I don’t mean like perverted sick (well, maybe my hubby, but that’s not really appropriate here). I mean coughing, sneezing, sniffing sick. My poor, poor little girl has it the worst (although i think I’m running a close 2nd, since I’m sick and I have to take care of her at 4 in the AM). Kesara has this horrible cough, that sounds like a 20 year smokers cough. And it has been going on so long- and my main excuse for not posting more. Seems like every other night she is up between the precious hours of 2 and 4am- side note: there are an awful lot of commercials for penis enlarging pills on at that hour; what does that mean exactly?
So I haven’t had much sleep. And she is so unhappy about it all, that she won’t let me out of her sight. I’ve had to the doctors, and now she has a puffer to help… Please, to all the fates that be, let her get better so I can get some sleep and so she can got back to being my happy little girl again.
My other daughter is much more determined- she doesn’t want to admit she is sick. But she has always had an amazing constitution, despite her severe allergic (mental) reaction to vitamins and minerals found in vegetables.
I have managed to do a bit of knitting, but I don’t have a picture yet- I’ll have it tomorrow. I’m making a double knit skull scarf for my teenage nephew. He may not ever where it- he is a teenager, after all- but i think he’ll like it anyhow, and my sister will love borrowing it from him.
But I do have a picture- my husband happened upon a sweater I had started YEARS ago for a friends daughter, that I finished up about a year ago and hoped to give to Kes. But she’s so chubby, it was torture to leave it on her- I’m so sad in some ways, because my friends daughter would have loved it. It is the singular most expensive project I’ve ever done, since it has 3 different yarns in it- I don’t remember the brand, but one had a lot of stretch, and one was a metalic thread, so they were expensive to begin with. So now I have this extravagant sweater and no one to give it to. I made the pattern myself too, although I’ve since lost it (thats so typical of me!). I hope you like it:
The thing in the middle is a heart- it looks better in person.
Get well soon!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw…sorry to hear you are all sick. My little one started the coughing the other day, and she is prone to having simple little coughs turn in to so much more, so I am really hoping I can catch this in time.
As for the side note, I wondered this myself last year while dealing with a chest infection in my daughter, and I am fairly certain that the corporate world believes if you are up at that hour, and not making whoopie, the problem lies in the size of your unit. Whether this theory is right or not, I am not sure, but that is my story, and I am sticking with it.
Hope you get better soon, darling…all of you (p.s. have you tried putting a pillow under the sheets of your daughter’s bed, so that she is slightly elevated? it helps a little with my little one…well, that and a pound and a half of vick’s vapo-rub)
Oh I hope you’re all feeling better now. No wonder you’ve been getting “uppy!” a lot from your toddler. We’re all sick here, too, but at least mine are mostly sleeping through the night, so not terribly sick, but moms never get a day off, do they? (Jen – came here from Ravelry)
