NY chicken lover!!!!

Ugh, so much for me looking/feeling my best this weekend at the get together. For the past week I have been suffering with a very sore throat and nasal drip. Couple days ago I decided to treat it as allergies, which I normally never have but with the weird weather, thought it was worth a try. Forgot that allergy meds don't allow me to sleep. Went to the doc yesterday to rule out sinus infection which is commonly what I get. She stated allergies, try a shorter time allergy med (6-12 hour compared to 24 hr). Took 1/2 of a 4 hour dose at 6pm after the 24hr wore out. Past 2 nights I slept no more than 4 hours each.

It is now 3:30am, been up the last hour, I only slept 4 hrs again. And lucky me, I woke up with pinkeye. Hubby had it 2 weeks ago, so figured we made it past without sharing. Nope. At least he had a whole extra brand new bottle of the eye drops to treat pinkeye. But now have to give up my contacts for the duration of treatment.

With daycare being closed for the 3.5 weeks, I have been taking mon-wed off, only working thurs-fri, and really really need to go to work to get stuff done. Now I have a brand new case of pinkeye, sleep deprived, sore throat, runny nose.....should I even bother going to work?

Don't worry, the potato salad hubby makes. May skip the zucchini bread though and just rest more, unless hubby is feeling like Betty Crocker. Think he can handle packing the condiments and punch stuff. And fruit dip is mixing 2 ingredients together, he can handle that.
And can someone tell me why there is a rooster crowing at 3:30 in the morning?!?!?!

I am sorry that you are having a rough time. Maybe the rooster is just trying to offer a little comfort, saying your'e not the only one awake. I hope you get some sleep soon.
 
Sorry to hear you are ill, lap and java. Lots of that going around. Sudafed is a hot seller right now at the pharm. Wish I could go meet everyone at tabs but I am working. Sunday I am going to the Ductchess Co Fair with a friend and we will spend considerable time in the poultry barn looking at the cheeps. Maybe I can find a couple girls there.

Since I was home watching Little Girl, Hubby got me the meds. First he got me 24 hour stuff. After going to the doc yesterday, she recommended Sudafed, need the antihistamine to dry up the drip before it becomes more serious and use the stuff that doesn't last so long. Hubby brought home store brand nasal decongestant. He tried.

Found I had some 4 hour Benedryl for allergy and sinus headache. Took half dose and still had sleep problems. I'm going to give up the allergy meds, sleep is more important.
 
Try sinus rinses. I have bad sinuses and sinus rinses clear them up with no need for OTC meds. You can buy it in a can to use or the powder to mix with distilled water. After a days or so use you should notice a big diffrence. No more nasal drip, stuffy nose, etc. I use it once in the morning & before bed.
Good luck !!
 
I've been working all week cleaning up the house. I steam cleaned monday after my sister let the girls eat pancakes in the living room. Since then there has been yogurt, tomatoes, and soda on the carpet. My youngest walked through a burdock thistle patch yesterday and I spent at least a half hour picking it out of her hair while she was screaming. My youngest is also a pee machine. I've washed sheets 4 times this week so far. Yesterday I just about yelled myself hoarse "Get yours butts back in the house. You don't run around naked!" They've figured out doors and I have to make sure to fasten child locks on the inside to trap them in. My girls have been little boogers lately!

I wish there was a smiley pulling its hair out.

Lap-- Hope you feel better. I feel your pain on the 4hrs of sleep!
 
Lap and Java , sorry to hear you are sick. Which reminds me to take MY allergy med. I have to take it everyday or else. I'm real susceptible to these things so I keep wipies near the computer and anywhere else someone in the house might touch. Even near the chickens.

Try some Ibuprophen PM to sleep. Works for me. Though I only take one pill.
 
Tab the rule is to clean AFTER a party. Don't go hog wild before.

Now I've got hens hatching chicks, Dels and some EE's and since you're the hostess do you want chicks for a gift or something else?

How many are coming so far?
 
Adorava--Here are the pics of Sams brothers...First one is Legolas, last one is Frodo.




Handsome boys. Hoping to find some pretty girls to put with them.
 
Tab---I have always lived by this rule. If my friends and family want to come see me, they can come anytime. If they want to come see house beautiful, they need to call at least 2 weeks ahead of time for an appointment. Dont worry about it. I dont think anyone is coming to see how clean and neat your house is. Your chickens, on the other hand....

Just kidding. Wish I could make it but duty calls. The pharm never closes and I am its minion. Sigh.
Enjoy those girls now. I know it seems far away but you will want these days back one day. Mine are all grown up and have their own lives now.

I agree totally when we have family over I clean like a crazy person and then afterwards clean up again! Dont go crazy Tab! As far as the girls go I know what you mean! Addie can't wait to see them Sunday!

I don't need a gift. I don't think we really want chicks either. After all our broodies I'm chicked out.
I've got a count of 25. Today someone told me of someone else coming that wasn't in that count so maybe I'll have a bigger turn out than 25.
