This week's been generally crappy. I started feeling sick on Monday: sore throat and headache.  I thought  was getting strep throat.  It's been a few years since I've had it, but I think I was due.  Tuesday was a snow day so the boys and I spent it being lazy.  By the end of the day, cabin fever had set in.  Wednesday we had a 2 hour delay and I was definitely getting worse.  I was determined to get out of the house, so I took the opportunity to run some errands.  Thursday, another 2 hour delay, and the sore throat had changed into a horrible head stuffiness and cough.  Friday, I woke up and could hardly get out of bed.  Thanks goodness it was another snow day.  I stayed in bed all day, sleeping, coughing, blowing my nose.  It was general ickiness.  Saturday was just more of the same.  It's Sunday now and I'm not feeling much better.  At least I can get out of bed today.  I made it downstairs, but just barely. Highlight: Thursday night everyone was frustrated.  I was sick, the boys weren't getting their spelling words.  Everything was a mess.  As I was putting the boys to bed, the sweetest thing came out of A's mouth.  He looked at me and said, "Mommy, if we have a snow day tomorrow, I'll fill up your glass with ice water so you can be comfortable."  Thanks A!  That made my week seem just a bit brighter.
