puzzling...

Monday, November 12, 2007

Both of the kids have been sick since Friday, both with wheezy croupy hacking coughs, headaches and fevers. I kept them home again today, as the coughing has been the worst at night and they don't get any sleep and subsequently, neither do I. I was optimistic yesterday that they were much improved but once bedtime hit... it was not good. Needless to say it was a rough night. So, I called in to my boss early in the morning once I realized they were not better and it wouldn't be fair to subject the other kids at daycare to the coughing, not to mention the incessant whining due to 48 hours of interrupted sleep.
I am happy to report that from about 430am to 8am they both slept well, with only a few short coughing fits. I didn't even have to get out of bed to soothe anyone or fetch a fresh water cup. It was good.
Both kids actually took naps today ( I attempted over the weekend but they didn't go well due to the coughing and whining.).
By this evening cabin fever had set in and we were all tired of watching Disney movies and reading books and coloring. So we broke out the puzzles. We did about 4 of them tonight, most of them with little to no assistance from me.
Above are the two puzzles I didn't help with at all. They are so smart!

I am ready to get out of the house, and actually ready to get back to work. It's been a LOOOOONG 3 days, let me tell ya.
Ready to converse with adults again. Oh yes.
