Pity Party....

I threw myself one heck of a pity party yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't invite you all. I've been sick since Monday and I had a horrible morning yesterday, so I decided to throw myself a "party".

So, Monday my throat was bothering me when I got to work. I picked up some cold medicine at lunch and some cough drops. The cold medicine wasn't helping much. I got home after work and my throat was killing me and I was starting to get very snotty. Hubby had some liquid gel pills that he used last time he was sick, so I took those and it seemed to help a little better. Piglet was being cooperative. Both Sunday and Monday night, she slept until 5:30!!!! Of course I kept waking up from 4 o'clock on expecting her to wake up anytime to be fed. She's started a new thing where she's fighting sleep and of course being cranky. Isn't she too young for that?

So, Monday night, we had hamburger helper for dinner. Nothing fancy there! We watched Grey's Anatomy from Sunday night. Piglet was doing the sleep fighting thing. I finally cuddled her next to me and held the pacifier in and her eyes started rolling back in her head. What she's fighting to stay awake for, I have no idea!

Tuesday morning, I woke up and I still felt awful. My throat's been killing me and I've got the sinus crud. My morning was just...bad. I'll leave it at that. I ended up in the bathroom at work in tears and I think this problem and everything else just gets me every now and then and I feel so bogged down. One bright spot in my day is that hubby sent me flowers at work! He's such a good husband! He ended up fixing the problem that arose that morning, so I was able to cheer up a bit. I really don't know what I'd do without him! I went home after work and Piglet had just woken up. My mom said she'd only been asleep about 15 minutes...once again fighting it. What's gotten into this kid? If it's not acid reflux, it's gas. If it's not gas, it's pink eye. Sheesh! Hubby gave me a card and a small box of candy. He knew I didn't want much b/c I never finish it. I gave him his gift and a card from Piglet and a card from me. He loved his card from Piglet (and mine too). I had put spaghetti sauce and meatballs in the crockpot yesterday morning, so hubby made spaghetti and popped some french bread in the oven and we ate dinner. What a good hubby fixing that since he knew I wasn't feeling well.

So, Piglet was fussy once again while we were trying to eat. I finally picked her up and just finished my meal holding her. I don't want to spoil her, but for heaven's sake, there's only so much whining I can take! Hubby hit the nail on the head when he said the saying, "Too good to be true" applies to Piglet. She's so cute and perfect that fussiness is her downfall!

Anyway, we watched American Idol and I fed Piglet and put her to bed. She fussed until around 11 and finally fell asleep. Then she woke up around 4 and I got up and fed her and after that she fussed again and kept me awake. I was so frustrated b/c I don't feel well and I just needed to go back to bed for a little while longer and she wasn't having it! Finally, around 5:15, hubby got up and I told him to just let her cry b/c I was going to lay down. She ended up falling back asleep, but not for long. I've heard people say if they dont' get enough sleep during the day they don't sleep well at night. Has anyone else found that to be true?

Anyway, sounds like the "sickies" are going around so please keep us ill people in your prayers. Thanks for your prayers for yesterday. I needed it. I think about all of you and the different things your going through and many prayers are being said!
