I was feeling pretty good yesterday. Today is the opposite. This afternoon my ears and throat started hurting. As I type, it hurts to swallow. Coughing also hurts. I may take my special cough syrup tonight. Part of me is wondering if I haven’t picked up strep somewhere.
It was really challenging tonight. Robert and Joe went to go see a movie. I originally wouldn’t have cared. Joe’s had a rough couple of weeks at work. I’ve always told Robert that if he can find a time, he can go. Tonight I was really tempted to ask him to reschedule. I didn’t though because I know it isn’t always easy for Joe to get out. The movie they are going to see is getting very difficult to find in theaters. If they waited another week, it may not have been possible. So back to the home front. Warren started to run a fever again tonight (only 99.5, but it’s still a fever). He still isn’t eating much at all. He was a bit whiny tonight. Laura is getting jealous of all the attention Warren is getting for being sick. As a result, she is demanding a lot of attention. This resulted in an evening of one whiny child, one child demanding attention, and one mommy that just doesn’t feel well. Around 6:30 or so I had a moment of weakness and hit my breaking point.
The current plan for tomorrow is for me to go to work until 2. Then I will go to Helen’s to pick up Warren. We both have appointments at 3. After appointments, I’ll pick up Robert and then we’ll pick up Laura. I’m going to enjoy an episode of Bones since both kids are in bed and I have full control of the tv.
