sick

For the past 4 days, I have been sick....the "can't-get-out-of-bed-if-my-life-depended-on-it" kind of sick.
The kind if sick that Moms can't be.
Luckily for me, Chris was able to take care of the kids while I slept away 2 days.
I was fortunate enough to touch base with pretty much every cold and flu symptom there is, headache, congestion, fever, coughing, body aches, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, and earache.
By day 3 (Tuesday) of this mess, I wasn't feeling better and started to worry that I could have strep throat, pneumonia or at the very least, an ear infection, so I called the doctor.
I called at 9am and the office was busy, they could squeeze me in at 4:15 with another doctor, so I took it.
I got to the appointment, told the doctor of all the ailments that I was experiencing and prepared myself for a heavy dose of antibiotics. He listened to me and told me that I was among the many patients he had seen throughout the day with the same symptoms, he checked me over and gave me the diagnosis.
He told me I have mucus.....mucus.

A bad cold with mucus, swollen lymph nodes, fever and coughing.....it just has to run its course.

Naturally, it will run its course through everyone in this house first.
