's getting to be bedtime again. I should wrap this up for now. Adios!
