Scott and I have been sick since last week. A bad case of fever, clogged head, congestion, scratchy throat, and noisy cough. With only a single wall between his room and mine sleep has not been easy, particularly with him coughing a lot more than me.
What makes it worse is that the kids were supposed to go home Friday evening for their week with their mom, but the job from hell she's been working in another part of the state went bad because of all the rain we've been having from hurricane Ike over the weekend, so, they will not be going back until this evening.
It was a rough weekend all I wanted to do was.....nothing! As much as I love my kids I was looking forward to them heading to their Mom's so I could retreat to my bed and stay there. Since I was having trouble breathing and needing to clear my throat I would stay up in the living room until Scott settled down (evidenced by the cessation of coughing from his room) and then I would head to bed so as not to disturb him. The idea of making food or cleaning house was just too unreal to even think of! I ended up ordering out food each night which I will regret when the credit card bill comes in.
Scott and I spent most of the weekend on the couch with him spending some time on the computer.
Today I am feeling somewhat better, past the worst of the symptoms but very weak. So weak in fact that Tails sense this before I left for work and pinned me to the ground until I promised her an extra serving of canned cat food!

Chris,
I am displeased that you and Scott have been ill. I pray that you are soon fully recovered.

Thanks, I am feeling much better; I think by tomorrow I will be able to ride the exercise bike, something i have not done now in 6 days!
Scott however seems to have had a relapse! His stomach was bothering him much last evening, though, pale as a ghost he did drag himself to school this morning.
