Guess what? I’m sick. Again. As in, I don’t think I’ve been sick so many times (counting since last fall) in years. Not even while I was pregnant and supposedly had a low immune system from protecting the baby and all. So this go round started on Saturday night when I was clicking away on the computer and my back started to hurt. And then, when I crawled into bed, my back was really hurting and slowly, all the joints in my body started to join in on the achey chorus.
When Owen woke up all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 8:30 AM yesterday morning, it seriously felt like I had been run over. Repeatedly. By someone who was holding a serious grudge. And had decided to mistake my throat for a block of cheese that needed to be grated. I felt a little bit better after some Tylenol, but managed to run a nice little fever (101.5)and feel generally crappy all day long. Did I mention that its been running like in the lower 90’s here and really humid for the past week too? Yeah, the thought that I might have been running a fever didn’t even kick in until about 7pm when I started feeling like I had a sunburn and it occurred to me that I hadn’t been out in the sun…in over a week.
My husband is still out of town (lucky lucky man that he doesn’t yet realize he is), so I’ve been getting to do alot of quality couch parenting. It doesn’t help that I think Owen may or may not have this–he’s had some of the same symptoms–AND (here comes the really great part) ALL 4 OF HIS TOP TEETH ARE COMING IN AT THE SAME TIME. Oh wait–did I yell that last part? Yes, yes, I totally did. Owen doesn’t seem to have quite as bad of a time with the teeth coming in thing as alot of kids do, but that doesn’t make him any less grumpy about suddenly going from 2 teeth to 6 teeth, pretty much all at once.
Am I wrong to start looking for the locusts and flaming meteorites?
