I cant believe that it has almost been three weeks since my last Blog. The first week of not blogging was March Break....enough said!!! Every night...Katie would ask, "do I go to school tomorrow, is March Break over?" I would tell her "no...March break is a week, the school is closed!" And she would roll over and sob on her pillow...she wanted desperately to go to school. Josh on the other hand, didn't want school ever again!! But it was during that week I got sick...some kind of nasty congestion and slight temperature and just feeling blaa!! When Alex went down for a nap, I let the other two watch movies/play games and I napped. That's how icky I was. It was also during this time that we had LOVELY mild temperatures!! I was sooo glad for Spring weather but hated that I was too ill to enjoy it all.
The second week was back to school....(YIPPIE)....but I was still too tired and felt out of breathe from walking to school...finally I went to the Doctors. Now if it was my kids...BOOM...there would be no question, I would make the trek to the Family Doctor, but its an hour drive(one way) and I just put it off...thinking, it will go away...whatever this is! Right!? Then I tried to go to a walk in clinic....there are only 4 CLINICS in my town! Various hours and long lines....and the one place the Doctor wasn't showing up till later in the day...and that's if he could!!! I finally called my Family Doctor and they squeezed me in!! I got there and had to wear a mask...NICE...didn't I feel GOOD and not plagued by something! Turns out, Bronchi infection. Even now, after a week from visiting the Doctor...I still have the nagging cough...but now I am taking over the counter meds(to bring up the gunk...so to speak...and its working...but some is still there)!! But I am getting better!
Also with this WARM WEATHER we had.....I tried to be out in it as much as I could and do as much as I could...cleaning up the garden, bringing out the lights, little fences...trying to get ready for Spring!! It was exciting to see the SNOW melt and disappear as if it never existed. Tulips and Spring flowers started to peak through. Some perennials started to wake up and buds started to open on trees. I threw snow boots out(they there worn and cracked). Windows were open, kids wore shorts and jackets were not needed by the end of the school day. All the while in the back of my head was the nagging thought...its ONLY MARCH and YOU LIVE IN CANADA and SLIGHTLY up NORTH!!! And true to thought.....yesterday was CHILLY and the WINTER COATS came back out(after I cleaned them and tucked them away for another winter). So its chilly again...but not to the point where that white stuff will make a reprise. And cause of the mild temps...allergies have stormed in, like an unwanted guest at a party. So not only an infection...but add allergies and things are AWESOME! LOL!
So....as some have wondered what happened to me....that's basically it!! There was a lack of energy to do anything and then when things got slightly better...the WEATHER surprised us all...and I want nothing more than to hide all aspects of ol' man Winter and get ready to WELCOME SPRING!! So I am back....still looking at Kijiji, baking and cooking...helping the kids with homework...getting to ready for my Father's wedding(which is this Saturday...and still no clothes that I have ordered on line have arrived...even though they should have yesterday...but I am not worried yet...I'll wait till Friday night...yes, I procrastinate) and then its Easter...and a few birthdays in between. And there are still thoughts/dreams of PEI this Summer!!
So I am back and ready to BLOG about Motherhood and Everything Else!!
