WARNING: ANYONE OPPOSED TO HEARING A GROWN WOMAN WHINE LIKE A LITTLE BABY, PLEASE READ NO FURTHER.

Good thing the kids are both doing better.  Thursday around lunch I suddenly felt like a train had run right into me.  In an instant I was hot, sweaty and nauseous.  Every inch of my body ached.  I was driving home with Lennon and it was his nap time so I got home laid down with him and as he fell asleep I laid awake wishing I could sleep, but not being able to because of the extreme discomfort I was in.  The kids were great for me that night and the next day I managed with some ibuprofen.  Today my wonderful wonderful husband got up with the kids and took them out of the house until about 10 30.  After a while I got out of bed when I realized I couldn't sleep and I wasn't going to be any less comfortable out of bed than I was in bed.  I got up and made some tea and sat on the couch and watched some History Channel thingy.  I had a brief moment of remembering what is what like to actually "get to be sick."  It was nice to be sick and sitting on the couch alone drinking tea and not taking care of anyone.  Now it's 8 45 and I feel completely horrible.  I'm cold so I put on a sweater or pull a blanket up.  One or two minutes later, or sometime AS I'm putting the sweater on I suddenly feel hot and sweaty and have to take it all off.  No sooner have I done that than I am shivering again.  I have a horrible cough, but have to hold it back because every time I cough it feels as though my temples are going to explode right out of the side of my head.  I have to brace my head with each cough.  My eyes are watery and red and itchy.  My chest is burning and my throat is tight and sore.  My nose is alternating between running non stop and being completely stuffy.  I feel like I'm dreaming.  This sucks.  Thank God the worst of this has come on the weekend when Shelby is home to help me out.  Hopefully I will be better by monday.  Boo, hoo hoo.  Waaa waaa.  Sorry for the rant.  I'm too cold or hot to write any more.
