Trick or Treat

Here we have Yoda and our Karate Kid getting ready to Trick or Treat. We went to my parents house because it's a nice development, and not so much traffic, also the big hills wear the little guys out quickly! We did less traveling this year than last year... although I think they still acquired the same amount of candy! The boys had so much fun!!!!!

Little Man's Halloween Party

The little man had a Halloween Party today at school, they Trick or Treated within the building, although I was completely exhausted, and still feeling really sick... with medicine side effects and all, I still had a blast! I think the little guy had just as much fun too!

What is this?

I've gone for several periods of time today without coughing... wow what a difference, and I can breathe and I even slept. Let's hope my body keeps this up. Now for my service announcement of the month. Even if you take only one type of cough pills, and even if out of the 4 variety's the 3 that you've taken in the past has you taking 2 at a time... DO NOT ASSUME it will be the same for the 4th variety. Yup I was kinda wondering why I was kinda jittery earlier today, then I checked the box to see if I had to wait 4 or 6 hours before taking my next dose... wanted to keep those nasty coughs away and the meds seemed to be working... yeah perhaps because I should have only taken one pill every 6 hours... well live and learn.

Okay really sick...

... to the point of yes I went home from work early and I'm eyeballing a day off so I can sleep, but this week is so chaotic that I'm not sure a day off will help... field trip on Wednesday morning to the pumpkin patch, my mom is having surgery to correct a heart problem on Thursday and of course Halloween trick or treating is on Friday... yikes. I've got Bronchitis now... I wish my chest would stop burning, it's very painful, a day or night of sleep, real sleep would be so nice. The Doctor gave me a stronger antibiotic, some prednisone, and cough syrup with the good stuff in it! Let's see how sick to my stomach this all makes me:) And to make sure everyone participated in my saga here at home, the hubby has a milder case of bronchitis and as we all got into the car to trek down to the Doc's, the little guy started crying and grabbing his ear, so we got a bonus trip to his doc's too... least we caught his ear infection at the very first sign of trouble! Note to all friends/fiends stay away from our plagued house!

Still Sick... and only getting worse

Well the bladder infection is gone so I suppose I'm better and worse all at the same time! I'm fairly sure I've got bronchitis now... there is searing pain in my chest when I cough, which is about every 4 to 5 minutes. I'm so sick I bailed out on going to the little guy's PKU fall festival... which was being held at a train place for kids... I feel like a bad mommy. On the other hand I'm actually wishing I could call out of work today but the carpet cleaners will be here so I really can't... maybe we will leave early! I did go to the Halloween Party yesterday, it was pouring down rain and I figured we wouldn't see many people... boy was I wrong, at least 50 children were present. I forgot my camera so when my boss e-mails me the pics I'll e-mail them home and put them up. After work I did something I've never done before I actually went through a haunted house... it was lots of fun... actually from the construction point of view my brain was kicking it into overtime... very cool, I did miss all the areas where there were strobe lights... with the heart condition I can't be near them... but all was good there by covering the eyes. I had a blast! Completely recommend putting it on the to do list at least once in your life!

Sick, sick, sick... I know how to it right

Sick 1 Sinus infection
Sick 2 Lungs infected on the verge of bronchitis
Sick 3 Bladder infection

Yeah at least I went to the doctors for the bladder infection at which point they looked at me scratched their heads and went... you do know you have a high fever and multiple swollen glands we can see by just looking at you. I was kinda wondering if I had fleas or lice... just really localized... because I can't stop scratching the base of my hairline in the back of my head... apparently the limp nodes there are so swollen that they are stretching my skin... hence the itchiness. So a day later 4 antibiotic pills later... at least fire isn't still shooting out of me when I pee... but I wish my sinus' would stop draining, I can't sleep because it's so annoying!

On the bright side tomorrow I get to go to work for something fun... the Halloween Party at Borders. I'll be a witch... I know fitting, I need to buy a broom... otherwise I'm all set! The Grandpa will be watching the boys so I'm not sure if he will drop them off for awhile or not... it would be nice. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and try to post a much more positive blurb!
