february nine

Holy moly I feel like crap today. I hate being sick. Dang cold. I hate winter. I only get sick like this in the winter (of course). This morning my mom came to watch the boys in the morning so that I could run an errand. I probably shouldn't have left the house. But I needed some groceries, as there was nothing in the house for dinner tonight, if I didn't go out. (Well, I could have put something together, from frozen, but that wasn't the plan for today).

Sean's cough is getting better. Mack's coughing a bit though now too. (Dang!) We skipped Mack's class at the Y today because Sean is home from daycare sick. I also didn't go to playgroup today, and I really am upset that I didn't get to go today. It was at one of my friend's houses today, and I really wanted to go. Though, I shouldn't expose other kids to our germs, and Sean was home from daycare. Oh well, next week.

My nose officially looks like Rudolph the red nose reindeer... and it's raw and it's sore and it hurts. Oh, once agian, I really hate this time of the year. I want to fast forward to not being sick anymore. I should buy a share in kleenex - that's how many I'm going through! Chasing after Sean with kleenex too is fun. He hates having his nose wiped... and Mack is following in the same footsteps. Hates it too. But probably can breathe a lot better after I clean theris noses, so I'm trying to explain that to at least Sean, so that he won't complain in the future.

This afternoon my sister came for a bit, to watch the boys (well, watch the house as the boys were both sleeping) so that I could run one more errand. Again, I shouldn't have left the house, but I had to go to the Pharmacy. Thank you Amy for coming to watch the boys this afternoon. (She got to knit and watch tv at my house!)

This evening Sean took interest in the potty. He asks to use it, but then just sits on it. I'm not sure if he just thinks it's a toy, or if he actually realizes it's to "go" in. Because lately, whenever he's on it, he doesn't actually go to the bathroom. Oh well, we're trying, and he's asking, so we'll see where that takes us. I just think it's too cute that he asks for the newspaper to read while on the potty. Funny boy.

Mack is now taking interest in my camera and I'm going to have to be careful with my lens! this picture was taken just before he swatted his hand on my camera! Daring little boy!

Daring little boy with growing hair! Look at the mohawk. I love it.

Tonight we decided to turn off the Habs game while it was in the middle of the game, we ended up getting slaughtered by Calagary 6-2. I don't know what happened tonight, but I'm ashamed of the team tonight. Really. 6-2. WHAT THE HECK!!! It was nasty to watch. We did watch Heroes after the boys went to bed, and we're going to keep tonight's episode of 24 for the next chill night we have together.

Tomorrow I've got a busy day, but I think I'm going to skip Mack's 9 am swim class, because of my cold. It's going away, but it's still there and I also don't want Mack to get worse sick than he already is. It's too bad he's missing another swim lesson, but hey, I'd rather him get rid of his cough, and I don't want being almost na.ked in my bathing suit in cold water to make my cold worse. If I'm feeling better by Wednesday, I'll go to my aqua class, but that's if my cold is better.

Alright, I should get a good night's sleep. Well, try anyhow. I can't really breathe through my nose, so sleeping is rather difficult when you can't breathe and you need to keep blowing your dripping nose. Not fun!
