Yep, Still Sick

This sucks… I was hoping that after a long night of sleep I would wake up refreshed and renewed, but no, I’m still sick. My tonsils are huge, and I think I can hear out of 1/2 of my ear, which I guess is good because Dylan is feeling good and screaming his happy screams today.

Thade still has a horrible cough, and he was mad at me this morning because I told him it was Saturday and not Sunday. I love debating the days of the week with my 4 year old.

James is also doing much better, thank goodness. Now if Nico can just get back to better, we’ll be all set.

The Sickness Found Me

Yesterday evening I started to feel a bit wonky. I gave the kids their bathes, and put them to bed a little bit early. By 9:00 p.m., I was miserable… I was freezing cold, but my eyes burned thanks to a high fever, my stomach was a wreck, and all I could hope for was sleep.

At 10:30 p.m. Dylan was up and crying, so James went in to get him back to sleep. At 11:00 p.m., Dylan was up and miserable, so I stumbled in to the boy’s room, and tried to get Dylan back to sleep. This continued on every 15-30 minutes until 4:30 a.m., when I finally gave up. I was so sick, I couldn’t even pick Dylan up.

Finally at 5:30 a.m. he was asleep, and I was up with Thade at 7:00 a.m. I still feel awful, but the boy’s are both doing well. I’m worried about my hubby though, he wasn’t feeling too good at lunch today. If I can muster up the strength, I need to get to the store and get Flu supplies, but I don’t think that it is going to happen. It looks like the Flu season made an early arrival to our house, grrrr.

Thanks for the Love :)

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes for my Sister (in law) Jill! You are all so sweet and such dear friends too. Jill is home and hopefully feeling better today. She had such a rough day in the E.R., with many tests run, and a painful Kidney Stone was discovered. I hope that she is resting, and that she will be all better soon, so I can give her great big hugs! Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and thank you again for everything.

Prayers for Jill

Please be thinking of my dear Sister (sister in law) Jill today… Her Mom just called, and Jill is very sick, and is in the Emergency Room.  We are waiting by the phone to hopefully hear some good news. I’m a worried mess now, I love my Jill… I just hope that she will be feeling better soon. Jill is too awesome, to be feeling so icky.

Flu Shots?

Today Dylan and I had a few errands to run while Thade was busy at Preschool. We stopped off at Dollar General, and then a quick run to Walgreens for their Colgate-Palmolive sale. I spotted FLU SHOTS coming soon on the marquee, and after last year’s horrible flu, I wonder if we should all get one?

I’m allergic to eggs though, and totally needle-phobic so I don’t know if I’ll get one. I’m definitely stocking the pantry with soup for Flu season though… I also picked up some cough syrup for the kiddos, just in case.

What about you, do you plan on getting a Flu Shot this season?
