Thanks Amanda.

It's official that DS has strep throat and an eye infection. So he has to take an antibiotic twice a day and then get drops in his eyes four times a day. This should be fun . The poor kid has never had a strep culture before so he really freaked about that. I am still trying to get in touch with the mom of the kids I watch to see what she wants to do about the rest of the week.

I was bad today and had Mc Donald's. I promised DS he could have a Happy Meal if he did good at the dr.'s and let him do the throat culture. Since it was 12 and dh and I hadn't eaten yet either, we all got something to eat. I really need to get myself together and stop all of this cheating or else I will never get the weight off.

Hey Val!
I'm sorry to hear that your son has strep and an eye infection. Poor little guy. Tell him that mommy's WISH buddies are sending him lots of healing and to help him feel better.

Take care,
Tracy

Hi Val,

Sorry to hear that DS has strep. With the antibiotics, he should be feeling better soon. I hope you can sleep tonight.

Hey Val!
How's your DS feeling? I hope he is feeling much better. I have a question for you if you don't mind. I know that you will be in WDW in December.... Have you been to WDW in December before or will this be your first time? The reason I ask is we are thinking about getting tickets for MVMCP and want to know what it is like and if it is worth it or not? I'm not sure if we will have all 14 people go or if we will wait until it's just the 4 of us and go.

Have a great day Val!

Hi all,
Ds is doing much better. Last night I even got a whole 6 and a half hours of uninterupted sleep ! Sorry I haven't been posting much the past couple of days but I have been baby-sitting 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. so I haven't had a lot of free time . The kids are watching a movie right now so I thought I would post real quick.

I haven't been exercising at all this week but I didn't really expect myself to since I pretty much have extra kids all my waking hours but I WILL get going with that next week. We have the Relay For Life this weekend so lots of walking there.

I hope everyone has a great weekend .

Hi Val!
I'm glad to hear that your DS is feeling better and that you got some good sleep in! It sounds like you have had a very busy week this week. I hope you will have some time to relax.

You will definitely get a lot of exercise in at Relay for Life. I hope that you have great weather for it!

Take care, Val! Thanks for the info. on MVMCP!

Good luck with the Relay for Life.

Ds decided to share his sickness with mommy. My throat is very swollen (but it's not painful oddly ), my ears are killing me and I can't breathe at all through my nose. Looks like I'll be having my turn at the dr. tomorrow .

The Relay went very well. We went even though I was feeling sick and I managed to do two miles before I decided overextending myself while sick probably wasn't a good idea.

I'll be checking in on everyone's journals tomorrow .

 

[vald1977]

I have a dr.'s appointment tomorrow at 10 a.m. . Now I just have to figure out how to breathe until then. Even being loaded up on decongestant, I have to breathe through my mouth and my throat is all swollen so I don't really want to do that .

I'm off to get to as many journals as I can.

Oh Val,
I am so sorry that you are sick. I hope that the doctor can give you a prescription that will help you feel better tomorrow. Drink plenty of water and orange juice if your throat can handle it and get plenty of rest. We'll be saying prayers for a quick and complete recovery. Take very good care of you today.

Valerie, oh my!! I'm sending truckloads of healing right away! You should hear them pulling into your driveway any minute now!! Are you sucking on hard candy or menthol cough drops to help keep your throat moist?? I hope the doc gives you something that will help you feel better quickly.

Rest when you can.

 

[vald1977]

Thanks so much for the well wishes and healing pixie dust everyone !

I'm on antibiotics so hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow. On a good note, being sick gave me a good excuse to lounge around on the couch today and plan our itinerary for our December trip . Sure beats cleaning the bathroom and kitchen floor like I should have been doing .

I'll be back later tonight to visit journals .

 

[septbride2002]

Trip planning is always more fun then cleaning! Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Val! Just popped in to say Hi. Sorry to find out you are not feeling well. Hopefully the doctor can recommend something so you feel better soon!
I hope all else is well and that you are enjoying your summer. Isn't this weather wonderful?!!
TTFN-

Hope you are feeling better soon.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Val,
I hope that you are starting to feel better. Are the antibiotics working for you?

I definitely agree that planning your WDW vacation is much more fun than cleaning any day! Plus, it is more relaxing and rest is what you need while you are sick.

Take good care of you today! Have a wonderful Thursday!

Tracy

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

In some ways, I feel much better but my one ear is still really painful. I don't know if I haven't given the antibiotics enough time to kick in or what but I may end up back at the dr again . I really need to get my house in order since we are going to a wedding on the 3rd and we are having all of our family over for the 4th. Figured I would have plenty of time to get it together this week but that hasn't been the case. I'm sure we'll pull it off one way or the other though .
