Runny noses are frustrating to me. I've had one for two weeks now. Some days I feel fine and take some medicine for it and I can breathe and do pretty much anything. Other days I have been so tired and had other symptoms associated with the runny nose like dizziness, soar throat, and at night I have lost my voice. I read online that you are contagious the first couple days of a cold; and then as long as you have symptoms you could still be contagious but not nearly as much. I want to get things done people! I need to make Christmas stockings, go Christmas shopping, do the dishes, take Elise for a walk, clean up the clutter, make a baby/toddler emergency kit, play with friends, go grocery shopping, take newborn pictures for my sister in law. But I'm scared to death of 1) making someone else sick and 2) making myself worse. When do you guys get back to business as usual when you've got a cold?
Today is one of those days where I have taken minimal medicine and have had more energy than I have had in the last two days so I got Elise and I showered and then I CUT HER HAIR!! She had the best hair when she was a baby. It just curled and I could stick a headband on and she looked adorable. Now she has this under growth of hair that is about 2-3 inches long that doesn't stay in any pigtail,braid or pony tail I have put it in. And she has her hair that was so cute and curly but is so long it just lays semi curled when it's left down. I seriously need lessons from my friend Jamie Kotter Moncur on how to make Elise hair look as good as her girls hair does. Anyway I took about 1/2 an inch off the bottom of Elise's long hair. The curl came back almost instantly. Hopefully this will help with the hair down look for a while.
