I have been sick all week. Started on Sunday with a sore throat and quickly progressed to a fever, cough, and body aches. I didn't do the wise thing and take care of myself. Instead, I opted to work (12 hours on Monday, 8 on Tuesday, and 6 on Wednesday). In addition, I had other commitments, namely 3 well child checks (for my 3 healthy boys) as well as a back-to-school night at the Middle School which I was NOT going to miss. And I didn't. By Wednesday night, I collapsed in my bed, clutching my bottle Nyquil, and I've been mainly horizontal since.
Some thoughts:
1. The 2 am "booster dose" of Nyquil makes waking up at 5:45 am very, very hard.
2. My boys can be incredibly sweet.
3. Middle school is awesome! Teachers are great and committed and interesting. The school has a no tolerance bullying policy which makes it (so far) as safe community.
4. There can be too much viewing of Real Housewives. I think I may have done permanent brain damage.
5. My house has definitely become the house to hang out. After school today, 4 extra children have migrated over here, which brings the grand total to 7 boys. This makes me so happy.
I'm exhausted. Back to horizontal.
