Worst Week Ever!
Not really. But close.
Let's go back to pre-planning week. I was hot gluing stuff to my wall and I went and burned the absolute PISS out of my right hand while attempting to load a new stick into the hot glue gun. It's a second degree burn. According to the almighty internet I was supposed to get treatment for it since it's on my hand. Oops. It seems to be doing fine but the new, tighter skin hurts if I bend my hand too much.
So, I've been dealing with that mess.
THEN on Sunday night my back, left, upper teeth began to hurt. I've been battling teeth pain off and on for about a year or so now. We can't figure out what the problem is. I am also due for a cleaning so I thought I might have a cavity. I went by the dentist office on Tuesday to make an appointment and the hygenist had a few extra minutes so she took an X-ray of my teeth. She said she couldn't see a problem but that my sinuses appeared to be sitting extremely low, pretty much right on top of my teeth, and that if they were irritated then it could be causing my teeth to hurt. I hadn't been feeling any true sinus symptoms so I kind of just filed that theory away to think about later.
Well, the next day, I woke up and I was extremely mucus-y. I thought it was because of the extreme heat or something. I went about my day and made an appointment with the doctor to get my sinuses checked out just in case. On my way home I started to feel absolutely AWFUL and the left side of the roof of my mouth seemed to be swelling up. I pulled into the CVS near my house becasue they have a Minute Clinic (a nurse practitioner runs an office there and can diagnose and treat common ailments). She took a look down my throat, in my nose, and felt the pressure in my face and said that I had a classic sinus infection. I got some antibiotics and then, since I was having pain in my teeth and my throat, I decided that I wanted a milkshake and fries for dinner. I drove to two different Chick-Fil-A's and one was closed for remodeling and the other had a broken ice cream machine. AAAARRGH! I got really upset and called my mom and begged her to bring me a milkshake and fries. Luckily, being the wonderful mommy she is, she did so right away AND cleaned the kitchen.
This whole thing explains why I had been sleeping literally 12-14 hours a day since Monday. I would wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep on the couch, and wake up to crawl in bed. The only thing that got me off the couch was when I needed to let the dog out or feed him. Dan was out of town so I didn't have anyone to help me around the house so things got a little gross.
BUT, I'm back. My antibiotics are working, the pain and swelling are going down. I'm starting to feel better.
The one good thing this week has been my kids. They were so awesome this week! I really hope that this trend continues because, so far, I am really impressed with how well they are following directions and listening. They are really neat and clean, too. I haven't even had to do a lesson on how to use glue and we've already done two "glue heavy" projects. Plus, they are all ADORABLE. I want to take them all home! They aren't a super "high" bunch of kids but they all seem to be hard workers and they seem to really want to learn. I haven't noticed any truly lazy ones, yet. They are also very quiet which is definitely a change from last year! I really wish it wasn't totally inappropriate to post pictures of them on here.
Anyway, I'm going to try and get some chores done since I've been neglecting my household duties this week.
