The unsuccessful dodging of the bullet

So yesterday I posted about my sick kiddos and wanted to dodge the bullet. My attempts were unsuccessful. About 6 last night I started coughing a bit and then by 9 I was miserable. I had to call my primary president this morning to have her come and get the box of stuff to take care of it herself. Apparentely she had 3 other phone calls from teachers notifying her of the same illness.

I hate being sick. I have no patience and my kids suffer. Although the boys have been great to me. Jared even shared his blanket with me. As I type I'm sweating, just a few minutes ago I was freezing. UUGH. Also my ribs are killing me and I feel as if I've been hit by a truck. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be better.

I don't wish sickness on anyone, I know how miserable it is and especially when you are "MOM"!

I wish you a speedy recovery!

sorry to hear that shannon. I guess I shouldn't complain about my anxiety. It sounds better than being sick with sick kids. Maybe you should resort to the alcohol! All in the name of good health right? What did you think of that anonymous comment on my blog?

I feel your pain. We are all suffering from the never-ending cold/flu crap. Seems as soon as we start feeling better, we get it again. After going through one whole box of tissues in one weekend, I think I've seen enough snot to last a lifetime. I thought that I would miss the worst of it, but then the body aches and fever came last night. I was taking a somewhat relaxing bath and I thought to myself that drowning sounded like a good idea. But I managed to drag myself out of the tub and I started to feel a little better today, only to feel crappy again this afternoon. Hopefully soon we can all feel better. I hope you all do too.
