Sick Day

Yesterday at the zoo my throat was sore but I just ignored it. But then last night I came down with chills and then had a fever all night and couldn't breathe easisly, which kept me awake tossing and turning. This morning I got up long enough to say hi to the family then slept for several more hours. I had Darin check my tonsils and sure enough, I've got strep. I headed in to urgent care to get a prescription, which apparently I can't tolerate on an empty stomach. So along with my achy feverish body and sore throat, now I'm puking too. I must admit I'm pretty miserable.
It really really sucks. It reminds me of when I was a kid, I got strep ALOT. I had it I think 10 times in an 8 month span. The dr was ready to remove my tonsils the next time I had it, but I never got it again. I don't remember being this miserable back then though, I think I was much more resiliant. Plus, I had no responsibilities. I just laid on the couch and watched TV all day eating popsicles and jello. I didn't have to play mommy. I lucked out that Darin is home today and tomorrow, but I am not looking forward to Monday. I'm just praying the kids don't get it too!

Not wanting to spoil tradition, we dyed Easter Eggs this evening

I don't think I mentioned Calin has lost his second tooth. The first still hasn't grown in yet, so now there's a big toothless gap top to bottom.
