I think it's hardest to be a parent when you're sick. Late Monday afternoon my throat and head started hurting, and somehow that progressed to the throbbing, blinding pain and nausea that stayed to play all day Tuesday. My boys were angels, though, and were content to entertain themselves indoors while I curled up in my cave of blankets and pillows on the couch. In fact, they might have enjoyed it a little bit-- they got to have lunch at the coffee table in the living room so that I could lie down while they ate. Aside from making their meals and doing a load of dishes, nothing got done. I still feel pretty rough today (nothing like waking up with a mean headache, hmm?) but at least I am able to sit up without wanting to die. The fever broke earlier, though I still don't understand how my entire body can hurt all at once. This does wonders for my mood!
There are hopes that the Great Sinus Infection of '06 will taper off by the end of the day; we pick Josh up at the airport later tonight and it would be nice if he didn't have to be greeted by a grumpy, snotty, feverish wife.
