Sick

Well, I have been really really sick this week. I went to bed Sunday night with a slight sore throat and woke up Monday with a raging headache, exhaustion, and sinus pressure. Luckily Dwayne was sweet and took half-days on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, I had an OB appt. (always fun) and so he took half a day again. Thursday I woke up with more energy finally but officially had a drippy nose and deep cough. But those symptoms seem to be responding better to the cold medicine so I let Dwayne go back to work. By the end of yesterday however, I can't speak. It seems I have developed laryngitis on top of everything else. It has been interesting trying to communicate to the kids what I need them to do. Let me tell you it really makes me appreciate the voice God gave me. So today I'm feeling a bit better. Still can't hardly speak but at least I'm able to get a few chores done. The house is a pig sty! As most of you moms can probably attest, the hubbies do their best but it just isn't done as well as when you do it. But I try not to complain because he has also put in a full day's work. To top it all off, Evie came down with a fever and cough yesterday too. I just hope the boy's will avoid this round of flu/cold. I feel like someone has been sick the entire winter and I'm so ready for us all to be healthy again. Hopefully, with the nicer weather expected this weekend we can kick this thing.
