Happy ST Patricks Day

Today started off pretty well. I am still sick and did not sleep well. I was wondering what will I do with Allison today. This morning we made a shake together. Too bad it wasn't green. I then asked Allison is she wanted to paint. I usually strip her down for painting but she was already stripped down due to a wet diaper i proceeded to get the paint out. It was a fun time. I think Allison's hands started to turn green. After that we took a quick bath. Yep it was quick because since Allison got the rodavirus a while back she has not wanted to take baths. She cried the whole time. I was even in the bath with her. After bath we decided to get the play-doah out. It was a fun morning until we had to go to the visit Dr Blume. Actually Allison enjoys visiting the Dr's office. She lets Dr Blume look in her ears, throat and nose. She never cries and Dr Blume says most kids her age cry the whole time. This time going to the Dr was for Mommy. Allison smiled the whole time while Dr Blume checked my throat, lungs, ears and nose. Once again I caught something from either Allison or other kids I am around. I have congestion on my left side ear and nose. I have a little bit of crud in my left lung. I asked the Dr. is this normal for a mom to get so sick in a the past 4 months. He said it is normal because my immune system is not used to all the germs I come in contact with. I will say it has not been a fun year at home with all of us sick. I am looking forward to spring and summer. OK, off to inhaling my inhaler and then a long nap. Have a HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY. REMEMBER, only those who are Irish should ware green or you will get pinched.
