The Boys Go Back

The boys went back to school today and I tried to go back to work, but one look at me, and Mrs. Debbie sent me on my way.  She would have had a stroke had she seen me last week.  I still had a slight fever though and she could see it in my eyes, I did not even realize it until I went home and Brandon checked it. 
At least we are almost back to normal before christmas.

One Week Later

Well the  boys and I were still down today.  So we were all home again.  It is probably better safe than sorry with the boys especially since Danny's class is going to sing Christmas carols at the nursing home.  I know that he wanted to go, but I also know that sharing this crud with the elderly would have been horrible. 

Sleepy Sunday

So I am still down, it will be a week tomorrow and I a just not me yet.  I am so ready to be well.  Maybe with the sunrise tomorrow the boys and I will be better.

Seriously

So my glands are so swollen that my neck is sticking out further than my ears.  I can barely swollow, and I feel like at anytime I wont be able to breath.  I am exhausted and freezing.  I am not sure that I have ever been so sick.
Mom took me to the doctor.  He was shocked at how big my tonsils were, yet he would not give me a shot.  Seriously?  He gave me a steriod dose pack on top of the amoxicillian I already have.  Something better help, I am seriously miserable.

Called In

My doctor called me in some medicine for strep. Amoxicillin, it better do something fast. 

Mom had her Bunco party tonight so I pretty much just locked myself in the bedroom so that I kept my germs to me.  It sounded like they had a good time though. Brandon took a few group pictures of them, here is one, which cracks me up because of my mom and the red leather purse that she ended up not getting (Dirty Santa) and we heard about for days! 

I wish I would have felt better so that I could have helped her get ready or helped Brandon with the boys, or well done anything. 

It Started With a Headache

It was really nasty this morning and we slept late, but there was no way I was getting in the car with the boys.  I had a horrible migraine so Brandon took them.  As the day progressed how I was feeling started to degress.  My throat is so swollen and I feel so horrible.  There is no time  for me to be this sick, I need to work and I need to get 1000 things done.  Oh well, I guess God has other plans.  Mom says it is because I never have any down time.

Will It Pass

So it seems that this cold is here to stay.  With phnemonia running rampid and my chest in knots it is going to be a long winter.  The thing is the weather goes up and down and therefore my body is at a loss for what to do.  So I end up sick.  This is my busiest time of the year, sick is not what I need.

Pumpkin Time

Today was a great day as far as Mondays go anyway.  I am pretty sick, which I am sure is from spending hours outside in the horrible temperatures.  Oh well.
ASC was pretty easy, I just let the kids know I did not feel good and was in no mood.  They must like me at least a little because they seemed to be on their best behavior.
Brandon stopped on his way home to get pumpkins for the boys to carve.  They were so excited when we got home.  I think they thought we forgot.  I was worried that we would not be able to get them, but Brandon came through as always.  He is pretty amazing to say the least.

The boys insisted on carving their own and they did great.  John Michael drew his own design, a puppy dog.  Danny did the headless horsemen.  They were both so great and I was so proud. 

I pretty much went to bed as soon as the pumpkins were done in hopes that tomorrow I will feel better than today!
