rare happy day!

Lately my life has been sort of a mish mash. Sometimes I'm happy, and other times- not so much. People who act happy 24/7 annoy me. I'm not jealous, I just think that's unrealistic and it annoys me. Okay, glad you poop sparkles in the morning, but I don't need to hear about it alllll theeee timeeeee.

On that note, today IS a rare happy day!

Although last night I got no sleep. Slade is sick, and has been coughing and right as I snuggled into bed with him my throat got unbelievably sore. I couldn't swallow, sleep, breathe-- at 5am I woke up and had to turn on our vaporizer. I was freezing, but sweating. Clammy and hot. Achy and sleepy. By 7, Slade was wide awake (to our amazement) because none of us had slept all night.

Dane is a very hard worker, and unlike me he isn't the type to "call in" when he feels sick...or whenever he feels anything. Today I just knew I couldn't be a good mommy with no rest and being so sick. I really felt as if I had the flu. Just that all over, sore body feeling. Not to mention my throat felt like someone had lit it on fire. I begged asked him to call in OR call someone to watch Slade.

This is when I want to be closer to my family. I know I could drop Slade off at my grandmothers, or sisters for the day and rest. Here, I can't. I have a step sister here who would be more than willing, but she is out of town. So, reluctantly he called in...

Drove me to the doctor.
Waited for me to be called back.
Pity laughed at the weirdo male nurse who made jokes about drowning?
Sat in the room with me.
Ran after Slade.
Listened to me whine.
Waited for my strep test to come back.


my negative, negative strep test.
Pretty much the worst news ever, since you can't do anything for a virus!!
AND he had called in for pretty much nothing, although I still felt crappy.

The doctor gave me a script for some pain meds and an antibiotic just in case I started feeling worse in the next couple of days.

Then he drove me to Hardees.
To the Rite-Aid.
Waited at the Rite-Aid.
Drove me home.
And even though he could have stayed home, he went to work.

What a good husband!! I SO appreciate him.

On top of taking the first step to getting well and having a morning with my husband, I got word from my insurance company that made me super happy. I got way more for my car than I originally anticipated. Which means, a nicer car. I found one I'm obsessed with, and if it's not gone already hopefully I can get it. Which makes today, a happy day! I'm feeling really blessed.

And guess what? Tomorrow, my little sleeping snookerdoodle turns 10 months old!!!!!!!!!!!
