Sick and Tired

OK, so the title says it all. Not that I am sick and tired of anything specific. Literally, I'm sick and that leads to being tired. It sucks. I can't breathe through my nose, ran a fever last night. I'm the last one of the house to get sick. Everyone else is pretty much better. Jessica actually had strep throat complete with antibiotics. She missed 2 days of school last week. I really wanted to get some stuff done this week but this cold is not allowing me to do that. Oh well, it will get better.

It has been kind of a hard week otherwise. I follow a blog of a 10 month old who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of cancer, on January 24 and she died on Sunday. I don't even know these people personally but when I look at the beautiful pictures of her and her family, it is so sad.

Not much else happening around here. Enjoying the nice weather we've been having. It was just a year ago that we were in the hospital in Hutch with Daddy and had finally gotten the official diagnosis of lung cancer. I went back and read the caring bridge journal entries the other day. I can't say that it was really upsetting but I don't remember a lot of those days as they all seemed to run together.

I am working just once in awhile at the surgery center. I ws suppose to work 3 days this week but being sick, I haven't. I will work on Friday if I feel OK. I am working at the office this afternoon and travel with Doc tomorrow. At least I'm bringing in a little money here and there.

I have to admit it's been kind of nice to just be the mom for awhile. Jessica was only a year old when I started nursing school so she has never had me around to poick her up every day at school, be home for supper, help with homework, all that stuff. If I don't go back to work full time until July, I will have been off for 6 months from full time work. That's hard to imagine!!

Hope you have a great day!!
