And the thermometer says.......

Now, I swear I did this to myself. About 3 weeks ago I jinxed myself by saying to Jack "boy, I haven't been sick in a really long time" What an idiotic thing to say - out loud no less. Well the Gods of Sickness heard me and sent out the troops. The kids got it first - fever and cold symptoms - and now mom has it. I haven't felt this horrible in a really long time. I woke up yesterday not feeling well and got progressively more weak, achy, and feverish as the day went on. By the afternoon, I could barely move, and Jack had to bring home dinner for the kids and more motrin for me (I polished off the last of it by noon). Last night sleeping was virtually impossible because every part of my body ached - the worst was my fingers!!!! It still hurts to breathe!! I seem to have escaped the fever now (please God) and just feel a little bit like cooked spaghetti. Jacqueline's birthday party (a sleepover no less) is tomorrow, so I have to get off the couch every once in a while to try to do a few things, like make a cake, etc. Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow!! That's all for now......the couch is calling!!
