taking care of sick people. I'm sorry to be selfish and I know this goes with motherhood. Thankfully, my dc don't get sick often. My mother was sick in November til December, then a few weeks in January, then my kids have been sick since Feb. I have the beginnings of a sinus infection, but I'm going to the doctor in the morning. It's not the mine have been that sick, but it's just so frustrating to start school, have to take a few days off, start back, repeat. I want to be finished with school by mid-May and we started late this year. Believe me, we will start back on August 1 this year. I have to have a buffer for things like this. Thanks for reading my vent and I apologize for being selfish. I know it could be so much worse. I just need to get some new perspective and some fresh air.

I'm feeling a little nuts too. We've been lucky- the kids have been relatively healthy, but I've been sick since the middle of January. Now, I'm 4 days overdue and sick with another cold. I love being PG, I really do, but there are days I just want this baby OUT so I can take some strong drugs and finally get BETTER!! I guess I shouldn't complain. This is pg#4 and the first one that I've ever been sick- yup 3 pg's w/o even a cold. Boy am I making up for that this time around!!

We haven't done a solid, 5 day week of school since December because there's always been someone around here who's not feeling well. I feel your pain!

Well, not Feb, but we were sick from Thanksgiving until the middle of January. And, we're a family that is rarely sick!!! Oh - and we had an ER visit last weekend for cellulitis!! (But, I guess that doesn't count as sick.)

We've been reading on the weekend and doing some other work on the weekend. I HAVE to be done by May because I mentally check out by then!! I know, it's not a race, but I'm on a sprint toward the finish line! :)

I hope you are all better soon!
