So. I am pleased to report that the kids are doing better today!! Dekker was really upbeat this morning, and Laela has usually been telling me she feeling “not gook” but today she said she was “okee” so I’m calling it progress. Rowan is still sleeping a TON, and is quite irritable, but no one has fevered yet!! None of the kids anyway.
I, on the other hand, did not sleep last night. Like not at all, I don’t think. I realized in the night that I was reaching a point of irrationality and just being not “with it” in general. And I was FROZEN, yet my skin was very toasty. It wasn’t looking good. I woke Brady up and he got me some Tylenol and took care of me, but sadly, I still didn’t sleep. It was a rough nice, followed by an equally rough morning. It was a HUGE deal that the kids were feeling so much better, because if they were all crying all day today, I’m not sure we would have made it. Even so, Brady ended up coming home early to take care of us. He found us all in a pretty pathetic state. Rowan was napping, Dekker and Laela were watching TV, and I was huddled in a chair in the living room, wrapped in a blanket. It was over my face and everything. He basically walked in the door and I went to bed. I took my Tylenol and basically made a fort in my pregnancy pillow that I sleep in. I slept for just about an hour and a half before I woke up feeling a bit better. I’m definitely still sick, but I was heated up and finally had some sleep to my name, which made a world of a difference. I don’t exactly feel like a new woman, lol, but I feel less like a zombie.
All of this being said, I REALLY want to go to some garage sales tomorrow! I anticipate garage sale day in my hometown every year, and I haven’t missed it in so long. I’m going to be SO disappointed if we can’t get there, but I’m sure hoping! Even if I’m running on Tylenol, I think we’re going to try 🙂 We’ve missed out on too many fun days/holidays thanks to illness. We didn’t get to celebrate Rowans birthday until over a month later, we missed our anniversary and Valentine’s Day, and now I REALLY just want to participate in garage sale day and Mother’s Day at our church!!! Say a prayer that we can all just be rid of this mess, and soon!!! We don’t have another six weeks to waste on being sick.
