Well, I'm sick!! I finally got what the kids had. Here I sit, with my cup of hot tea in front of me, early, EARLY, Sunday morning, at the end of the kids' Spring Break, and what a cruddy week it's been! It rained and was mostly cold, and windy all week long, so the kids couldn't really get out to do anything. Two of Andrew's best friends were grounded for most of the time. (He still managed to get to two parties, one last weekend, one this weekend!) Eler Beth's friend across the street was sick, and so was Eler Beth. She had a chest cold, not too bad, made her feel just bad enough. I doctored her all week long, determined that she'd be ready for school next week. I had taken off the Friday of their Spring Break and the Monday that they go back, thinking I'd do something with them on Friday, and then have a nice Monday to do things for me. Well I started feeling bad Thursday. I noticed I was getting hoarse last night. I took Thera-flu that night, but by Friday morning, there it was -- Crud! I woke up with my eyes red, watering, my ears stopped up, my sinuses draining, sneezing a little and coughing a lot! So for the past two days I've had Thera-flu, Sudefed, Vick's Vapor Rub, Hall's cough drops, hot tea, orange juice and lots of chicken soup. Tonight I thought I was going to get a regular night sleep, but for one thing I slept too much this afternoon to be very sleepy right now, and for another thing I can't lie down without coughing! So I decided to get up, have something hot to drink and sleep propped up on the sofa. But first, I'm catching up on my journal.
The good things that happened this week: Our four puppies born March 10th opened their eyes Thursday, March 24; Monday was the first day of Spring; I talked to my Mom on the phone and everyone is fine at home; didn't have to call from work to make sure the kids were up because it was Spring Break; I have grape hyacinths coming up in my front plant bed; I was off work Friday,so I was able to be sick at home without wasting any PTO time; Thomas hasn't caught the bug yet!
The bad things that happened this week: It rained every day except Saturday; Eler Beth was fighting off chest congestion all week; I finally succumbed to the bug she's had; couldn't really get out and do anything with the kids on Friday; couldn't start my Spring Cleaning on Saturday; STARTED something else instead, if you know what I mean!
I'm a little loopy from the medicine I've taken. I'm determined to someday talk about books in this blog! Afterall, that's part of my "All About Me" introduction, and part of the reason I started this. But maybe tomorrow when I'm not so loopy. Or rather, later on today. I don't think I could be very coherent tonight. I'll be back later today, if I get some rest. Til later, then.
