Sick AGAIN and Snow!

Tuesday night, Cory and I had flashbacks from when Carson was a baby because he was up the majority of the night. We didn't know what was wrong but began to think it was growing pains. We took him to daycare and then Nena picked him up. That is when I got a call at work saying his nose was like a faucet running and he had a cough but was playing well. Must have been why he was up the night before. I came home and did all the preventative things to hopefully keep a cold away. We did the Vapor bath, Little Noses, Vick's baby rub on his chest, and kept him propped up for most of the night.




However, he still wasn't better Wednesday morning. Did I mention that I had to go out of town yesterday and returned today so was worried about the little guy. Here we went nearly 16 months of his life with him not getting sick and it seems like it has been a losing battle for the last two months.



So I headed to Lexington, KY yesterday afternoon to conduct a training session for ~85 HR Managers. Then found out that the Charlotte area was expecting the first winter storm of the year. Yes, you guessed it - I missed the snow....again!!!! It has only snowed twice here in the last 5 years I have lived here in NC. Once this past Feb and I was in Raleigh at a conference - by the time I got home all the snow had melted. Then there was last night- Mooresville got about 1 1/2 - 2 inches and yes I missed it - it is practically all melted now. Fortunately, I made it home safe with only a couple hour delay at the airport. The only thing that saves me is that Cory and Cathy always tend to find the camera and show me what it looked like!!! Maybe one day I will see the snow in NC cause I really miss it!

Here are my "You Missed The Snow - but we thought of you" pictures :)
