Sickie Boo!

So on Wednesday my daughter came home with a fever, at lunch, from daycare. It was a bit funny because she came home and literally slept in her bed from the the time we got home (12:30pm) until we had to leave to go pick up her sister. That meant she slept for over 3 hours! After she woke up she was her happy self and the fever was gone. Yippy! That meant she was good to go to daycare on Thursday and we only missed a half day of work, and since I have over two days of flex time built up, it wasn’t a problem for me.

Fast forward to Friday and oh man do I feel sucky! I woke up congested and phlegmy, and wow did it feel icky! Today is Saturday and I still feel awful. It’s one of those days where I will let my kids watch endless TV while Steve does his marathon run. I feel kinda bad though since I have no patience today. I’m sick, yesterday was a bad day, and my kids won’t stop yapping. I say yapping because it’s really just Lillian saying the same thing 50 times! She has to tell me she’s a little girl, over and over and over. I love my girls but when I’m sick I just want a bit of quiet and rest, and I can’t get either when I’m alone with the girls. But I have to remember that I am very fortunate to have two healthy girls who love me. I keep saying it over and over again in my head. 🙂

I don’t mind being sick but what sucks is that since we’re trying to have a third baby I’m not able to take anything for the cold symptoms because we never know when I will get pregnant and I won’t risk exposing my future baby to drugs. So I’m trying to get through the weekend without going crazy, but at least Steve and I have a date on Sunday so I will get a bit of quiet on our outing.
