Today I have discovered that there is something much worse than having a
nasty head cold, something worse than having a migraine. What?
Having both at the same time.
Every sneeze, every cough makes me feel like my head is exploding, I can
actually see the pain in bright, vivid Technicolor.
Hubby has gone into work today, but everyone else is still home sick.
Right now I'd have to say that Dot is looking much better, her coughing is
getting better. It doesn't have that raspy harshness to it anymore.
EB is looking a bit pale, but he hasn't vomited since yesterday morning.
That's a good thing. Especially since he ate roasted chicken boneless,
skinless chicken breast, mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed baby spring
vegetable mix last night for dinner. I figure if he's keeping that down
then he must be on the mend.
That leaves me and LB. LB's fever is gone. He's starting to eat
again, he is also drinking much better than he has been.
And me, I seem to be getting worse. I guess that's because I've been
running around the house taking care of the sick people. I don't think I
slept more than a couple of hours last night.
I had to go to an Inspection Committee meeting last night, and they
were having elections. Guess who got elected as the Secretary of the committee?
Yup, yours truly. There is was, sitting at the end of the table, late
arriving at the meeting (the first I've attended), I was sneezing and coughing
and blowing my nose, a lot. So all of that made them decide that I'd be
the best person to be in charge of all the paperwork for the Committee.
No really I just got elected because nobody else really wanted the job and I was
too high on cold medication to realize that I could have turned it down.
Aw, who knows, maybe this will be good for me in the long run. Perhaps
I'll be able to do some stuff other than just clean the house and cook and feed
my kids all the time.
Met some new folks in the Committee last night. The first people I've
met in the Co-Op that haven't seemed like they want the world to hand them
everything on a silver platter.
I also have gotten a handle on the person that comes out of the building every
morning with their dog off of the leash. Seems that woman has been warned
numerous times about her dog, and that animal services have been called so many
times they've been told if they are called once more they will be taking the dog
into custody.
And while yes I don't want to see the dog get taken away from it's home, those
people really shouldn't have it since they don't seem to care one bit for it's
safety. I mean, we live on a very busy street and they never have that dog
on the leash. I've seen it run right in front of moving vehicles and then
the owner gets mad at the driver for almost hitting her dog. They
shouldn't have an animal.
Hubby has just called me. He wants me to get LB's inhaler refilled.
What that means is me bundling up all 3 of my sick kids (one with possible
pneumonia, I still haven't heard from the doctors office) and take them to the
walk in clinic. The other day when Hubby was home he knew that we needed
to get LB's inhaler refilled. But he didn't want to drive down and get it
taken care of. His great idea, drop me off down there and I could call him
when I'm done.
I'm so fed up with him wanting me to do everything. Me taking care of the
bills because he's a screw up there. Me taking care of the house, the
kids, the meals, he wants me to come with him when he does the shopping even
when it means dragging the kids along which with LB's wheel chair in the car
leaves no room for groceries. I do the yard work, I have to fight with him
to get any repairs done.
I don't want to go out in the rain today. He's nagging me to get it done.
Can't he just do it when he gets home? Nope. I can walk down in this
damn weather with a sick child, and me being sick as well.
Self centered bastard. I'm tired, I'm not feeling good and I'm being super bitch today. If Hubby doesn't just shut up I may be seen on the 6 o'clock news when I'm being arrested by the police for either spousal abuse or murder.
