February is not my month, you guys. I mean February is trying to kick my ass straight to the curb you guys. First, it’s February! I mean, look at its spelling! Of course it’s pissed off and trying to drag us all down with it. FEB-ROO-ARY. Don’t lie, that’s how you say it in your head every time you write it out. But then, it has one measly Hallmark-manufactured holiday to call its own. And once that’s over, there’s nothing redeeming about it. Nothing! It’s like winter’s last pathetic stronghold before we DEAR GOD PLEASE begin seeing the signs of spring that March ushers in. February sucks. It just does.
But then! But thennnn. This February is actually trying to kill me. Colds, and coughs, and sore throats, and snow, and snow days on top of snow days! (It is soooo much less snow than this time last year, so my drama seems misplaced, no? I’m aware.) I’m tired of February days before I even sit up out of bed! I’m like encouraging my children to watch another Daniel Tiger when they’re like, “Please Mom! No more Daniel Tiger!” “ANOTHER DANIEL TIGER OR ELSE KIDS UGGA MUGGA.”
February. You’re the worst. What’s redeeming though: I am getting better (you’re probably starting to wonder, “gosh, was she really sick? what was it? what’s the prognosis? sure hope she’s gonna be okay!” …..mmm… just a cold.) Pounding Congaplex, tea, Vitamin C, the whole nine yards. And my nose, my poor nose. If I blow one more time, I swear it may actually shrivel up and fall off. Anders, the poor little guy, had a cough that kept us both up at various points in the night, and he hated it, I could tell, and I hated it for him. Babies shouldn’t be able to get colds, amen? Also redeeming: aside from the snow (which isn’t really so bad unless you’ve got a cold and thus are housebound) is the weather! I went for a long walk with the boys on Sunday and I think it was nearly 50 degrees! I was hot! (I was wearing my ridiculous parka, but nevertheless my point remains.)
Oh, and it is Valentine’s Day soon which isn’t terrible. I’ve got a couple cute Valentine’s around this house. Some chocolates already stowed away for William and Lindsey and then I think I’ll make some chocolate covered strawberries with Parker. We’ve sent Valentine’s cards (on time!) and I’ve even put up a decoration! That… keeps falling down because I’ve only secured it with washi tape.
But still, I’m sticking with it. February is not my month.
Hope you feel better soon! I know how you feel – I had a fever one weekend and then the next my one year old had it…which led to a week of being worried about him and simultaneously going mad with the whining!
So glad you mentioned colds- what do you give Anders for a runny nose? My little boy woke up under the weather and with a non-stop running nose and I'm not sure how to get it dried up- Doctors are way to anit-biotic happy for my liking.My kiddo eats super healthy all home made food but maybe there is something I can add to his diet to help with the runny noses he gets now and then? (is it just teething? he popped to teeth about 2 weeks ago) sorry, first time mom.
I mostly do a lot of nursing — and this time I actually opened a capsule of Congaplex and gave it to him with apple sauce. He willingly took it! (Note–I've been taking Congaplex as a supplement when sick since I was very young, so I'm totally comfortable with it/giving it to my children!)
Great thank you, I'll see if we get that here. I gave him medicine the chemist gave me last night and it worked but the poor kid looked drunk which I'm not stoked about.
Is it weird to say I love this hatred of February? I agree though – nothing redeeming!
Nothing!
Thank you once again for making me laugh! Sick kids and snow and being stuck inside and a husband out of town! Over it!
so over it! (husband out of town?! noo!!!)
At least its a short month, right!? Feel better!!
I'm so glad someone else does that when they write February! I do the same thing with Wed-Nes-Day. 🙂
AMEN! I work in an elementary school, FebROOary is not anyone's month. Too much inside and too much sick. March and the heat wave that I demand comes with it needs to hurry up!
Hope you and the kids feel better! Hang in there! February is a short month 🙂
It's the month I start boo hooing on winter too. It's just that month when winter lingers and you're just ready for it to be over with.
Hope you and the kids feel better, too. You never realize how much being sick takes it out of you until that nasty cold develops.
Anders double chin in the first pic is the cutest thing ever.
I feel ya… The four of us have been sick off & on for the past 3 weeks straight. We're starting to come out of it – but its been so stressful, nothing worse than a sick 4 month old too 🙁 🙁
