the essence

Where have I been this week?

Monday I decided to try to lump all of my housecleaning for the week into one day (plus teach three piano lessons & make chocolate chip cookies!). I was quite successful, wrapped most everything up on Tuesday & still had time to weed & mow the lawn. My body was so exhausted by the end of those two days.

And what a wonderful thing to get the cleaning done! Especially since Addison woke up sick Wednesday morning. Runny nose, cough, & a fever. A fever that has gotten as high as the 105's!!! She had her first bit of tylenol ever Wednesday night. Today I think she's slightly better but still running a fever. She's so lethargic & cuddly. I'm enjoying the cuddly part because she hardly ever lets me hold her. I do wish she'd get better, though, I hate seeing her so sick!
