Sick Sick Sick
We’re all sick. Number one son is still nursing a broken collarbone. Number two son has a head cold, and I have a sinus infection. Ugh. I am sick of being sick. I would like to boil my head just to make the germs die. My son says his nose is going to fall off from […]
Where Does It End?
I am feeling very overwhelmed right now. The boys are both down — #1 with the broken collarbone, and #2 with a bad cold. I tease them by calling them Crippy and Croupy. I don’t want to be at work; I want to be home with my darlings. I have a couple of really large projects […]
I’ll Be Sick for Christmas
What a crummy Christmas weekend this turned out to be. I started feeling sick on Friday night, and by Saturday morning, I was miserable. I stayed in bed almost all day. Same on Sunday. On Monday, feeling slightly less horrible, I alternated between lying in bed and helping my parents get ready for Christmas. On […]
Migraines and Kids
My younger son had a migraine yesterday. Poor tyke. He’s only nine. And he was in so much pain that he was struggling to keep back the tears. We didn’t go trick-or-treating, because I’m still not feeling at the top of my form, and I wasn’t up to trekking up and down our block in […]
Gevalt!
I’m sick. I don’t mean just “ugh, I don’t feel all that great” sick. I mean, so sick I’ve been in bed since 7 p.m. Wednesday, with a brief attempt to go to work Thursday morning and a trip to the doctor on Thursday afternoon being the only times I’ve been up until this evening. […]
Kids Do the Darndest Things!
I don’t know what it is about Opening Night of a play that brings out the weird in my family. My church’s annual musical revue, a fundraiser for the organ fund, opened tonight. So last night was dress rehearsal. I had planned to take the kids, since this weekend is a visitation one, but then […]
ITCH!
For several weeks now, my shoulder blade has itched. Only the right one, and only in one certain spot. It’s maddening. It’s in a spot I can’t reach (of course), so I have to have a back-scratching implement with me at all times. I carry a bamboo one in my briefcase, so I have it […]
BURNED!
Yeah, I got totally baked this afternoon. Number one son had a baseball game today, but it was in the early afternoon (2 p.m.) rather than mid-morning, as we are accustomed to. I had errands to run this morning, so I left the kids with my parents and breezed back home just in time to […]
Restful Day
Today was very quiet and restful. I woke up tired and sore, and with a sore throat, so we didn’t go to church. I want to make sure that Lobster Boy is completely free from Scarlet Fever before we get up close and personal with folks again anyway. So we puttered around the house all […]
