Well, I now know why I have felt so bad and gotten nothing done. It turns out I have a severe case of strep throat and there was more than a sore throat that made it hard to swallow. The Doctor said my tonsils were so swollen they were touching each other and rubbing when they were already irritated. Like everyone else he said he was amazed I was able to deal with the pain as long as I did. I know what a mean nasty lady I can be when giving birth and dealing with that pain, so these comments make me wonder, what do "normal people" do?
Makes me also wonder, do I need to step back and and take more sympathy for the children when they hurt themselves. As it stands, if you are not bleeding and nothing is broken, I tell them to be good little soldiers and suck it up. I hate whiney people and my kids will not be that way. Maybe that sounds cold to most of you. Maybe some of you are like, right on! I admit to being a drama queen at times, but real physical pain is not one of those times. I am the Queen of What ifs. I like to plan for every little detail that can happen both good and bad. If I am prepared for the worst, nothing can get me down, it will only get better. Besides, there is always someone out there with a life much worse than mine. Of course I do not like to hear whining, so unless I say how are you, I don't really care. OK enough of the soap box, I need to get me a detailed list going for tomorrow so you all can keep me on target to catching up. 4 sick days is more than any mom should ever take. Have a great day!!!
