Okay, so I have been feeling rather bad off and on for a couple of months now.  Just get to feeling better and some bug hits again.  First time around was the first vacation my husband had had in months (Christmas) and he took care of the kids and house while I was extremely sick.  Over the past 2 months, he has made dinner for the kids quite often, cooked for himself, cooked for me if I wanted him to, done laundry, dishes, and whatever else he noticed I was getting behind on, all without my asking. 

The past week or so, he has been sick with a terrible cold, but has still done his job, working 60 - 80 hours a week and still tried to spend as much time with the kids as he can.  This week I caught the cold and have had a terrible sinus headache for days.  Yesterday when he called before heading home he could tell I could barely breathe through my nose.  He stopped on his way home to get me a neti pot.  He even knew which store had them. 

I must say, I still have the headache, but after using the neti pot, I can actually breathe without a lot of discomfort.  Takes some getting used to, but once I figured out the right angle, it worked pretty well.  It’s a weird sensation, but worth it.

Ever since I started getting this cold, I have been giving the kids Airbourne and they aren’t getting sick.  I’m rather amazed.  They typically catch everything.  Now I will be getting some for myself, though I’m sure the Pixie Sticks version the kids have tastes much better.  It’s expensive, but no more so than the cold meds and Motrin that I have to use just to have them be able to sleep for a few hours if they get sick.  I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.

Have a good Wednesday, everyone!
