Holiday hustle & bustle!

Well, I intended to get the decorations up but it didn't happen. I did, however, get lots done. Going to Shay's tonight for Scrapping...hurray!! We're doing Desktop calendars with our picfolio albums (kind of like one of those 5 X 7ish flip calendars). So I went through all the pics I have and printed off 2 per month (one each for the front & back). Shay will have the calendar pages ready for us and I'm not sure what embellishments to use on each page. Fortunately I have tons of paper and stickers for the seasons. I can't wait to make it!! It's my gift to myself for Christmas. :)

I also did my thank you for Delisca at the daycare. I made a yummy cranberry pumpkin loaf with walnuts for her...and I doubled the batch and made mini muffins for the kids, sans walnuts. (Gotta be careful about nut allergies.) So I got all that wrapped up and gave her one of my nice homemade cards. She really is a lifesaver. Hmm...also wrote out a Sympathy card. One of the neighbours from home died. And of course the general tidy up, making lunches and I have a load of E's clothes waiting to be folded when I get home. I find it really frustrating to have barely any bit of the night left to just relax. But that's life I guess.

Today I got on the ball, back to Curves. Going to try to get in 4 days this week. I just couldn't face getting E up early to go after her rough night stuck at the daycare. As it was, last night she was coughing half the night. I find it very hard to decide when to take her to the doctor. She's too young for a cough suppressent but at the same time, it sounds very bad. Hmm...any advice mommies?? I was going to check the internet and see what info I could find out. It seemed to be okay 3 nights ago but now it's getting worse. Seems when she lies flat, she keeps barking and waking herself up. So she's not getting much rest at all. She woke up around 10 and coughed periodically for an hour. Finally we brought her in bed with us for a cuddle and some milk. She went back to bed just after 11 and coughed only a few times till morning. But it's a sin, you can see how tired she is. And I feel so helpless cause there's not much I can do. Tylenol doesn't really help/treat it.

Well, best be off. Any advice ladies is so welcome!! TTFN!
