Island Life

Both kids are absolutely chocked with the cold. Now hubby is coming down with it too - thankfully he's not normal (well he is really) and he only gets a cold not manflu!! Its me that complains more when I have a cold. Touch wood though there is no sign of it yet! So as you can imagine we are going through a mound of tissues, kleenex will be in business another day at least. Even made a head blowing curry last night to try and clear some tubes. Seemed to have worked for my wee girl but she still has a really bad cough. It sounds like she's been a smoker all her wee life!! Maybe with the way they grow up so quickly these days I should start checking her pockets lol! The wee man seems a bit better tho they are both playing/beating each other up just now so hopefully the worst of it is over.

In my madness yesterday I decided to have a change about in the kids room. They share a room and have that many bleeding toys they overflow into every room in the house. And then the garden is full of toys too. Really must invest in a shed. Kids thought it was hilarious watching me put stuff away as they pulled it all out again. Think all the hard work was worth it though. They seem to have a bit more room for moving about now. Well that is till Santa makes his visit! I forgot how much stuff we had got them. Thats what we get for being so organised this year. Its even wrapped!! And its hubby thats the virgo. I'm not meant to be oganised since I'm the fiery sign Sagittarius. Think we have a bit of role reversal! I say 'we' have got christmas sorted. By that I mean I have bought everything for everyone, wrapped it etc etc and he says 'yea thats really nice' or words to that effect. Although this year he actually bought part of his mums pressie - maybe next year he might get for two people!! Think its a man thing.

Was going to go out and try and get some fresh air into these kiddies lungs and to run some energy off them but it is absolutley howling and really cold out there. So seen as they both are chocked thats maybe not such a good idea.
We will all just have to suffer a bit of cabin fever. Even the poor dog took one look out the door this morning and promptly did an about turn back up to hide under the bed. The cat has braved it though - silly old moggy that she is!

Well going to have to go just now the wee man is starting to grumble again time to find the trusty calpol! Hopefully they will be better tomorrow for everyones sake..... The house is even less normal when they aint well. Its different in some way. Quiet. Well in between the grumblings. And this house aint normally quiet so it can be quite unnerving.......
