I Spoke Too Soon

Well, I perhaps got a little too giddy with the idea of getting our flooring replaced and have the money to do it. It feels like nothing too great lasts too long around here! On a good note, Thomas did reinstall the flooring in the hallway. We do need to add the mouldings and decide on the rest of the floors.

As I said, I was pretty tired on Friday and most of Saturday too. I did manage to get Connor out on Saturday for a few errands while Tom and Ian fixed the flooring. Tried looking for a new vacuum, but didn't find one that I liked. Anyway, Tom had a gig on Saturday night and so I hung out with the boys doing puzzles and having a light dinner.

Around bathtime, I was starting to feel a sore throat and getting more and more tired. Trying to move the bedtime process along was difficult, as the boys have learned procrastination from the masters (us). By the time I had gotten them into pajamas and ready for books, I was feeling very cold and like the snap of a finger, I could feel aches in my muscles. I rushed through books, got Ian into bed but Connor refused to go quietly. He screamed and tried lots of tactics ("I NEED WATER! I GO POTTY! TOOPY DIAPER! I NEED LIGHTING MCQUEEN!") and I left him for a bit to check my temperature, which was 99.0. I went back in and got Connor settled in his bed and began to cry. Which made Ian laugh, because I think he thought I was being funny. Starting to feel chattery and cold ("Are you faking?!"), I checked my temp again and it was 100. I heated up a quick cup of tea and got ready for bed quickly. Tom came home, after a few text messages (He was going to see Star Trek, but came home instead-which probably would have been way more exciting to see Star Trek than sit with a weepy sick wife!) My temp hit 101.6 and I got some Nyquil and fell asleep.

Let's say that I was planning to sleep in on Mother's Day anyway, but I ended up sleeping in for much of the day. The boys got me some flowers and a cheery card, plus my mom send me a nice card too. I didn't really spend any time with them, except to have some soup.

Stayed home today and went to the doctor-honestly, I went to appease my family and friends, because I was perfectly fine to ride this out-but I was diligent and visited this morning. Just a normal flu-no swine and nothing contagious now or unusual.

Hoping to get back to normal tomorrow!
