Well,
Joe left for Guam just over a week ago. He seems to be enjoying the warm 80 degree weather, snorkling, shopping, and 5 star hotel he is staying in. It sure beats what we are going through out here in old Missouri!
Over a week ago I had pink eye and went to the doctor. Days later my pink eye was not gone and I found myself making a trip to the ER with eyes swollen shut. The doctor in the ER
explained that the drops I was given are very harmful for my eyes and that nobody should have
ever prescribed them to me... or anyone at that. I was extremely overwhelmed with Lauren and
asked my mom to come out and help. Ever since my mom has shown up, Lauren is the perfect
child. She is able to spend lots of time with me...which is what she wanted to whole time we
figured out. She has not acted up one time since my mom got here 6 days ago. I was basically just
neglecting her and didnt realize it with my sickness and school work. The time she normally has
with Joe was gone and I was the only thing she had. I feel like crap thinking about how she must have felt. :( She is the sweetest child and I hurt her. I know I shouldn't beat myself up too bad
about it, but it hurts to know that I was hurting my own child.
So my eyes are almost 100% again...I still have some burns on the outside, but for the most part am better...and looking much better than before. But of course now we have the flu. My mom came perfectly healthy and I had no sypmtoms, but somehow we both got the bug. So far the kids are not sick...but only time will tell if they will get it. I hope not b/c that would just be
absolutley horrifying. We are doing our best to take our vitamins, drink our fluid and get our rest. We probably arent getting as much rest as we need with kids around though. I just want
my husband back. How did he luck out on missing the flu and being on a tropical island at the same time...luck I guess. These times make us stronger and help us to appreciate the good health we enjoy everyday. So ....its my birthday today and Im afraid it will not be as enjoyable
as I would have hoped for. Birthdays really arent that interesting anymore anyways though! I
never understood why my parents didn't get excited for their birthdays...now I do! Its really
just another day ...especially without my hubby here! Im sure by this time next week I will be feeling great! I think I am going to start working on my homework since Im up with a stuffy nose. I really should go back to bed...but I am having a hard time breathing with my stuffy nose.
Fun times! Betcha wish it was you huh! Okay...Im done complaining for now! Now it's out of my system!
