Who do we appreciate???  Not this @x%#! virus in my house!  I’ve been up with Esther every two hours since midnight – no baths this time.  Just constant coughing.  There’s really nothing I can do at this point other than let it run it’s course.  She has sinus drainage that accumulates while she sleeps, then she feels the need to try and cough to either get it out or clear her throat.  She starts to get upset because of the coughing, and then works herself up even more, so she starts coughing even more.  Very frustrating for both parties I’m sure.  And for myself, after waking up with her at 6am (we usually fall out of bed around 7) I could feel the throat thing.  You know, that one when you feel a cold coming on and there is a bit of throat irritation.  So, here I sit at the computer, while everyone else is nice and warm in their beds, because I have a Zicam bottle of nose spray/gel and I don’t remember the directions for use.  Got the directions, couldn’t resist the post (it’d end up here eventually), now I’m off to my warm bed for about 30 minutes until I need to get Abigail ready for school.  Sweet dreams…
