Ok, bad news is I have been feeling so yucky yesterday, but thought we just did too much this weekend...well, last night was HORRIBLE....i couldn't even swallow my own spit..my gut said strep, and yep I was right.....so that's the bad news...however, my dr. was so freaked out because my tonsils this morning were sooo large, he was afraid I wouldn't be able to breathe, so he gave me a dose of Prednisalone...a steriod.....OMG!(that was the good news...the drugs....heeheee) that was a miracle drug!! Within an hour and a half, my tonsils shrunk at least in half if not more and i could swallow again without pain.....it was the best! It's just a one time thing, I also am on antibiotics, and have already shoved a days worth down, in hopes of ridding this soon!!! But I have to say, if you ever get strep, which I haven't had FOREVER....ask for Prednisalone....it was awesome! And then on top of the strep, I have junk in my chest with a cough, and for that I got Musinex, once a day...and that too is awesome...he said to get Maximum Strength...but it really cuts up the junk....because coughing with a super sore throat is horrible....
Oh, and by the way...if I haven't said this a million times...I LOVE my neighborhood!! Today my neighbor called and could tell I was sick, and took Chloe to her playgroup for me, and picked her up and kept her after and fed her lunch etc.....thanks Jill. Then, my other neighbor, Melissa, took the two boys (since this was our first day off track) and kept them from 10ish til 4something.....it was just awesome....I am so greatful to live in a neighborhood where everyone is always looking out for each other.....because I am a firm believer in "it takes a vilage to raise a child"
oh, and I do have to thank Juice for coming home from work with my favorite popsicles....and taking Chloe and all the boys with to dance....
maybe that's because when he left for work this morning I was on the brink of tears feeling so yucky, begging him to stay home....but the Principal at his school was gone today, so it was just him and he HAD to go......anyway, that's the end of my pity story....i'm sure i'll be fine by tomorrow...because I feel better already.....
oh, and one more thing....Chloe came in my bed this morning and said "mom, guess what i'm going to do today?" I said "what?"....she said "take care of you!"...how cute is that......
and another funny thing is the kids asked if they could make their own breakfasts while I was laying down, and I awoke to find the entire cheesecake GONE! That was their breakfast.....along with a bowl of cereal to wash it all down.....yum.

Thanks for the tips! This sounds like what my husband has been fighting for the past week. I'll get him some new drugs now. The cheesecake story cracks me up!
yeah, the cheesecake was sad, because while I was laying in bed I was thinking there was TONS left, since we had JUST made it the evening before, and I could almost taste my piece in my sleep....only to awake to NONE! But some days you don't care what your kids do, as long as they leave you alone and let you rest...right?
Wow, yuck! I'm sorry you're sick!! And thank goodness for steroids. :)
Sorry you are sick. We are finally on the mend.
