Lingering Illnesses

13 things that testify to the fact that you have had illness in your home for the last 6 weeks.

You are popping Vitamin C like candy.
You have considered buying stock in Motrin and Tylenol.
You wonder if you will see the day when you wear something other than pajamas.
You new perfume smells strangely like Lysol.
You are more familiar with your bathroom than you would care to admit.
You begin to come face to face with the fact that even with an empty bladder you can cough and sneeze hard enough to wet your pants.
Even though it makes a great drawer or trunk liner you wonder why God EVER saw fit to create cedar. (severe allergies)
Your children cry at the site of the nebulizer. (breathing treatments)
Mom and baby make a perfect fit; baby has a high fever and mom has the chills, so mom cools baby with cold hands and baby warms mom up.
If you ask where did your fever go the answer is higher and higher.
You have a funny crick in your neck from holding your head at an angle to allow for your ear to drain but also to try and keep your nose from running!
You hand out medication in an assembly line fashion.
You didn't know your children's little bodies could hold so much air.

Thankfully we are on the mend now, not 100% but getting there. Thank you to all who have prayed for us these past several weeks!

I had to lol at most of these because it sounds very familiar - especially about the side effects of coughing :-). Happy TT and thanks for stopping by. Hope you get to feeling better!
