Quick peek

Here’s a peek into our house during the last two weeks:
The centerpiece of the kitchen table is a box of Kleenex (which changes daily)
The hum of humidifiers lulls us all to sleep (if only momentarily)
The kitchen counter resembles a start-up pharmacy
The mayoclinic.com is my most visited site of the week
The parents are playing musical beds taking care of whomever is sickest
Slippers and blankets are set by the back porch door for multiple nightly croup-calming outings
…And we are all exhausted

Ok, both kids have battled croup and upper respiratory infections, and that is all I can say about the last two weeks here. Little else has been accomplished.

In fact, our box of veggies arrived today. I stared at it with dread for a while this afternoon. Too tired to sort and store. I checked outside – cold enough – out goes the box onto the porch until I have the energy to deal with it!

Oh, and we missed out on our scheduled flu shots last week because we were too sick to get them! Ironic, huh? Need to reschedule!

Here’s to hoping you are healthier than we! Winter has arrived at the Burkhart household.
