Everyone is either coming down with a cold or just getting over it. I felt fine until about 10 am. My head started throbbing, I really felt like puking, and all I wanted to do was put my head down somewhere and rest.
Well, that would be a very easy thing to do except I had the eldest child home because she was sick with a cold, I had the middle child home because he didn't have school today, and of course I had the youngest babe 'cause DUH...everywhere I go, she goes..lol.
So I ended up taking a couple of ibuprofen. I turned the TV on and that kind've mellowed the two older kids down (I KNOW...I'M A BAD MOM BECAUSE I'M ALLOWING THE TV TO BABYSIT MY KIDS, oh please don't turn me into the cops, PLEASE?) , and I got the youngest one to sleep. With all 3 kids occupied, I finally managed to rest my
pounding head by laying on the couch hoping that the Ibuprofen would soon kick in. Later, I decided to get up and try to munch on a couple pieces of toast, and so far I'm feeling a little better. The pills took the edge off but I still feel very light-headed. Craig seems to think that this headache is a symptom of the cold that he's now getting because he had a real bad headache 3 days ago, and now he's got a sore throat. Yay! Go me!
Anyway, here's hoping that everyone on my flist has a healthy relaxing weekend.
