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.
