Remember me saying something about…….”this despicable germ monster spewing his filth onto me and my pillow..”

Well, He got me.

I feel like crap. My throat is soooooooooooooo sore, and I’m trying to fake like I’m not feeling bad. I clear my throat every once in a while in place of coughing, but it doesn’t help either. I’m drinkning gallons of Decaf. Tea, and water. NOTHING is helping! I even tried some Tylenol to kill the pain……….the PAIN, OH the PAIN! I have no idea why Xandra and Jeremy aren’t spending all day whining and flailing about, on the couch or their beds or the kitchen floor. If they feel anything like I do…….OUCH! Well, maybe they’ve realized that I’d just tell them to suck it up, and get a drink of water. Or maybe it has something to do with the Tylenol Cold DM that I’ve been force feeding them like candy!

Whatever! I’m not feeling well, I didn’t sleep well last night and I have 2 kids at home to be taking care of. I know, “whine, whine, whine!” All I want to do is to crawl into bed with the covers over my head, and sleep and watch crap daytime TV. But , NO, I lovingly foolishly stopped at school this morning and asked for my kids catch up work. Am I crazy? I didn’t like the whole home-school thing before, and I sure don’t like it now that we’re not feeling well. But, like good little soldiers, we plowed through about half an hour before I gave up and figured that we try again tomorrow.

The worst part about this is – I have not actually complained out loud once, and Jon is feeling sick! (Does that sum it all up, right there or what?) I have no idea how sick he’s actually feeling. Is he sucking it up and the complaing that he’s doing is only a small part of how he’s actually feeling? Or, Is he complaining, and whining the way that some men do when they’re sick! (I said “some men”, so if you are a guy and reading this and you don’t whine when you’re sick, or you think you don’t whine when you’re sick then I excluded you with the “some men” part of my sentence – now back off!)

Well, I’m hoping for a miracle by the time I wake up tomorrow! I’ll keep you posted!
