| The grandparents' surprise |
This
weekend we got to have family time. And family time is always good!
Anybody who has kids understands that it
is important to keep them stimulated. One way to do that is find out about
interesting events going on and attend those that make sense. This weekend I
struggled to find events for the kids because I have been under the weather. And, has been the case for the past four
months I have been largely parenting solo.
Saturday was particularly challenging
because I have had an intense cough for over a week. It’s been the kind of cough that literally
shakes me to my core and had one colleague ask “Do you have Ebola?” after I had a
coughing fit in a meeting. Her comment was
crude and inappropriate to be sure, but the fact remains, my coughing has been
out of control!
The result of all of this coughing has been bruised ribs and
muscle spasms.
So, on Saturday, the toddler went to her
grandparents’ house. It was a win/win.
They were glad to have her. She was glad to be
the center of attention. Shamefully, I
was delighted to have one less child for the day.
On Sunday, I was feeling a little better
so we hung out and cleaned up.

Eventually we ventured to The Children’s Museum.
We are there so often that it feels like home.

We had lunch, played in the exhibits and then
came home.
We settled in for a long
summer nap. We must have all needed it
because we were asleep for four hours!
Hopefully, I shake this cough soon. In the meantime, send me your best cough
remedies!
