My goodness, this has been a long week here. The summer weather has finally decided to come which is good, but I’ve been sick all week, which is bad. I woke up Monday morning with a fever and sore throat. This is very unusual for me, since I never get fevers. Wally was starting to think there was something wrong with me since I was sick all winter and not once had a fever. Since I was feeling pretty bad, and had a fever to prove it, I stayed in bed all day while my three kiddos ran around the house, watched TV, played computer games, and pretty much did whatever they wanted to. And I didn’t care.
By Wednesday, I was feeling so yucky that I went to the doctor, another big deal for me if you know me. I was convinced that I had the flu or something worse and came out with “it’s just a really bad cold”. The remedy? Take a couple of advil for the discomfort and mucinex to clear it all out. Great. Except that mucinex doesn’t work for me. Or Wally. But I tried it anyway and it still didn’t work.
It’s Saturday night, and although I’m feeling a little better, I’m still going through 3 boxes of kleenex a day with no end in sight. And speaking of sight, now I have some form of pink eye. I’ve been putting the drops in my eye all day and looking up home remedies online (if you know any, send them my way). Hopefully I’ll wake up tomorrow and this will all be in the past. Except that probably isn’t going to happen. Sigh.
To add to all my drama, Wally left yesterday afternoon for a work conference in the Netherlands and will be gone all week. Great timing, huh?
I bet those bacteria bugs are laughing their little heads off right now.

Sad!! Colds are the worst! I'm sorry... wish I was there to help you out! :)
Sorry you're feeling so horrible. Hopefully you can kick that bug goodbye sooner rather than later. Good luck this week!
UGH, feel better soon!
Yuck. I hope you feel better! That is so weird because I was sick this week too and I NEVER get sick. I even had an ear infection, probably so I will have some compassion for my kids :)
Pink eye too? Wow, good luck! I hope you feel better soon! It's so hard being sick when you have kids to take care of! (Especially with a husband who is out of town!) I'll be waiting for those phone calls this week! :)
Ronni!! I'm so sorry you've been sick. And to have Wally out of the country makes it 10 times worse. I hope you're feeling better today and even better tomorrow...
Sometimes being in charge stinks--and this is definitely one of those. Hope you are on the mend soon.
