Here are the demands:
- juice. in the orange form.
- a live in nanny.
- sleep. lots of it. uninterrupted.
- antibiotics
- IB
- someone to come pack the various boxes/suitcases for this long vacation.
- someone to pick and the make jam out of some blackberries... and maybe raspberries. is there such thing as raspberry jam?
- my children to stay in bed. please.
- for the fever to go away... and stay away.
- for someone to feel very sorry for me. throw me a pity party and then let me sleep.
- for someone to tell me it's okay that my kids ate some chicken, crackers, and frozen blackberries. of which they ate... the chicken.
- food. but none that is a) in this house and b) that i don't have to make.
- someone to come move my legs in the running motion so that i don't completely fail at the c25k only 4 weeks in.
- hell, while we are making demands. 2 million dollars.
- to be well by the time we leave on sunday for our trip. the ped was joking today that we might have to cancel the vacation. thought i was going to hit him. alas, i didn't have the energy.
oh yeah. the kids are both afflicted with this hostage takeover. however, they don't seem to notice it like i do. my throat feels like it is lined with glass...the tiny shards that you can't find and hurt like hell. i'm alternately freezing cold and burning hot as the IB takes effect and then wears off. they are a little lethargic, but that's it. they both have had one dose of antibiotics...i'm waiting fro jerry to come home with the juice and meds... which he will pick up after class.... that ends at 9. sigh. i took a boiling lava, turns your skin bright red, shower tonight. thought that the steam would help the pain... and that if i stood in there long enough my kids would simply put themselves to sleep. neither happened. alas. i told the kids they were on their own tonight. heh. yeah right.
here's to a better tomorrow and hopes that i can get everything done on my list and feel ready and not rushed to leave on sunday.
