3 of us

All three of us have strep throat. All three of us are on antibiotics. All three of us haven't slept normally for over a week. All three of us are tired, grumpy and being mean. All three of us need a break from each other.

Well meaning relatives are trying hard to help, but none of them want to be encountered by the nasty strep bug. Although wisdom suggests that either or both families were the bringers of such a bad bug.

Thankfully, I've listened to that mommy intuition that said, "white spots on a swollen throat equals strep" and got them into the Dr within hours. Also good mommy intuition told me that I don't feel so well, and got me into the Dr., after only and hour and a half in the waiting room. 4th time in 6 months. Serious talk about taking parts of me that were meant to be there out. Too bad I've got Truman cooking for another 6 months. Or too good. Either way, things are sticking put for the time being. Including all my kids. Don't be bringing your nasty strepy kids anywhere near my kids (another rant for another time). Or me for that matter. Okay, especially me. My kids seem to kick it fine, but I tend to duplicate the nastiness in my defective tonsils.

So that is the update on how my life has been. Incomplete, I might add, but you really don't want to know the rest.
