Then, I forced myself to get to the grocery. I'm glad I did because the snow dumped down on us in a sneaky fashion overnight. School is canceled, so Buddy is home. There is no way I would be getting out in this mess today.
The Evil Twin didn't have a choice. He is working on a very important project at work and it needs to be finalized today.
I woke up this morning still feeling craptastic, but at least my throat isn't trying to spontaneously combust. I took my temperature: 100.2, so not too bad. It's probably just the creeping crud and not the flu (thank goodness!).
I feel like this:
I will get out of my robe at some point today, but really, who knows? I'm not a morning person on my best of days. Plus, I woke up at 3 am - I had to use the restroom and when I got back in bed, I wasn't able to fall back to sleep, so I tossed and turned until Sissy woke up.
I tried to keep her in bed with me, but she wasn't really having any of that. So, I thought "Whisky Tango Foxtrot???" and lugged my sorry sick ass out of bed.
I think I'll get in the shower just so I don't have to hear the kids' fussing around for a bit. I've raided the medicine chest and picked my assorted poisons today, so maybe I'll be so out of it, I won't notice the screaming, crying and fighting (or maybe I'll be the one screaming, crying and fighting....) You just never know!
Nice use of phoenetics!!! The Marine in me hates it when people say something like Walter Tim Frank... I'm impressed, ETW!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon! Sucks that the Evil Twin had to go in to work though. Nothing like a snow day from school.... ummm I mean work.
ReplyDeleteI am about to rename our place 'The House Of Hack'...we've all been fighting off something for a week, now. Of course, my husband never gets ANYTHING...its only the kids and me. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you give the kids a shot of NyQuil each and let them sleep for a while you can get some more rest too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGet better fast!
I had if for over a month. Fever every few days. I finally feel better. Let's hope yours is going already. Feel better and try to get some rest.
ReplyDeleteI love to imagine the looks that would be on kids' faces if their parents ever just upped and started acting EXACTLY LIKE THEM!!!
ReplyDeleteI imagine you look WAY hotter than that, creeping crud or not. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better quick. We have finally all gotten over the stomach flu here and it was a miserable time!! I love that you still have your sense of humor through it all!! lol
ReplyDeleteSoLow - You know you military types totally float my boat!
ReplyDeleteRon - I know! I could have used him here at home, too. :-(
Gigi - Sometimes these things have a way of lingering, don't they? Ugh!
Jay - Great idea, in theory, but they both know that medicine tastes like crap, so neither would fall for it! LOL.
Karen - I guess 'tis the season! Yuck.
NCP - I wonder. But, I'm too loopy on meds right now to find out! LOL.
Elle - Thanks! I do slouch around in a robe, though! Hee hee.
Lisha - I'm glad you guys are on the mend. I have to laugh, otherwise, I'd be in a rubber room somewhere!
Feel better soon my dear!
ReplyDeleteOh no... I hate being sick like that. Especially being a stay at home Mom because you still don't get the rest!
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Hugs - Tiff
I totally endorse your crying, screaming and fighting.
ReplyDeleteIts your turn, baby!
Hope you feel bther : (
Feel better ETW ! Hope it's just a cold, take care of you.
ReplyDeleteDo I need to come MAKE those children of yours get along today so you can rest? Cuz' I'll do it. I may not be able to get a flight outta here, though...
ReplyDeleteI had a sore throat for 3 solid weeks. It is no fun at all! Hope you are over it quickly!

ReplyDeleteBummer...I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, if you lock yourself in the bathroom for a shower, you get a double benefit. A break from crazy kiddos and the steam will help your sinus congestion.
That crap is going around our area too except it's in the form of the pukies..oh gads, can't wait for that to hit my house...I hate winter. :(
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon..remember to rest and get some sleep that will cure it faster then anything.(of course you knew that already!)
I woke up feeling icky too. Hope you feel better soon! And how are you liking this miserable slush we are getting? I have to go to school in it later.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy until you're SURE you're better. That crap has a way of sneaking back around the corner and hitting you from behind, time after time.
ReplyDeleteI know this sounds crazy, but the last time I had a sore throat, a friend told me to gargle with peroxide and water. Amazingly, it worked!
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
Oh, yuck. I hope you feel better and hope you got some rest today!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Stupid sickness, stupid snow.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon ETW & hope that snow crap stops SOON! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll survive. I'm sick of winter and we only got a little snow months ago.
ReplyDeleteTheres nothin worse than waking up with the crud! I hope tomorrow (today) is a better day for you.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, my friend. We're getting hammered with snow too. And The kids are all sick, which means I'm next.
ReplyDeleteI have not had one nasty cold in about a year. Every morning, I wash down vitamins and some select minerals with an activia light immune-booster smoothie. It seems to be doing the trick! (And I work in a hotel, and if I haven't picked up anything from that viral incubator, then I'm doing something right!
