House of germs

Steve has some kind of flu bug. He came home from a 16 hr shift at Kellogg's feeling punky - body aches, throat on fire, sinus congestion/pain, chills. He spent most of Sunday in bed (except for dragging his butt to the photo session at Sears, poor man) and woke up this morning feeling a lot better. His side of the bed is SOAKED! He must have sweat it out.

Stef is still very snotty, sneezy, coughing. And I can NOT get that antibotic in her. I've hidden it in OJ, choc milk, pink milk, applesauce, etc. I've tried just squirting it in her mouth and making her swallow it, but it always just comes back out, usually all over me. I think she's gotten a total of maybe 2-1/2 doses out of the 6 I tried giving her. So I called the pedi and they're going to call in Omnicef, which is supposed to taste good.

I still have sinus congestion/pain like crazy and my throat's fire comes and goes. I was actually feeling body-achey this morning, but not so much now. I can't have any more sick days this year anyway, or I'll get a verbal warning!

MIL pissed me off pretty good this morning. I was supposed to be meeting her at the doctor's office for the Stef hand-off because she had a lab appt. I swear she said the appt was at 8:30, so I show up at 8:20. She's not there. She's not answering either phone. The front desk says her appt is not until 8:45. Finally at 8:35 she shows up. Dammit woman! I'm supposed to be at the post office at 8:30! She holds me up and makes me later just about every single day. It's funny that I can be on time on the days Stef goes to my mom's. Grrrr. Okay, vent over.

Hope everyone starts feeling better. My mil holds me up every morning and every afternoon. I know the feeling. Especially Friday afternoon and all I want to do it go home.

Grrrrrr at your MIL - that would make me sooo mad, too. Freaking aggravating!

Hope Stef feels better soon!! She's got some goodies on the way that will hopefully cheer her up.

And don't get your hopes up on the Omnicef. Ella won't take it either. They do make chewable antibiotics if Stef is into that kindof thing. Ella won't take those either.
