Friday Night Leftovers - the amended "got run over by a truck" version

Okay most of these I'd written out last night. The very last one is brand new.

• Simple breakdown here - being sick isn't fun, having sick kids isn't fun. Having sick kids while you (and hubby) are sick, wow, "isn't fun" just doesn't cut it. Guess we got spoiled as they never got sick their first year but what a pain.


• Speaking of, the girls are finally on antibiotics after getting the "sinus infection" determination. Now both hubby and I are sick but not quite to that stage. With my history of major allergies, a general sinus cold and such doesn't bother me - however this time we have a lovely cough that's pretty much kicking my butt and winning. Lungs are not happy! Although, as gross as it sounds, phlegm has to be a nice point value in Scrabble right?


• As a side issue, my right upper arm has been felt like it's on fire - this happens once in a great while but nothing like this past week. Had to pull teeth to get into a dermatologist; he was actually very nice but I could tell his assistants were like "hurry up so we can go home." Gee, thanks. For now we're going with "seborrhoeic dermatitis" (nice way of saying just really ticked off skin) If that's not the case, his other theory requires a biopsy so we'll just hope the first thought is right.


• Hmm, so if the first idea is right, one of the main triggers is stress. Hahaha, okay, really? I work (no less with my hubby and my family), don't sleep well, have twin toddlers... you get the picture. Doubtful that removing a lot of stress is in the near future.


• Had a parent-teacher conference at their school. Yup, our girls are nearly 19 months old and we're already meeting with teachers. They clap when we arrive at school so they must like it, right? Seems Audrey is more the thinker and Allie is the active one. Audrey likes to do little projets while Allie wants to run around the playground and go up the "big" slide. So we're banking on Allie being the first to visit the ER. Although they did try one assessment with colors: Allie wasn't interested in it at all, but Audrey apparently could identify all her colors and color in-between the lines. Progress, right?


• As in what seems to be a complete void of intellect, hubby and I may try to get out and play golf this weekend. Eh, enough cold medicine and we should be good to go. I may be paying for it later.

Now the "new" addition.

• I wrote that, right - about paying for it later. Hah. Started to feel a bit funny during golf and came home to find out I had a 103.5 temp. Okay, wow. Went to the urgent care where the idea was just a nasty, non-flu virus. Stayed well above 102 for five hours and just now dropped to 101. Feeling like total crud. Hmm also burning up, go figure.
