Home Bound

It's no secret that I love being home. Love to stay in my pj's. Love to not feel rushed. Love to accomplish cleaning or cooking in my home. etc. I Do NOT love to be home and be sick. And that's what it's been like here lately. Poor Hannah woke Sunday morning with a fever and HUGE tonsils. Again.
She's been home with me the last two days from school as well. I really like having her here. She's such a good helper and plays with her siblings. I've been so grateful for that since I too am sick. Head cold to the 9th degree. I'm walking around these days with tissues in every pocket, hair a complete mess, slippers on, lots of herbal tea, and my humidifier going non stop in my bedroom. So far, it's not working, but somehow it mentally makes me believe I'm getting better. Feast your eyes on this beauty.

 If a head cold isn't bad enough, I've been suffering from insomnia. These two combinations have not been a good thing for me, or any of us in our house. When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Unisom has saved my life the last two nights. I am so grateful. At least I'm no longer walking around with a pounding headache from the lack of sleep. I will push forward through this darn head cold.

Hannah has been to see an Ears, Nose, and Throat doctor and has a scheduled appointment to have her tonsils removed soon. She however did not have strep, just outrageously large tonsils. So, she is happy to go back to school today, mainly because she lost her first tooth last night. It's been loose for a few days and last night she just pulled it out all by herself and came running in to show me. I missed her pulling it out. She didn't even know her mouth was full of blood. She's waited a long time for this special day and was so excited it finally had come. She looks pretty cute sticking her tongue through that hole. Goodbye all baby teeth smile that I adore. Let the awkward years begin.
