So, okay..it wasn't avian flu or AIDS (thank all that is holy--my past is a little splotchy), but I did have a sinus infection, mild bronchitis, a tonsil infection, and an infection in my throat--I could've died. (Ok, that was a BIT much). I was sick for almost five days and came to several revelations about life:
1. Kids can play when you're sleep, and they'll wake you when its important.
2. Food really IS overrated, and IS NOT our friend. I was eating oranges for all but one day.
3. When I am mean, I am really NAKED (or so says my son)
4. Sleep is NOT overrated, and really IS our friend.
Okay, so they won't change the world, but I have forged a new relationship with my son (a nicer one), gotten a lot of sleep, and I can fit into my new favorite jeans (I knew it wouldn't take much).
Hoorah for my doctor, who can look at me and make me cry while I am forcing myself to talk to him through the pain and hoorah for my son who yelled and screamed and cried and finally fell asleep too.

Sick..and TIRED
Summer colds are the worst. It started with my son and has moved on to me and soon to come, his father (who doesn't do sick very well). My son tends to play through his illness, I've been thinking the whole time I thought I was going to die that there was no way he felt as badly as I do. There's a huge fever---or chills and sweats, as well as aches and pains. Do you think it could be the avian flu? I just read another blog that was talking about the symptoms of AIDS...It could be...who knows...
Along with my current illness, I am at a loss for child care. We're in a break between a family day care home my son was attending and the preschool he is kinda signed up for. I wanted to rush right into it, but the director of the center seems a bit hesitant about that. We had a dr's appointment today and I mentioned a spot on my beautiful, perfect (the doctor's words, not mine) child's head---turns out he thinks its ringworm like I do. Very early stages, it just looks like a patch of dandruff, but very dinstinctly circular....RINGWORM?!?
I wish I could be so surprised--my niece had it two weeks ago and I am sure my son was sleeping next to her and hugging her every chance he got (She's his favorite--actually his only girl cousin). So, he's on cough medicine as the cold moves out and this ringworm medicine that takes 4 weeks to complete. AND I am still feeling pretty icky...and the B.O.S.S. will be sick soon, too,I think.
we're all so sick...and I am tired.
