Company, Easter and Sinus Infection...

I have no excuse for my lack of blogging, aside from dealing with the most awful sinus infection, which has drained every ounce of my energy the past 10 days. Prior to this sinus infection, I have NEVER had one. I hope to NEVER have one again. A throbbing, never-ending headache. Pressure that makes you feel as though your head is going to explode. A trip to the doctor on Thursday provided a prescription for Augmentin and a steriod nasal spray. The doctor also recommended I buy a Neti Pot Sinus Wash. The process of administering this wash was similar to accidentally snorting something up your nose when you laugh. And that "something" is disgusting saltwater. For all the gagging I did, it is likely that I spit up whatever was creating the blockage (gross, I know). Hard to say which medication is making me feel better, but the good news is that I've been headache free for about 24 hours now.

The first weekend in April we had great fun with my parents and Grandma Sally here to visit. The snow and extreme winds did not hold us back from having fun. Dad and Mike took in a Nebraska baseball game and witnessed a bench-clearing brawl. We enjoyed an entire afternoon of shopping. Dad had the biggest purchase of the group as he picked out a new suit. After a nice visit with Mike's parents, we cut into a delicious belated birthday cake (compliments of my Mom). To round out the weekend, we went out to eat at our favorite restaurant (Fireworks).

Our Easter celebration kicked off with a great Easter egg hunt with Evan. He loves to be outside and thought the Easter eggs filled with crackers were pretty neat. We almost ran into a problem when only 23 of the 24 eggs had been found. Even the adults in the group were stumped by Marcia's sneaky efforts in hiding the last one! After taking in the fresh air outside, we headed to Famous Dave's for a tasty Easter meal together.


Wishing you all a great week!
