Beauty blossoms from the Ashes.

Being sick is just about the worst thing in the world.  Especially when you have two little munchkins you want to play with so bad, but you are quarantined to your room!  Since Wednesday, I’ve had the flu (at least I think it’s the flu) and have been pretty much bed-ridden since then.  I’m on a steady diet of Advil which keeps this constant temperature down… it’s not a terrible temperature, usually hovering around 100 degrees… but it’s enough to keep my body aching all through the day and night, and to provide this never ending headache.

Seriously?  I’ve never been sick this long… and the worst/best part is that I haven’t thrown up.  I HATE throwing up… but I also hate being sick for like a week!  I’d rather just have one tough day and be done with it… but this thing is dragging on and on.

And poor Robin!  She’s taking care of me, and the girls all by herself!  Such a strong woman she is.  I feel so bad I can’t be more helpful, but we must avoid getting the girls sick at all costs.  Yay for Robin, I owe her a week off of parenting and a much needed massage!

Yay also for Saltine Crackers, Gatorade, Hulu.com, espn360.com, iTunes movie rentals, facebook, cell-phones, and laptops… oh yeah, and War and Peace by Tolstoy… all these things are keeping me company – and they can’t get sick.
