Random things I learned this week

First and foremost, I have the flu.  UGH.  I feel terrible.  The worst part of having the flu and being a mom is you can't take the day off.  You still have to get everyone ready, make food, round up lunch, figure out a way to get your son to and from preschool that doesn't involve moving from the couch. 

I went back to sleep while he was at school.  I stil don't feel better.  I caled off work.  I still don't feel better.  I had two freezepops to eat all day.  I still don't feel better.  I took pepto bismol...I still don't feel better. 

My daughter's have a half day of school today.  They will be home shortly.  Maybe one of them will get me some tylenol.  I really don't want to get off of the couch.

That is how terrible I feel.

As for things I learned this week, they are as follows:

• Getting a flu shot may actually be a good idea;
• Traveling round trip 6 hours; so you can be at your grandfather's viewing all in one day is totally worth it.  Even when you know you are starting to feel sick.
• Friends are always there when you need them; whether it's to watch your dog when they already have two of their own or to drive your son to and from preschool so you can take a nap;
• No matter how bad you feel, someone out there probably feels worse.  Count your blessings.
• My dog is good company when I don't feel well and I'm all alone.
