sickies all around

I really don't like falling so behind with my blog....and I'm not really certain why I have. Just alot going on and maybe a little overwhelmed trying to 'blog' it.

First off, 3/4 of the household is sick or has been sick, still sick. Just sick. Late last week, we actually took Nicholas into the hospital, he had us quite scared. Thankfully, our worst suspicion of appendicitis, was over once he threw up five times at the hospital. That morning, he just would not move position in our bed, not even to watch his shows. I knew at this point, something was very wrong! Since then, he has been pretty good except he has a horrible cough and a forever runny nose.

Shane's turn came late Saturday night just as I was sitting down to play some hold 'em with my parents, Krystal and Alex and J-man. He just started screaming and truly, it did not end all night....oh, until about 630 am! We tried EVERYTHING and he would maybe fall asleep for 10 or 20 mins and be back at it again. Ugh....a very trying night and after a big mess in his diaper, he was just fine.....well except for his runny nose and severe cough as well.

And now, it is Mommys turn. I could feel it coming on yesterday while out with Nicholas and then it just progressively became worse. Much worse. My big plan last night was to stay up as late as I could because yes, the day has come and I go in for my first night shift tonight. I really need to sleep, should be sleeping now....but here I sit. At least I'm sitting in my bed typing this and plan to close my eyes in hopes of hours of sound sleep. Ya, right.....in my dreams! Hopefully.

I am bound and determined to fight this and be fit for work....does being all doped up on head cold drugs mean I'm fit for work? I guess we shall see...
