Being sick really sucks

Well, the week is close to over (only one more full work day and few hours left today) and the weekend is beckoning. I am MISERABLE!!! Well, not as miserable as I was. This week has thrown me for a loop. Monday was Columbus Day and Rick took the day off to spend time with Isabella. I, on the other hand, had to work...all day long. Rick took the truck and had to drop me off/pick me up. While I went to work, they enjoyed the day together and even went to Plaster Fun Time!!

Tuesday was a different story. Isabella woke up with a horrible cold and ended up having to stay home from school. My dad took care of both her and the baby while Rick and I went to work. She look so much better when we got home and she was excited about going back to school the next day. As Rick and I settled in to go to bed, I noticed that my throat felt a little sore. I tried to shrug it off, but the more I thought of it, the more I felt like the worst was yet to come.

Wednesday morning...OMG what a horrible morning. Rick and I both felt like crap and while I said good-bye to Bella as she headed off to school, I couldn't help but think of how fast I could get to work, do what I needed to do and come home. I had resigned myself to come home around 1:30pm but when all was said and done, I didn't head out of work until after 2:30. So much for relaxing for the rest of the day. Rick got home late that evening and picked up essentials (tissues, cough medicine, sinus medication, etc.). By the time I went to bed, I felt better, but still not able to breathe out of both nostrils...

Which leads us to today...Thursday. I woke up really groggy and had that sick taste in my mouth...EWWWW!!! I went right to the bathroom and brushed my teeth...twice. I decided a nice hot shower was in order and BOY did it feel great! I headed to work, determined to last the whole day...so far so good. I actually feel better and haven't taken anything since this morning. I'm hoping that the worst is now over since having a 3 month old and six year old does not leave a lot of time for self pampering! Hopefully tonight will be relaxing and uneventful and who knows, maybe my daughter will have surprised me and cleaned her room for a change???!!!
