Strep throat...

I haven't blogged in a little while so I just wanted to fill you in on what's been going on here. To start off I just want to say that in the last week I've had 5 prescriptions. (3 different antibiotics and 2 pain killers) The pharmacist at the drive thru window of Walgreens knew me by name the last time I drove through. I am feeling so much better, but being sick as a mom is possibly one of the worst things that could happen. I'm so used to taking care of everyone else and for the first few days of being sick I was having a really difficult time. My body was definitely fighting something. Luckily Derek was home during a lot of it, but I still felt incredibly useless. My left tonsil was so swollen that I was having a really hard time swallowing and talking. One good thing about that was that I lost 5lbs because I wasn't eating, which was really good.. Strep throat is not fun! All I could do for the kids is put on cartoons and hope they entertained themselves. I think I was being very selfish because I just wanted someone to take care of me, but Derek was busy helping me with the kids. That didn't stop me from having a pity party for myself though. Why is it always so easy to cry when you're sick? My emotions go all over the place it's ridiculous. Now that I'm better my sisters and I are planning to go to Tahoe for a few days with the kids this week so we're really looking forward to that. I'm excited to take them to the beach and let them run wild because they really deserve it! Pictures of our trip will more than likely be included in my next post.
