Woohoo!

Feeling better. Finally. I'm still a tad sick, but there is a huge difference between nonfunctional and "I want to put the laundry away and feel like I can work for the first time in a week!"

HA!

I'm not going to overdo. Baby needs a healthy mommy, and hubby would love to be able to recuperate himself instead of waiting on me hand and foot.

I start my first full day with the new job today and am rather looking forward to it. Finally took apart the computer from the old one. And looking around the house now, going, "man, this place is a mess ..." there are things I want to do and need to do ... hoping I can start tackling them all this week since I won't be chained to the couch (while sick) or to a computer as much as I was at the old job, spinning my wheels and feeling like I never got anything accomplished and the house went to crap. Obviously, that has to change if we're trying to sell this place, which we both want to do! Sheesh!

Still Very Sick

Actually, it seems like round two of this bug ... hubby felt better for a couple of days, went to work Monday, then they sent him home Tuesday because he was so flippin' sick. He started feeling better yesterday, but this morning is feeling pretty bad off again.

I'd been feeling better early in the week, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. I think I got about 6 hours of sleep last night between about 9 and 6:30 this morning. I was up every couple of hours, honking, sneezing, blowing, coughing, choking on crap ... I think I've produced my body weight in mucus. (okay, probably not).

At any rate, we've been very good about keeping me hydrated and trying to control the fever ... It's really hard though. Hubby just keeps pumping me full of "tea" (hot water, lime juice, and honey) and Tylenol.

Still, baby is moving and saying hi. So I guess he/she is doing fine in there, even with my stomach muscles hurting so bad at times from all the coughing and blowing.

Kiddo started sneezing a little last night and coughed a bit this morning. She insists she's fine and not sick though ... hoping she's right.

BABY WIGGLED AGAIN.

Just so you know. It's fine. It kicked me this morning when I accidentally squished it, and then ran laps for a few minutes.

I seriously thought I was in labor yesterday morning with cramping and pain. It lessened after about an hour and I could pinpoint it to my right flank -- it's still there but dull ... and comes now about 30 minutes before I have to go potty. The flu thing sucks anyway, but getting it and then having other bowel issues after you are feeling better, the pain involved ... Makes you really freak out when you're pregnant.

Not much on the pregnancy front. Dealing with the flu, sick hubby, hyper kid, and trying to work two jobs (until I give notice ... at the old job). So I'm tired a lot but doing okay. Wondering if baby is feeling the flu too since it hasn't been as wiggly. Owell.

Gotta get kiddo to school and bills mailed. Mwah.

Morning Funny

Kiddo asked me last night why she had to go to bed at 8 every night. "Because you need about 10-12 hours of sleep every night or your body isn't happy." That led to a discussion about rules and how moms and dads have to follow rules, too. (I guess Small Fry told her Sunday that she didn't have a bedtime and had no rules. BAH. In the next breath, Small Fry told Kiddo that she wanted to live with us but wouldn't tell me or her dad that.)

ANYWAY. This morning I went in to get her up at 7 like she asked, and she looked at me and rolled over. When I said, "It's time to get up," she started rubbing her eyes and said, "But my eyes are still sleepy." I laughed and told her to go back to sleep. She slept another 15 minutes and then got up on her own. It was quite cute. hehehe

Growing Up

BAH. I hate this computer.

Kiddo has decided to do a few things on her own this week to a month that she wouldn't have done before. She knows I'm sick and daddy's sick and she needs to help out. She still won't do the dishes or clean her room, but these few things have helped out a lot.

This morning, daddy and I were both sound asleep. She decided to make her own breakfast shake so she wasn't starving. If she's hungry at lunch or after school, she will find something -- if there are lean cuisines in the freezer she likes, she will heat them up. If not, she will look for hot dogs and heat one of those up.

The kicker for me was when I went in her bathroom this morning to refill the soap pump. She'd already done it.

It's kind of sad but also exciting to see her making these leaps in responsibility ... Love her to bits and would give her a hug and tell her so if she wasn't so afraid of getting my germs ...
