Recovering…FINALLY! January 7, 2009
Well, Monday was initially set aside for, well, work. Those plans were brutally halted when Logan decided to run a high temp (104.5!) for the whole weekend. I went in on Monday morning to put together my sub plans to take him to the doctor, but instead, wound up getting a fever myself. My throat was sore, my fever was increasing, my son was whinning. I wound up stopping at the Walgreens clinic in Alton before taking Logan in to his doctor and low and behold… Strep Throat! Logan wasn’t complaining about a sore throat, but I havd them test for it anyway. Sure enough, he had it too. My mom called. She had it too!!! I’ve spent the past two days in bed or on the couch. I am going stir crazy, but my illness has not allowed me to stand up to do anything. I had to call in sick today because I am still contagious, but was given a very special gift. SNOW DAY! Yes, mom, this is supposed to be spent shopping, but I am just grateful to not have the sick day docked from my total. I hate having subs. I am left with more work before and after than going to work would have been in the first place.
Well, I think that I am finally well enough to take on the 12 year olds tomorrow, at least physically. I have practice for the musical until 5 PM, so here is to a full recovery.
PS: Puppies are adorable when they are dreaming! Rudy must be chasing Logan around the house in his head right now! It makes me want to squeeze his soft little increasingly enormous body!
razors January 1, 2009
So we wpent New Years Eve without Logan for the first time since his birth last night. It was very sad, but he is usually fast asleep by the time the ball drops anyway. I called and sure enough…
We went to my cousin Brittany’s house to celebrate. Good food, fun games, distant cousins, the party had it all, but unfortunatley, my teeth decided that they would rather chew on my cheek. I bit the inside of my mouth so hard that they went all the way through thte skin. Worst part… I did it eating a cracker. SOOOOO not worth it. Then, once the damage is done, it is almost impossible not to make it worse, I bit through it again. This time it was eating a cashew. A little better, but still no bon-bon. It bled everywhere both time and now I am left with a HORRIBLE canker sore. I hope it heals by Monday. Thesse things are impossible to talk with and that makes teaching… complicated. Grrr!
Running with Rudy January 1, 2009
Well, Rudy went for a New Years Eve run with me around my neighborhood. The other day, he lasted for 2 miles and today he flat out refused to move after 1 3/4 miles. I picked him up to carry him home and found that his paws were bleeding. I feel sooooo bad! I didn’t even think about the street being rough on his little enormous puppy paws. I cleaned them up and put salve on them when we got home. I even gave him a manicure. How horrible am I? I think he hates me. Like any son, I’m sure he’ll get over it.
