Writers Block

Apparently I have had nothing insightful to say since my last blog, December 30, 2010. I always think of things I would like to write about in my blog, but when the time comes to put my thoughts out there, I can never organize them in a way that people reading would understand. ...  ...  Even now I struggle to come up with anything worthwhile to type.  I suppose it's a good thing I don't try to advertise on my blog. 


I have had a little bit of the winter madness, or whatever they are calling it now. There are a couple of reasons. The first is the snow...winter weather in general  It's all nice and dandy around Christmas time, but now that it's mid-January, it can melt already. There is nothing I can do outside with a baby when it is so dang cold outside. So this leaves us both cooped up in the house all day every day.  It's a sad, sad world when I actually look forward to going to work because that means I can get out of the house. Work is usually my only connection to the outside world. And most of the time I am okay with that, when I have other things to do such as taking going outside.


Another thing that has me in a funk is the sickness that seems to be lurking around my house. It seems like it keeps coming back. Alex is sick one week, then I have it. Last week Keagan had a runny nose, and this week he has a pretty bad cold. It really has me on edge. And I feel so bad for him. I can remember being sick when I was younger. I got croup a lot when I was younger and I remember feeling so miserable. Keagan doesn't have croup, luckily, but he does have a cough and he is pretty congested. It makes me feel bad when there is nothing I can really do to help..and the things I can do to help, like sticking the nose aspirator up his nose to suck out the snot, only make him more miserable. I worry he will get RSV or whooping cough, both of which can be deadly to a baby his age. So I broke down and took him to the doctor today just to make sure, and what did they tell me you ask? "He has a cold" Thank you, Doctor.  Although I felt a little silly making a trip to the doctor for a cold, I was relieved when that's what the doctor said.  (right now I feel like I am singing that song about the monkeys jumping on the bed.."Mama called the doctor and the doctor said..." Like I said, I've been having a hard time finding worthwhile things to write about)


...La-tee-dah...


So tonight I will watch a movie, eat some popcorn and attempt to get more than 3 hours of sleep. We shall see how that goes.
