Back to Reality

After such a great weekend, I didn't want it to end ~ and of course it had to. I woke up and went for a run this morning. It was a lot harder than usual and I figured it was because of all the fun food I ate this weekend. I got the kids off to school and then laid down because I wasn't feeling good. I ended up falling asleep. When I woke up I had a bunch of sinus pressure, chills even though I was wearing sweats and a blanket, and a stuffed up nose. I felt really disoriented. My symptoms got worse throughout the day.

Halea had an appt for her leg. I was bullied into the appointment by the receptionist. I warned her that I would have to bring my two little boys along for this appointment and she assured me that they would get us back to a room right away. She WAS warned. We waited for a 1/2 hour before getting back to our room and the boys proved that it was a bad idea to bring them. They had fun at the water cooler that flooded and got the floor wet. They looked in the cabinets and drawers and continued to get escorted by the nurses and receptionists back to me. They took several trips to the bathroom that involved me taking all three of them to the bathroom and of course all of us had to wash our hands each time, even if we didn't all use the bathroom. I felt so physically bad and the scoldings my children and I received did not help my emotional well-being. Apollo scolded the nurses back. Halea had to have her cast wedged to straighten her bone that was healing crooked. She wailed while they were doing it. Her sweet brothers were telling the Dr to quit hurting their sister. It was sweet to see their concern.

Ryan had to stay late at school. Ugh. When he gets home he will be on dad duty and I will be on sick in bed duty.
