Monday, Monday

My son got home from his cub scout camping trip and his cough was much worse. Could it have been that 20 degree night air in the mountains?

This morning he looked awful so I took his temperature. It was normal. So I was literally walking out the door to take him to before-school care and he coughed and started wheezing so I said, "Grab your DS and get a book. You're going to work with me." I've never done that before. Luckily, there's an empty cube next to me since Mr. Recruiter took a hike so he just hung out there while I got through giving the new Sr. Director of Marketing his orientation. Then I got son into a 10 a.m. appt. and the dr. said, "Has he ever had asthma before?"

Two pharmacies, three Rx's, and a quick lesson in administering Albueterol later, I was home with him and quite exhausted. We ate lunch, watched a science channel documentary on volcanoes, and then the beagle lay on my stomach and lulled me into a power nap.

Now I'm trying to pick up the pieces of my day.

Oh, and in between pharmacies , the dry cleaner and the gas station (well, I was out...) I went by the gym and weighed in. I lost 5+ lbs. this week!
