This day I love.......

This week can go down in history as the week with the lurgy.  

Sunday

I really was not feeling well but felt I could not let the charity down and so took part in my first ever 10K road race.  I completed the race in 1 hour and 5 minutes which given the course and my health I was pleased with.


Monday

After a trip to the Dr for some cough medicine and dosing up on paracetamol we headed to Scarborough to visit the penguins.  SeaLife Scarborough have just opened penguin island, if you love penguins you have to go.


Tuesday

As April approaches I start looking back through old photos of my sister.  I came across this one and was so surprised at how much the girls look like my sister.  She would have been the same age as my youngest here, and I the same as my eldest.


Wednesday

I set up an Easter theme challenge for the girls using their CleverStix.  The girls love Cleverstix and really enjoyed the challenge.  As soon as I feel better I shall be adding the video to YouTube.


Thursday

Wanting to make the most of the day with just my eldest we headed to the shopping centre.  She needed new shoes and of course she wanted to see Cinderella.  Apologies to everyone in the cinema for the coughing, sneezing and nose blowing.


Friday

The week took its toll on all of us.  I had planned to go out to Nostell Priory and take part in their egg hunt but I could not move and neither could the girls.  We all felt really poorly and so a day on the sofa it was.


Saturday

My eldest is feeling better and my youngest has turned a corner.  She is still poorly but no where near as bad.  I have developed a nasty ear ache, on top of the cough and runny nose.  Whilst everything hurts I had to take the girls out so they could enjoy some fresh air.  It would not have been fair on my eldest otherwise.  I feel shocking but both girls had a lovely day at Nostell Priory.

I feel like I owe everyone an apology at the moment and to be honest I am not sure where to begin.  Three weeks ago my eldest daughter started with the sniffles, she was OK but just needed extra TLC from her Mum.  To add to this the final date for my assignment was the 20th March.  I worked all hours to get it finished as it had to reach them by post on this date, which meant realistically it had to be done well before.  House work, blogging and life were put on hold to get a 4,000 word assignment on Digital marketing channels completed on time.  I cannot begin to explain the relief when I had a confirmation email saying the assignment had been received on time.

That weekend we packed up and went to Wales for a week.  Spending the week at Bluestones and to be honest, enjoying time with the girls.  The excitement meant the girls would not settle and my eldest started with a terrible cough.  The car journey home was horrendous and full of sick.  There were delays on the journey and we all returned home feeling, for want of a better word, Yak.

That night it seemed to hit us all.  We all have a terrible cough, a cough which hurts your chest and you loose your breath and seems to go on forever.  This cough is disturbing our sleep, there is at least one of us up coughing, or blowing our noses at all hours.  Our throats feel red raw, our bodies ache and we all seem to have lost the ability to regulate body temperature.  The girls temperatures are all over the place, night sweats and shaking it is horrible to watch and even more horrible to be experiencing at the same time.

Today is the first day all week I have been able to sit up long enough to write something on the computer.  It is also the first time in 3 weeks I have 1 of the girls asleep before 9pm.  It won't be long before the coughing wakes her up again though.

The past three weeks have been really hard.  I have done my best to get out and take the girls places but to be honest perhaps should have rested as am paying for it now.

I therefore feel I owe everyone an apology.  I am not normally this far behind on reviews, sponsored posts or even blogging itself.  I am not normally this quiet on social media or as far behind with commenting and replying to comments.  I will catch up soon I promise.  For now though I need to get my girls and myself well again and hopefully we will be able to enjoy some of the Easter holidays.

Please send us your happy thoughts

This day I love Happy thoughts
