i have been struggling since last friday. i am starting to think that i need to go to see my doctor about my congestion because it is just getting worse. it is difficult to do nap time when i can't get through a book without at least one coughing fit!i had the morning off (technically i had it off, but i spent the whole morning working) so maddie and i went to return some library books. since i am sick we didn't go inside, but i decided that while we were out i would check out the little lakeside city where this library is located. (library cards here are good at most of the neighboring cities' libraries, so you can get some variety.) there is actually a small beach on the lakefront! i almost stopped just to take some pictures, but i didn't want to get maddie all sandy just for a quick picture. i think that we might go back to check it out on thursday afternoon if i am feeling better.
madelyn fell asleep in the car, which was earlier than i would have liked, so after she woke up we
headed to the park. madelyn walked the whole way there (up a decent hill) and took in the neighbors' landscaping. she does a really great job at "looking and not touching" when asked of course. since it was still during the neighborhood napping hours (1-3) we had the place to ourselves. for the first time ever, i just sat on the bench and let maddie run around by herself. she spent most of her time checking out the tree mulch and picking up sticks. i think that she was just happy that i took her outside. we left when maddie started to call out "cook" and got in her stroller. off we headed, back to the house to "cook". only by the time we got home, maddie was ready for a real nap. she slept for another 2 hours! (on top of the 1-1/2 she slept earlier in the day.)

"cook" was the word of the day today. even when i was rinsing grapes for lunch she called it "cook" because i was in the kitchen preparing food. love.

It's so nice to have a 'helper' :)
Hope you are feeling better soon! Everyone else in the house can be sick and the house still functions relatively well ... but when mom's sick, the whole house suffers :(
Very cute. Soak up all that fresh air while you can! I hope you're feeling better. :)
