On Tuesday, I had a doctor's appointment. I was pretty sure I'd developed a fun case of MRSA up in my nostrils. You don't screw around with MRSA so I made an appointment when I woke up. Treatment is easy enough, topical and oral antibiotics. Plus, if there is anything bacterial going on with this cold/upper respiratory infection, the antibiotics will wipe it out. The cough still remains, at times making me feel like I'm gasping for breath, but I'm finally starting to feel better.
Adam was off on Wednesday, of course, for the fourth of July. The house had become rather messy in the previous week and a half due to everyone being sick, so we finally got a lot of cleaning down around the house. It was desperately needed. We're still not quite done, but it's a vast improvement. I'll get the rest done next week when Adam goes back to work.
We did go see fireworks on Wednesday evening. I decided that of all the area fireworks displays, the one in Pinehurst might be the least crowded. It was really nice. The fireworks lasted nearly 45 minutes, probably the longest display I've ever seen. :) Zander has some noise sensitivity so we brought along a pair of noise reducing headphones. He also thought the fireworks were too bright (which they were, some of them were too bright for me as well and I had to look away)...because he also has some light sensitivity so he kept his eyes closed. All that led up to Zander falling asleep *during* the fireworks. The funny thing is, so did Jaxon. He started screaming at the first firework so I held him and covered his ears. I also grabbed Adam's hat and covered up part of his face....so that's when he decided to just take a nap. :)
Yesterday was a long awaited day. Since most of my chores had been done I could finally spend some time working on my long list of crafts. Since Adam was home, he'd be able to help distract the boys. :) I didn't get as much done as I wanted to (I always underestimate the time needed to complete something) but the good news is I actually did finish a project. From start to finish, I made two fabric travel high chairs for Sophia and Sawyer. They aren't perfect, straight, worthy of selling, etc. etc. but they are pretty cute and despite crooked lines will work just fine for my girls. :) I also started their owl toys, but didn't quite get those finished.
I'm working on Marble Mazes for the boys travel bags for vacation and they are just as easy to whip up as the original poster said they would be. :) I only finished one, but I'm hoping to get them done sometime soon. I've also been working on the rest of their travel activities. I'll have a big post of what all is going in everyone's travel bags by next weekend, I hope. I have to get them finished up so I can send my nephews' bags up to Ohio. I want them to have their travel activities to enjoy on the way to vacation as well as on the way home. :)
Ok, we're in desperate need of groceries as everyone's been sick and gross lately and I haven't been to the store. So today is the day I promised them food. Then this afternoon, we're going to see a movie before we have to go shoe shopping. :)
