Sick like it's winter

I mentioned that we were sick last week and that was why I was able to get all that crafting and blogging in.  I now realize that it didn't really qualify as sick. It was perhaps, at best, under the weather.

This week we were REALLY sick. Sick like it's winter sick. Antibiotics for me - sick. Antibiotics that I did not have the energy to pick up -sick. My friend went and picked them up for me - that sick.

Sick like it's winter sick.

I had to cancel swimming lessons, piano lessons, my book group,  and summer fun.  I went into work, but ended up laying in the back room (curled in the fetal position) while a friend filled in for me.

I am finally on the mend but my children are a sniffling raggedy mess.

Lilly woke up at 4 this morning screaming for a tissue.  At noon, when I told her we were all leaving the house to buy more tissues, she was quite concerned with how she would blow her nose in the car. I assured her that we could take our tissues in my purse with us in the car and to the store.  When we were at the store we were all coughing and sneezing and spreading all kinds of germs and she just begged for more tissues.

I have no pictures to show, which is for the best. I just hope we are all better next week and thank goodness there was no stomach flu involved!

Ugh- there's nothing worse than sneezing when it's hot outside. I hope you all feel better soon and can get back to your summer fun. Your comment about going in to work made me randomly think about your old job in high school and that guy Tyler that you worked with....crazy what memories pop up!

Liz I am so sad I can't take care of you, Just know that if I were there I would be getting you tissues, and bringing you dinner, and picking up whatever you need. I hope you feel better soon. Being sick is no fun, and just wrong in the summer months!
