Back To Normal?

Today we resumed a bit of normalcy here in Toddsville. Since both children have been sick over the past few days, I have not been getting enough sleep. Last night I finally got some good sleep. Yes, sweet slumber, thank God.

I woke up this morning feeling renewed and ready to get back to living. Yes, it was that bad these last few days. Arjay's fever turned out to just be from teething but that made him very fussy. Adryana had some severe problems with her seasonal allergies. We are not sure yet what is causing her allergies, allergy testing did not find anything abnormal. We know that it only happen in Spring and it's worse when she goes outside. We figure it's from a tree just not sure which one yet. She's been taking Claritin OTC (obviously it's not working). She's on some prescription meds right now to help her get over the congestion she has with the allergies. After this we are going to try Zyrtec (we heard it's pretty good and it's OTC now).

Adryana has been really miserable along with Arjay so it was no fun in this house. To say I was overwhelmed and exhausted would be an understatement. I was so exhausted that I was also emotional. Yesterday when I woke up to Arjay's screaming that really pushed me over the edge. I was near tears when Greg walked in the house (he was out running). I did not want to get out of bed. My body was aching, I had a headache that would not go away for 3 days. Greg felt sorry for me and agreed to give me a back and neck massage. That really helped. I'm happy that the kids are feeling better today and so am I.


Today I was able to get some house cleaning done and I'm really happy about that. I love a clean house and I love to clean. I really cannot stand mess. Our area rug in the living room was covered in Cheerios and lots of toys. It's nice to see the design of the rug again. I also cleaned the bathrooms and finish the laundry that I had started a few days ago and never finished.

It's a good feeling to feel like things are returning to normal.
