Summer break for a teacher is always fun until about the 2nd week and then we start to get a little stir crazy. Well we are now almost 5 weeks in and I have cleaned every inch of our living quarters, thrown away and cleaned out every drawer, cabinet and closet. The laundry and dishes are always done, breakfast lunch and dinner always made. Not to mention the strict routine that we have been staying on because mommy has to get her homework done. Just exhausting typing all that really.
With all that said I have now deep cleaned twice in the last 5 weeks. Yes, twice. My OCD is a bit out of control right now. Two days ago I cleaned the toys in Layton's toy buckets. I should have known better because the same thing happens EVERY TIME! I get out my Clorox Anywhere spray and start to spray and wipe the toys. The whole time I'm thinking, "Everytime I do this he get's sick!" Oh well I just keep cleaning, wiping, cleaning wiping until every toy has a new toy shine!
Now to backtrack for those of you that follow Layton's story...
You know that sickness was nothing new from about 3 months to 22 months. We spent many hours at the doctors and allergists trying to figure out how to keep him off antibiotic and keep his allergies under control. Finally with a new doctor Layton made HUGE gains. I have managed to keep him out of the doctors office since the end of March! (We did go in April before out spring break trip but that was just a small allergy attack, nothing really important) He goes back for an allergy testing in September to see if he has gained new allergies and see if he has lost the old. I'm on pins and needles waiting for that day! Plus he has his 2 year check-up on Wednesday morning!
Anyways...
Guess what? Layton woke up from nap yesterday with a slightly runny nose! Then this morning he woke up with snot all over! Of course! Cough, snot, cough, snot! Why did I clean the stupid toys knowing it would happen? Needless to say we are now nursing a cold and snotty nose that won't stop runny. Using as many home remedies as possible and hopefully he will be dried up before Wednesday morning!
