Sick Days

I’ve been under the weather. Really, really, really under the weather. Yesterday, I spotted these…

Later in the day, they started to hurt a bit more, and look really yucky too.

After I got the kids off to bed, I started to feel really bad. I ran a fever, my face hurt like crazy, and I woke up with swelling to my lips and jaw. I was miserable.

James helped me through the night, and my mom headed up in the morning. She drove me out to Urgent Care where I ran into my kids Doctor. He said that Urgent Care wasn’t open yet, but he would work me in.

I have to say my kiddos have the best Doctor and Nurses ever. They took great care of me too.

I had a severe sinus infection and an acute allergic reaction to the bites. I got a shot and two prescriptions for the week. My tummy is going to be hurting, but it feels so good to breathe again.

I feel so much better! The bites are looking better too.

Thanks to my awesome hubby James, my amazing mom, and the awesome Doctor and Nurses too. I can’t thank them enough. Also spiders are mean.

Like a Ton of Bricks

I haven’t slept in two days, well to be perfectly honest I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in seven years, but lately it is Agnes that isn’t letting me sleep. I’m exhausted, my stomach is killing me, and my head is throbbing.

The bags under my eyes have now reached my cheekbones! Oh my goodness, I am a grumpy-gripey-angry-mess of a gal today.

So don’t tell me something good, tell me something that has you grumpy today…

Not Quite All There Today

I’m exhausted, I got three hours of sleep thanks to a very grumpy, tantrum throwing toddler. She decided that last night she was going to stay up until 4:30 a.m., what a long night. I’m trying my best to stay awake this afternoon, and make it until Thade is out of school.

Dylan is so much better, and he had a great time at preschool today.

Thade is awesome as always, he wanted to be at school extra early today. He couldn’t wait for computer lab.

The miss is still miserable, and not sleeping.

As for me, my bags under my eyes, have bags+accessories.

Yeah, I’m tired…

Croup…

Yep. This makes cold/flu #2 for the school year. The croupy cough has made it’s way to our house, and so far it is just Dylan and I that have it. Thade has started coughing, but he says he still feels pretty good. Sorry James and Agnes, looks like you are next.

Heat+Sun+Local Festival=Migraine

Every year the first weekend in June it rolls around, and I start thinking of reasons why I should just stay at home. My hubby loves to go, and so do the kids. So I go along, and I always get really really really sick, I think I learned my lesson this year…

0022

I’m talking about the Good ‘Ol Days. It’s our local Summer festival where the whole town shuts down for a good 3 days and there is a big festival downtown. It is all good and fun, but unbelievably hot, how I wish they would break tradition and move the festivities to a cooler time of year.

The boys enjoyed some super tasty homemade lemonade, I had one too. It was really delicious.

004

We walked around a bit and enjoyed the sites, but a good half an hour in to the festival my head was throbbing, and I was ready to call it a day.

0023

Even Miss Agnes was HOT!

We all decided to grab some tasty treats and head back home to the a.c. It was a fun day for the kiddos, and my hubby too, but I was miserable.

So what didn’t make it into this post, a picture of me… Sunburned (even though I put on the 50 spf sunblock), covered in itchy hives (from the sunlight), migraine for 24 hours, and 3 days of nausea. Yeah, the Good ‘Ol Days just aren’t for me.

I am finally starting to feel better, and the nausea has passed. I’ve learned my lesson, I’m just not made for the Summertime.
