Anna’s had a rough go of it in the last 36 hours. A runny nose turned into what seems like our 951st bout with croup last night which led to us emptying the entire contents of the water heater while sitting in a steamy bathroom watching You Tube videos on the iPhone at 1:30 a.m. Even Surprised Kitty isn’t that cute at 1:30 a.m.And, if you happened to be out last night at 2 a.m., then yes, that was me and Anna you saw enjoying the frigid air whilst taking in the beautiful sight of Atlanta in the wee hours…Lucky Jason in Minnesota (whoever thought that sentence would be uttered?)
Now we’re at full blown cold phase, doped up on steroids and fingers are crossed there is no croup re-do tonight. To add insult to injury, Anna’s eczema has flared up and she has a particularly bad patch on her right ankle. Tonight during a quick bath she was complaining about it “being stinging”. Once out of the bath she kept saying, “Mommy, fix it! No stinging.” As I approached with the cortisone, ready to fix, the following conversation took place, verbatim:
Amy: “A different medicine?”
Anna: “No, mommy. A different foot. Get a different foot.”

Oh, Amy. I'm simulatneously sad and happy to read this. I hate that Anna doesn't feel well and that you're stuck up in the middle of the night...but I'm glad to know I haven't been the only one going through this repetitive sickness all winter. Hope everyone feels better now.
Also, I ocassionally lurk on your blog. Hope you're ok with that!
