I really suck at this
I woke up feeling sick. I promised myself a day of rest. Of course I had to clean first. Jake is home sick too, so together we hit the living room hard and then I proceeded to begin the three loads of laundry.
I put up a quick blog to let you guys know I was down for the count and then I hit the couch. I think I stayed there five minutes before Caleb needed juice. It was on the way to the fridge that I noticed that I hadn't washed the morning dishes.
Dishes done, Caleb given a fresh cup of juice; back to the couch I go. It was Emily's turn for juice. Back I go to the kitchen; oh my, is that crumbs on the floor?
Kitchen floor swept, Emily with a fresh cup of juice; back to the couch I go. Damn, was that the dryer going off?
Dryer empty, clothes folded; back to the couch I go. Oh hell, who is calling me now?
Phone answered, appointment scheduled for Emily; back to the couch I go. Caleb needs lunch.
Lunch made, wrists slit; back to the couch I go. I dare them to try and get me up again.
Okay, not really. My mother would be far too happy if I offed myself and I make it my lifes work to never make that woman happy.
My day has been busy, that much is true. Caleb seems to be on the mend. Emily is still battling this, so she is cranky at times. Jake and I both wish that we could just take our noses off and throw them somewhere.
Matt did call with potential good news. Nope, not sharing it until I am positive. Don't want to jinx it.
With Jake home I can leave the kids while I go make the rounds to the schools for the other kids. I am hoping that we can keep Emily from taking a nap and I can go to bed at a decent hour tonight.
I am off to make the rounds and hopefully find a cure for what ails me. I am thinking tequila because tequila cures everything.
Later!

Ohhhh, I want to know the good news! :( Well, potential good news.
lol. havent I taught you anything? lock the kids in the closet!!
those kids are lucky! What time does school let out?
Well, GetPaidtoTry hasn't canceled or zeroed my account, yet, so I guess my day wasn't a total loss? LOL. It would completely figure that I felt like crap all weekend long and go so painfully little done and now that I'm stuck at mom's with nothing to do...I feel oh so much better. Grr...
@der_lila_Stern@xanga - In half an hour. God help me, I have to yell at Josh first thing because I found out where all the food was going. In his room, hidden in his entertainment center. Ewwww. He even had the nerve to take one of my diet dr. peppers. Is nothing sacred?
@filtered_sunlight - I am keeping my fingers crossed on that. I just want to curl up and die. Even my back hurts. Jake says that he can't stand touching his skin. LOL, I have no help for him there.
@gwacemom - I know exactly what he is talking about that. Somehow I think he got whatever I have! I was like that for a couple of days.
@gwacemom - ok, so not as bad as I thought. I was thinking '1:15? damn I wish school got out that early when I was a kid!'
like how I replied to you twice in the same comment? I am that special!
"Lunch made, wrists slit" haha I would be miserable too if I wasn't feeling well but others depended on me. Hope you get well soon!
@der_lila_Stern@xanga - LOL, you just love me so much.
SOUNDS so much like me!! omgosh.. i say im going to relax and just sit and i end up cleaning or doing everything around the house!!
How can you relax with 8 kids? lol... I can imagine how many clothes you have to wash in a week. Scary when I think about it.
@ChromosomePlus1@xanga - LOL, after you get past three kids your whole attitude is "what is one more?"
@gwacemom - My mom had this crap over the weekend and said her back hurt a lot, too. Whatever it is, it's the most contagious thing I've seen in my lifetime! Schnikes!
Alcohol does kill germs; I'm thinking it's going to work :)
