Infected

Last Saturday, I babysat for my friends.  A couple with a birthday only three days apart, I figured the best gift was a night out on the town.  During that evening, my back started to feel achey and I assumed my period was about to start.  Not only did that happen, but I ended up with a urinary tract infection which went to my kidney, an ear infection, a fever, plus impacted cerumen (ear wax.)  I am what is called in medical circles: A HOT MESS.  Calling in sick was not an option, as one of my coworkers got married last week and is on her honeymoon.  So I worked through the pain, in fact I even got some overtime due to my coworker being out and trying to keep her stuff up to date.

Throughout all that, Tiger started puking.  Running a temp.  Then he felt better.  Then he felt worse again.  Then he rebounded; I got up this morning and found Bucket throwing up.  Missy was in her room spraying everything with Lysol so she wouldn't get sick.  Mr. R is leaving for upstate NY tomorrow and I think he's happy to get away from us sick people.  And I don't blame him.

Long story short, I'm not taking pictures while we're all disgusting.  Sorry.

Sorry you are all ill. Funny post, though.

Hope you guys feel better. I would almost venture to say to that urinary track infections are worse than child labor! No joke.

Thanks, Jill. I try to keep my humor up even when I'm down. It always seems to make everything better. And Cheriz...well, they certainly last longer than labor! I am finally feeling better and I'm going to continue my antibiotic course even though I'm not in pain anymore.
