Sick. And Tired.
Pint got sick. Took her to the Dr. Upper Respiratory Infection. Two days later, I got it. Called Dr, they called in an antibiotic which is 14 pill. Take one every day for 10 days. Good on then. Tried to stay in bed, which absolutely didn't work out the way I had hoped.
1/2 Pint is now sick. Called Dr last night, she has an appointment today. Pint has counseling appt. They both have Karate this afternoon. We will be getting 3/4 Pint for the weekend. I have to work Karate Desk this afternoon for four hours, which pays for their karate.
Both girls are supposed to test tomorrow, for advancement in karate.
DH is now sick.
And I am NOT feeling any better. Horrid racking cough, snot coming out through every orifice it can, no energy, no appetite.
Laundry needs doing. Sweeper needs run. Girls room's are horrendous.
Tired of being cold, then hot, then cold. Tired of blowing my nose, which seems to be an unending thing right now. I think the medicine is working, but right now doesn't feel like it very much.
Have to call Dr for DH so they can call in stuff for him to take to get rid of this. He will get to stay in bed to get better.
I really want to come back as a man in my next life.
I just want someone to be me for about 4 days so I can get better.

So, you think men have it easier in these matters... that a man may be able to go to bed and get better, and find sympathy and service, while a woman must tend to the kids and everything else including the husband? Well, I disagree. And, after my wife brings me a cup of coffee and gets this kid off my lap, and turns on the light so I can see better, I'll explain why you misunderstand the situation.

Sounds like you might have to postpone the karate, and call in a sick day for work behind the desk - (tell em you'll cough on them all if they don't let you switch with someone) ;)
Sure hope you all are feeling better soon!

I've been "hanging in" for 3 weeks now with this upper respiratory stuff. I swear I got it doing clinicals at a daycare - the little plague ships! If they weren't so gosh darned cute, I'd be lighting my torch and grabbing my pitch fork. This stuff is awful!

One thing you can ALWAYS count on. The kidlets will get you sick at least twice a season. How the heck do Pediatricians stay healthy????

hehehe ~ s'not a problem ~ hope fractalmom saw the humor there!
Poor thing ~ those coldysnottythingys are a real nuisance.
Hope you feel better ... and make it really quick!
You've got way too many things to do than be sick
~ actually you'd much rather feel better when you
have your 'two days' to recover ... :)
((hugs))
eww ~ hope I don't get sick now!!!
