A SICK WEEKEND!

I realize that now days the word "sick" is a term for good, but this weekend was anything but.

Saturday we had Jim's eldest brother Walt aka "Ol'son", his wife Linda and Jim's mom over for breakfast and everything was good. We visited and had a good time.

After they left I immediately felt terrible. A very weird feeling, my head was hurting and felt like a balloon, my throat was on fire and my body ached and I was freezing. I had intended on going to the store but didn't get off of the couch other than to go to bed.

Jim was great, he took care of Ben and Ean (except Ean didn't feel good either and wanted to be in bed with me). We turned the baby monitor on and he brought me anything I needed. Ean also has been cutting his K-9 teeth, so has been so whiny and has needed a lot of "maintenance" with his eye drops, cough medicine and now teething medicine.

Sunday morning I felt better except my throat and neck hurt. Jim did the yard and I was able to go shopping while Jim stayed with the kids. When I got home from the store Jim said he felt awful. He went to bed at 4:30pm and slept off and on all night. Also, last night while I was watching Survivor Ben was feeling terrible. It reminded me of when he was new and wouldn't stop crying at night because that is how he was, it made me appreciate once again how much he has changed since he was born. At least this time I knew how he felt.

We all were feeling a bit better today and I think all of us were happy the "sick weekend" was over so we could get back to our routine.
