sick days

 I tell you what I am ready for a holiday! We have had so much going on over the last several months, especially the last few weeks and now I get sick. Not fair, not fair, not fair! Ok, i'm sorry i'm done complaining. I think I mentioned a few post ago about being sick, yeah I'm still sick. Anyone who knows me well, knows I do not do 'sick' well. I started feeling a little better after starting antibiotics but have not been able to get rid of the cough. So after 2 days of people making comments to me about how horrible I sound I went back to the doctor. Verdict is...I still have a upper respiratory infection and now have an ear infection. Ughh! So now i'm on a new, stronger round of antibiotics including an inhaler to help my cough. My doctor smiled when I asked if I should miss a day of work and then she handed me a medical certificate with bed rest orders for the rest of the week. Not happy!! I've just been off work for four weeks I don't want to miss the rest of this week as well. As I said, I don't do 'sick' very well. I know I need rest but I don't like sitting still, so i'm going to follow her orders and pray I get better soon. I think my poor hubby is ready for me to get better just as much, if not more than me! He is a TROOPER! I'm so thankful God gave me just the man I need. Let's just say he hopes our children are not like me one day when they are sick. He has been so wonderful helping out with things around the house, taking care of me, coming up with herbal tea 'remedies' and forcing me to drink them (not an easy task!), and forcing me to take medicines constantly. I love that man so much. He deserves way more than the bag of peanut M&M's I bought him today! So let the resting begin and hopefully I'll be feeling better by the weekend because we've got a very special little girls 1st birthday party to attend on Sunday!
