Everyone is Sick Around Me

In the middle of all this moving stuff, everyone around me has gotten sick.  Joe went to Vegas last week to play in the Wolr Series of Blackjack and he came back with a terrible cough.  So all weekend, while we were in the middle of the move, Joe was coughing so much during the night that I was getting the worst possible sleep.  On Monday I took him to the doctor and he now has an steroid inhaler, codeine cough syrup, antiobiotics and nose spray.  Three days later he is just starting to feel better.  He went out for a meeting today and came back so exhausted just from the hour out that he passed out all afternoon.

Then on Sunday Lucy came down with the same thing.  She got a fever and a sore throat and cough and she just felt horrible.  So she was home from school till today.  Just as Lucy was feeling better, Nelly came down with the same thing and was home from school today.  This afternoon I took some time to hang in bed with her and read her a story to try to get her to nap and I ended up asleep and napping myself.  I think I just didn’t realize how tired I am from the move and from not getting any quality sleep because of  Joe’s coughing fits during the night.

I might be just as happy as Joe when he finally starts feeling better cause I actually might get a few solid hours sleep in.  Meanwhile I have a couple of articles that are due and I totally slacked on them today because was passed out and apparently don’t write well in my sleep!  So guess what I am going to be doing tonight after I watch American Idol with my kids?
