Tierd of feeling SICK

I don't get sick often, but when I do, I really hate the feeling. 

When I'm sick, I'm basically turn into a hunchback, old woman in sweats, roaming back and forth in the house clutching a coffee mug, or I plant myself in front of the couch with a blanket and watch T.V.  There is just so much of Tyra Banks and Oprah that I can really stand.  How do people stand watching T.V. all day?  Judge Judy is mean, and everyone on Jerry Springer is just plain nasty.  Where do they find these people?!  And who gave Flava Flav permission to do a re-cap of the Flavor of Love this past weekend?  I want to know which fool was picked this week!!  Hoops or New York.  Lord have mercy, there are some really stupid people on T.V., and here am I just sucking it all in...  I just feel YUCKY. 

 I first felt sick Saturday evening.  Me and hubby were watching Wedding Crashers.  (Not a movie for kids---you have been warned.)  It had some funny parts, but all the same, I found it a bore.  Hubby fell asleep during the end.  That should tell you something.  Anyways, as I made my way up the stairs to bed; I suddenly found myself so tierd and so dizzy.  I feel asleep like a log, but woke up with plugged ears, dizziness, and nausea.  Lovely.  Good thing I had done the grocery store shopping and cleaned the house earlier Saturday, because Sunday, I felt like the bloated, old woman in the bathrobe.  I watched a lot of T.V., and sat through the Oscars...all of it...  Let me tell you--it was VERY BORING.  I don't know how I sat through it but I did; but it felt like torture at times.  I just couldn't bring myself off the couch--no energy, and frankly, I thought I would throw up if I did.  Oh what a feeling...

Yesterday, wasn't much better.  My poor son turned into my personal slave boy.  "Honey, can you give me a can of 7-Up?"  "Can you throw me that blanket?"  "Can you run upstairs and get me a pillow?"  Poor thing must of wished he went to school afterall.  I stayed home from work, and my son didn't go to school.  My work is close to my son's school, however, work and school is about 20 miles away from where we live.  It involves commuting from San Jose to Santa Cruz, and frankly, I don't think I could have made the drive; over the hill that day.

As I sit here at work, I don't know how I did it this morning; but I did.  If it wasn't for my son's school, I would have probably stayed home, although being sick with a baby, you really can't be sick.  I do not suggest ever emptying a Diaper Genie when you are sick.  I almost fainted.  So, I dropped off Andrew at school, and the baby at my moms, so I could have a "break" at work.  I just hope nobody actually saw me coming in to the building, holding a coffee cup, a liter of 7-Up, and a package of white saltine crackers.  I'm wearing overalls to work.  Sure, I made some people do a double take, but I don't give a rat's ass today.  (Oh dear, I said the A word---how so unlike me.  Suprisingly, I did a lot of work this morning with few interuptions--this is good, but my ears are killing me.  I'm going to make it an early day.
