********* Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I'm sick. I have a sinus thing. I don't think it's the flu. I feel icky. No energy. My body aches. Kinda the 'I got hit by a bus' feeling. And my stepchildren are coming over tonight and staying until Monday. And dsd has the flu for sure. My little boys have played waaaaay too many electronic toys today, while I drag myself around, just trying to make sure everyone has clean clothes and food. That's all I've got energy for. And dh brought home his cpap machine last night, and was stressed about using it. And I'm sick. And I have no one irl to help me. And I'm sick. And clearly, I'm whiney when I'm sick.:tongue_smilie: We home church, and our last fellowship fell apart for various reasons. So I don't even have any church 'family' I can call on to help me. I feel lonely, and sick, and tired, and achey, and I didn't spell that right. Edited November 12, 2009 by bethanyniez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I know what you're going through - first hand! I'm still recovering from a sinus infection. I felt better after my fever broke and then I tried to do too much and I'm paying for it. I forgot how old your kids are. Can one of them help out with dinner? This is what the tv was created for!!! Slip in a good movie for the kids and you can doze. Where are you again? I know you're in the Detroit area. I'd be happy to bring over something if it's not too far - chicken soup with fresh bread? Spaghetti? Nacho makings? Let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Jennifer, you're so sweet. :001_smile: I actually stocked the freezer last week with dinner foods. Wasn't sure at the time why; now I'm thanking the Lord for the prompting. I'm just feeling icky. And whiney. And I think it stinks that I can't take the day off if I'm sick. Ever. E.V.E.R. If dh is sick, he can stay home and stay in bed. If I'm sick, I still gotta do what I do. Being the mom and wife is hard. :( Usually I love it. But not when I'm sick.

hsmom3tn Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 :grouphug: So sorry, I am feeling icky, too. :( My nose is stuffy, I'm coughing, and my throat hurts. I've been hoarse the past few days, and today I can't talk at all. My kids are loving that. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do say that misery loves company, right. :001_smile: And yeah, I think my litle boys have been enjoying the 'mommy is too sick to care' day we had today. Am I the only woman who feels even worse because she's not mothering 'properly' when I'm sick? I feel bad that school didn't get done today, that the boys ate sandwiches for lunch instead of something warm. I feel bad that I didn't pack my husband's lunch this morning. It all makes me feel even worse. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sorry to hear about your sinus problems. Prayers that you get over it quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Ugh. I am so sorry. I know how you feel. I am on day 10 of what sounds like the exact same thing. Yesterday was the first day I didn't feel all foggy - just stuffy. Now my son has it... he actually relatively okay... just a little stuffy and covered in hives! Eeek. We'll be praying that you all feel better soon and can enjoy your weekend of sitting around watching movies. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen in VA Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I'm sorry to hear you're sick. Don't be too hard on yourself. If the house is still standing and all the children are still alive and not bleeding, then you're doing great! Just rest and let them play.

Blueridge Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I am so sorry! We've all had the never-ending crud here, too. It's nasty and awful, but today I am feeling better! So remember this, too shall pass!! Put on your most cozy clothes and wrap up in a soft blanket and sip some warm tea.

3lilreds in NC Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Bethany, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. I have had many, many sinus infections, and they are terrible. Do you live in MI? I was looking at my palm trying to figure out if that's what your location means. If you live near Dearborn, I can send my MIL to help you. She's very helpful, and would probably not make you as nuts as she does me. :D She's great to have around when you're sick. :grouphug: I hope you feel better soon!

Tree House Academy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm sorry you are sick. I am whiney when I am sick too - probably because I am not sick very often. When I do get sick, though, I make up for not having been sick for awhile. I hope it is not the flu! I also hope your step dd doesn't pass on the fun. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Can I join the pity party? I went to the dr. well on Tuesday and feel like death warmed over today, and my family wants homemade pumpkin pie for dessert. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3byzaz Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 OK - I need to whine toooooo!!! I have H1N1 just after all three boys got over it - it's nasty! Day 3 of the fever and coughing - terrible coughing...and I am sooo bummed that I can barely get school done or anything - am losing my voice today too. And, mostly, I am bummed about taking medicine just to function at all. My youngest was better, but woke up saying there was water coming out of his ear and it hurt to touch. My mom had to come and get him and take him in - he has an ear infection - perforated eardrum... I can't wait for this to be over!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all makes me feel even worse. Ugh. Nope, you're not alone there either. I am really upset about not getting school done. My DS has been feeding his sisters today. He cooked omelets for them for breakfast because I was in bed til noon... that's what happens when your Nyquil wears off at 4:30 in the morning and you don't want to get up so you take some more.... I'm going to try to throw something together for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luanne Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have been really grumpy myself this week, but like you I just don't feel well ... achy ... headache ... slight fever ... I went to the doctor on Sunday and indeed I do have a sinus infection. Those things do make a person feel miserable. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
