C is for Cold

So I hadn't really planned my second C blog this week. Honestly since Tuesday I've felt like a toasted shit sandwich. I'm starting to wonder if I need the help of someone who has taken online nursing classes. It makes it even worse since I breastfeed and hate to take any medication.  I did break down and take a little Theraflu today. I suppose it was a good thing that my new job is doing an audit this week, which meant they chose I start work next week. I just hope I feel better by Monday. Regardless I'll go because lets be honest you can't call in sick your first day of work. So even if I felt like I was on my deathbed I'd go.

I take vitamin c when I'm sick, but other than that I'm leery of taking herbs when breastfeeding. Some of them are not baby friendly. I'd rather not take the chance. Not to mention even if I wanted to I couldn't afford them.

Sorry if my thoughts sound jumbled. I'm kind of out of it for now.

What do you do for a cold?

Ugh. We surrender

Funky Flu Germ's -5 points.

Human's -0 points.

We are all still sick. It's really hit DH hard today. I'm still working on hacking my lung up. So Sorry I haven't read many blogs nor invested time in my own.

No one responded before about doing a guest blog. I'm still open to that. If not that's ok too.

Sorry I'm not Chatty

I think my head might explode soon.  Needless to say I don't feel very witty, or chatty, or creative. The flu has hit hard here. Everyone keeps passing it around. Poor baby man is sick, I'm sick, DH is sick. Everyone is sick sick sick. What's worse, nursing while sick sucks. I'm the type that just wants to sleep till I'm well, and I can't do that because Wyatt is so needy. I also haven't found a medicine that works and is safe to use while breastfeeding. 

I took Wyatt to the doctor today and basically the woman looked at him for a minute, said  yep he's sick and left. UGH. I hate doctors. I know they really can't give him anything at this point though. Wyatt does weigh 19lbs now. I figured he'd be over 20 but he's just under. He's getting so big!

Anyone want to do a guest blog or two? That would help me out. I wouldn't feel so bad for abandoning my lovely witchy reader's. If so send me an email and put "guest blogger" in the subject line so I don't miss it.

DD the Pretender

My lovely, darling, mini me daughter is a pretender. Once in awhile she gets tired of going to school. I think we all get tired of routine. But as a mom, its my job to make sure she goes to school. I remember from her preschool days the nurse advising that she only stay home if she has a fever or is vomiting. I thought that was pretty good advice. But I felt bad when a few days before the fever and vomiting began she felt crappy and didn't want to go to school. So I developed a little system. I'd offer her to stay home when she asked, but it was an automatic you must go to the doctor. I discovered DD does not like to go to the doctor, and if its not that bad, she just chooses to go to school.

This morning DD came in and it went something like this.

*Cough Cough*

DD: "Daddy I don't feel good"

(She always asks daddy first, because he's less likely to say no)

*Cough Cough*

DH: "Whats wrong with you"

*Cough cough*

DD: "My stomach hurts"

*Cough cough*

DH: "Then why are you coughing"

*Cough cough*

DD: "Because my throat hurts too. Can I stay home from school?"

*Cough cough cough*

DH: "I don't know, let me feel your forehead. Hmm. You don't have a temperature."

*Cough cough*

DD: "But I really don't feel good. My stomach hurts and my throat hurts and I have a headache."

*Cough cough, fake cry*

DH: "I don't know, ask mommy"

DD: "Mommy wake up! Daddy said ask you if I could stay home. My throat hurts, I'm coughing, and my head hurts."

*Cough cough cough cough, cry*

ME: "You have two choices, you can stay home and go to the doctor, or you can choose to go to school."

DD: "AHHH. I'll just go to school!" Coughing ends. :)

She would not make a good actress. lol
