We're barely hanging on.
I have been sick with bronchitis since last Tuesday.
I finally started to feel better...Saturday. I think.
Sunday, Steve woke up with a scratchy throat.
Fuck.
I knew it.
I knew I'd give it to him.
I mean, it's just impossible NOT to share germs with your spouse, amiright?
We sleep in the same bed.
If we're both home, we're usually in the same proximity (what can I say? we enjoy each other's company!)
Let's hope it doesn't hit him as hard as it hit me.
I even told him today "I'm kinda glad you got it...so you know how I really felt, like TOTAL SHIT"
Sometimes, I think he thinks I'm being dramatic.
But let's back up.
<side story>
This one time.
We went camping.
It was a terrible weekend for pollen.
And it rained.
The entire time.
I slept in a tent with no ventilation.
With two dogs.
I had a bad asthma attack.
I tried to tell Steve.
He told me "you sound fine"
I'll spare you the dramatics, but I went to the rink dink hospital, got treatment and got home.
I ended up at the big hospital at home and was admitted for 4 days and was out of work for almost 2 weeks.
That was the first time Steve really saw how severe my asthma can be.
ANYWAY.
Back to now - I'm hacking, coughing up phlegm (sorry, tmi) and literally heaving with each cough, I swear I've broken a rib.
My doc is awesome and called in a Z-Pak for me, since he knows me and knows my asthma (and family history).
But, this fucking bronchitis shit has me on my ASS.
I missed 3 days of work.
Steve's "lucky" in that he doesn't have to go back to work until Friday.
But, he also has a deck to build.
Delivery from Lowe's
That's a lot of wood!
Trex(r) decking
So we'll see. It's supposed to rain a bit here and there too, so maybe that'll give him the break he needs to get better.
Work has been incredibly busy too! I love it when it's busy. We're looking to hire someone for my team, so that's exciting. My company has been in a groove lately with some wins and I'm just glad to be a part of it.
I feel like summer just started, but I also feel like we're right in the middle of it.
We decided to get the girls (and Steve) season passes to a local waterpark. We're lucky that it's literally right in our little town, so about 12 minutes from our house. Since Steve is off fo much during the week, he's able to take them there and spend an hour or whatever, whenever they want. Versus, spending maybe $75 and feeling like you have to spend the ENTIRE day there to get your money's worth.
I plan on going too, at some point, but it's unlikely I'd go the 4 times needed to warrant a season pass for myself.
We're coming up on a holiday week here and I'm excited for my family's schedule this week. Steve's off, so he's home with the girls Monday - Thursday, then my office closes at noon Wednesday and I am off Thursday and Friday. The girls don't have to go daycare at all this week! Not only is that a few extra bucks in our wallets this month, they get to have sleepy mornings, bed head, swimming at 10am, jammies all day, etc. SUMMER. I love it.
Mila went to a sleepover! This is Pinky the Flamingo - made out of fondant!
Me and Ava just coloring and hanging out.
ALSO, my garden!
I've been so sick that I haven't been able to spend as much time out there as I've wanted to. Weeds were starting to take over, so Sunday when I was feeling a bit better, I went out there and pulled some big ones out.
My pepper!
Hungarian peppers (I think)
zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli?
Tomatoes and corn
