I'm Here To Say I'm Not Here

I am under the weather...really. In Alabama (like many places) when the weather gets extremely hot we get ozone warnings or air quality warnings which means people with asthma or other breathing issues should not spend long periods outside. I never gave much thought to these as my asthma only rears it ugly head around pet dander and the occassional seasonal episode. Last Friday began with some coughing and gradually upgraded to wheezing then spiraled Saturday and Sunday into full blown misery of coughing, wheezing, exhausted, feverish, delirious. Monday I went to the doctor and got a diagnosis of upper respitory infection. Monday and Tuesday were kind of a blur with the kids really doing a great job of managing the house and themselves and putting together meals with light supervision. Wednesday D was off and put things like laundry back in order and I started to come around a bit. While I am still making progress it is slow (is this what getting old is because I don't like it) so I am going to drop the blog for a week or so (more) and spend time getting my health and my house back in order. Will return when everything is more normal with updates on kids and such. love and hugs, B
