Just Shoot Me Now

Seriously. Just kill me now.

I'm of course being overly dramatic but there is no doubt that this flu sucks. Today was my worst day yet. I spent all but 3 hours in bed with a terrible fever in and out of sleep. I'm dehydrated because instead of drinking I slept. I left the TV on (because my arms hurt too much to search for the remote which was lost in my bed) a program called Snapped all day. Snapped is about women who kill their loved ones and spouses. It was very surreal to have Snapped playing quietly in the background while I drifted in and out of consciousness.

Nick was up all night with a very high fever. Tylenol and Motrin combined didn't bring it down until THREE hours after we gave him the drugs. Nick and I collapsed at 3:45am on my bed and didn't really move until close to 9am. He has had a fever off and on all day and he has stopped drinking. We finally coerced him into taking fluids with some very sugary popsicles I had buried in the freezer. He had two Jelly Belly popsicles and then started to perk up. He is back to drinking but only a little bit at a time. I think he is alright though because his energy level came back up this evening and he was running around. I'm still watching him like a hawk though - when I'm coherent enough. He is so little that I really worry about him.

Anyway. AJ is getting sick now. I hope that I feel better tomorrow so that he can rest. Lucas was better but had a fever again today plus he is super irritable. To be honest both AJ and I want to kill the kids. I know they don't feel well but all the crying and screaming and short tempers are hard to take when you don't feel well either.
