Mommy’s Random Thoughts

(3:30 PM Wed.) Tried not to wake my twin up with the sound of my intense gagging and laughter this morning. I have been fighting off something these past few weeks hard–and I mean HARD. I've been sneezing and coughing practically 24/7 to clear what seems like a never-ending supply of mucus, as well as being in and out of sleep to try and recuperate while also fighting off a fever constantly (I keep having heat flashes). But today, at 12 something in the afternoon, I woke up to cough. I thought it was going to be an easy one to get out...but nooooo, that stubborn glob of phlegm wanted to stay lodged in my chest, but in the midst of trying to silently hack my head off, it finally came up into my throat...and stayed there. I forgot to mention how I have an incredibly sensitive gag reflex apparently as when I cough more than 2-3 times I start gagging, so my non-stop coughs paired with the stuck phlegm was a hilarious nightmare lol. I'm coughing, gagging, crying from gagging but also laughter as I try to stay silent enough, but I was able to spit it out into a tissue in the end-so yay! And I didn't wake anyone up on top of it.

(11:56 AM Fri.) My sisters and I just chilled in the living room today. We went up to say hello to our parents and eat some food, but our mom has been extremely weak lately, so we sat with our grandma to keep an eye on her (she has Dementia), there were moments we just had to laugh at our grandma's confused rambling cause sometimes that's all you can do...plus the fact she says some pretty funny stuff by accident sometimes XD. But, I cuddled close to our eldest sister and I don't even remember half of the stuff we laughed at, we just like being together, however, I DO remember squeezing her muscles because it's my comfort XD. I also attacked her with plenty of kisses too. There was a tornado watch where we live, which is surprising cause we never get tornadoes (obviously there wasn't one), but it was relaxing to hear the storm rolling in and the rain start to fall ever so slowly before picking up with the wind. We ended up playing a few games together. An Avengers matching game (like connect four but it's five instead) that I won the 2 or 3 times we played, and then a game called Little Piggy where you have to collect the pigs on your card according to the numbers on your card, the more you build on top of your colored themed cards, the longer you keep the pig to yourself...unless you have a goat card, those eat all your cards and you 1: lose your pig and put it back in the pigpen or 2: lose your pig to your opponent who also has the same colored piggy card that you do. She demolished me in that game lol, I only won like...3 times out of the billion we played XD. We ended up having a fake argument cause she kept getting goat cards and eating all my innocent pigs up, so it goes like this: Big sister: *smiles happily as she lies down her goat card on top of my blue pig cards, and laughs (mockingly) at the sight of my crestfallen face* Me: *mouth agape, and eyes wide and full of indignation* "Oh, okay! That's how you're gonna be?" Big sister: *still laughing while her eyes crinkle at the corners from how much she's smiling. Giving a proud head nod.* "Yup!" Me: *chuckles a touch maniacally and playfully glares at her while pointing at her and playingmy next turn* "Fine then...you better watch out, cause I've got your number." Big sister: *raises her brow playfully and still smiles as she looks through her cards* "Oh you do? And what number is that?" Me: *watches her carefully pick her card with a smile on my face* "Five!" Big sister: *laughs cause of the random number* "Okay...why–" *looks up and pauses at seeing me with a balled up fist held towards her face.* Me: *shakes my fist* "A five fingered discount is what waits for you if you don't stop winning." Both of us: *busting out laughing and continuing our game, that she won anyways*
