Just Stuff

Friday I attempted to go back to work. I got up, got ready and went in. By the time I got there my stomach was hurting again and my head was spinning. I called the doctor at 8 to see if I could possibly get in sometime that day. They could get me in around 2:30, so I called down to let someone know and they ended up just sending me back home at 8:30. There were lots of kids out sick, so it worked out okay. Probably good that I left because I couldn't think straight. Seriously. I made one of my babies their breakfast and 20 minutes later he was crying and I couldn't figure out why. Then it hit me. His food was still on the counter. Oops! Poor little guy!

My appointment resulted in my doctor sending me for a blood test, and then informing me that I just have a nasty viral infection and also a sinus infection...so at least I got drugs for something, but I didn't even know I had a sinus infection!

Yesterday morning I staying in my PJ's til noon and watched Meet the Parent's with Jacob. I finally showered and ate some soup and then went to Wal-Mart with Jacob to get some gifts I needed for my work Christmas party today and for Jacob to get things for his elementary Christmas concert for tomorrow night (if that even happens now). Then we came home and watched Meet the Fockers and ate pizza. Yep. I was finally up for something other than toast and soup. I made some sugar cookies and about halfway through I started feeling sick again. Once I was finished my headache had returned so I laid on the couch and watched the end of Meet Me In St. Louis since it was on TCM.

This morning Jacob woke me up and told me it snowed! It really didn't seem bad until we had to drive home from church. WOW! There were spots where there were total white out conditions. Not fun. Plus it's FREEZING cold out. Have I ever  mentioned that I don't like snow very much and I loathe winter?

This afternoon we had our work Christmas party. No one informed me it was at my boss' house though so I went to the daycare first. Oh well! It was a fun party. I snacked a little and my stomach didn't hurt too bad afterward. I had one coworker tell me, "You look better! You've got your color back!" Then before I left another coworker said, "You still look a little pale and weak" Don't really know which comment was true!

We played a few games. Had our Secret Sister reveal and had a fun gift exchange which included stealing! Our boss gave us all hoodies with the daycare name on it. My Secret Sister gave me a Hawkeye blanket! Plus I was the last person to go in the gift exchange so I got to steal pretty much whatever I wanted. I took a $15 Maurice's gift card so I can get some new jeans! Here's a few pictures...the rest are up on Facebook.

Tomorrow will be my first whole day back since last Monday. I'm thinking it should be pretty easy. School has already been cancelled in Taylorville for tomorrow. I keep telling Jacob his school will call off tomorrow too (I've got good vibes) but he says they'll still have school. I hope not. I want to drive Lola and not the death-mobile!
