Bring on the Rain

I am climbing out of my sickness daze, still battling the phlegm, but I'm actually upright today. That's a huge improvement. And it couldn't have come at a better time, since I had to teach today. Ah, but there is a wrinkle. Zachary woke up crying this morning. He NEVER wakes up crying (kind of like I never get sick). He was quite congested and couldn't breathe well. Oh joy.

He was a little clingy this morning with the sitter, so I cancelled my intermediate class and came home early. I think he's milking it a little, but nonetheless I'm pumping him full of Vitamin C, colloidal silver, et al. I put him down for his nap today and he was fine. We played our favorite game of the moment "mama's zipper." I wear a zippered hoodie regularly and Zachary loves to zip and unzip that hoodie while sitting in my lap. He unzips it and pats my chest and says "mommy's heart." Isn't that the sweetest thing? I don't know where he got that from, but I love it. So now he's napping peacefully, but before he fell asleep he asked if we could go outside after his nap. So now it's pouring down rain, along with a few lightning strikes and rolling thunder. I'm not sure how I'm going to pull this off. Only two more days until Daddy comes home, thank God.
