I didn't have to work in the ER today. Though I went to my other job, the day was relaxing. I ate more than one meal, I went to the bathroom when I had the urge...ahhhh...the simple pleasures.
Worst Part of the Day-
Scarlet has one of her viral coughs that she gets about every 3 months. It's a loud, barky, non-productive one that is incessant. She looked/sounded pretty miserable around 4pm so I gave her one of the Triaminic cough chews I had. The label states "May cause drowsiness in some children. May cause excitability in some children." To say it caused excitability in my child is an under statement. She has been chattering and dancing non-stop since 4:30pm like a mini cracked-out ballerina.
Currently it is 9:30pm and she is still amped up (and coughin!). I had to go into her room to tell her to settle down a minute ago and saw this scene: With full princess regalia over her night gown, she was out of bed standing at one of the half-opened windows. She had lifted the window shade and was waving and yelling out, "Good night, World! Good night, America! See you tomorrow. I will miss you!!!" (This child is typically snoozing by 7:30pm.) No more Triaminic, thanks.
