The Land of Snot and Sniffles




I have again been like a deer in the headlights when it comes to this blog. It's lurking in the back of my mind all week but every time I go to write I freeze...nothing to say, nothing to say!!! But I want to keep at it and I don't want this blog to stall, perhaps if I keep going I'll eventually hit my stride? Here's hoping anyways.

The title of this week's post refers to the fact that Justin, Cate and I all have hayfever right now. Sucks to be a member of this household!

Justin has suffered from hayfever for the last few years, although it tends to come and go. None of the 'going' part this time though. He's snotty, sneezy and has now added coughing to the mix...plus his sinuses are blocked. Oh yeah. It's fun living here right now! He's downing Zertek, making sweet, sweet love to his decongestant nasal spray (not literally peoples!) and we had to make a special trip to the supermarket to buy the extra large boxes of tissues.

Worse is that my beautiful baby has it too :( Boo Hoo! Poor Catie has been struck down by weeping eyes, a wicked case of the snots and also has her daddy's sneezing attacks (which she finds hilarious...although I find it significantly less so seeing as the sneezing means mega snots which usually get wiped across her face and into her hair before I can reach her with a tissue. I'm sure she's going to love this particular story when she's older!).

To combat the hayfever this afternoon Cate and I spent some time playing on the upstairs balcony. No grass! I let her splash around with her beach buckets and some water and her bath toys and she happily entertained herself for nearly an hour. Daddy spent this time sleeping off the snots and sniffles and I spent this time sucking up some of the sun's rays and delighting in my daughter. so I guess this post has a happy ending after all!

  1. You poor things - doesn't sound like much fun at all. It is good that Cate can occupy herself for that long thought.
