Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...

THE FLU!

Seriously- I can never recall ever having the flu before. Somehow I ended up with it and let me tell you it is brutal.

The sappy romantic dinner for two which I had planned for Valentines day was devastatingly interrupted by the onslaught of a fever which litterally knocked me on my behind.

I woke yesterday morning with a fever of 102.9 and spent the day aching from head to toe. I swear my hair even hurts!

Went to the doctor, had a culture taken and was sent on my way.

Today I woke with a fever of 103.1 JUST LOVELY. Hubby had to work and it was just me and the midget. Boy was today rough. I feel as if I spent most of it snapping at the midget who really just wanted to make Mama feel better. HEY- she even ate TOMATO SOUP today!! This is a HUUUUUUUGE thing for her ridiculously picky pallet! She even LIKED IT!!!!!!!!!!

I can't eat because now it just keeps coming back up. (Insert GAG here! UGH!)
Can't stop Coughing...
Can't seem to get warm...
The Tamiflu I am taking makes me feel WORSE!

I seriously would not wish this on my worst enemy in the whole world.

On the up side... Two good things have come from this
1) THIS girl WILL be getting a flu shot next year
2) The midget ate TOMATO SOUP! add one more food to her short short menu :)

I wonder what I have to do to get her to eat a meat that does not come in the form of a chicken nugget....

OK- So I am done whining for now. I think I will go and eat some more water ice. Seems to be the only thing my stomach likes these days.

Until next time...
