Sick and tired, but not in the ranting way…
I am sicker than hell.
As in, for the last three damn weeks I’ve been fighting off the plague, just to have it mock me and take residence in my chest. Which is phenomenal, don’t get me wrong, but no place for the plague. (That’s today’s attempt at being cocky. I am a future paramedic after all!)
Now some of you would say that I’m ALWAYS sick. That’s not true. For the most part I feel just fine, minus the aches and pains that most of us feel from having to lift 350lb patients and carry them down a few steps without a lift assist.
I’m a fan of Ibuprofen and ice packs. Just putting that out there. I should own stock in Advil and Absorbine Jr.
This is different.
Honestly, hand to God, I have only felt worse one other time, and that was when I was preeclamptic with FC.
The little ones aren’t doing much better. SWR has been coughing for just as long. At least her fever has broken. FC is doing a little better, all he has left to deal with is the runny nose. So yeah, this really sucks.
Despite being sick, she’s still in the game.
Right now I’m fighting off the feeling to vomit up a lung.
School today? Yeah, epic fail. Not even going to tell you how my assessment scenarios went in detail. Another post for another day.
Epic fail.
So yes, I feel like shit. Yes, I’m whining. Yes, my kids, while being so young are actually dealing with the same symptoms like rockstars while I choose to blog about how (boo frickin’ hoo) sick I feel.
It’s how I’m rolling tonight.
Hope you’re all well. And I’ll post something when I feel less like dog feces.
Be safe out there

Epi, my friend,
Have you been lurking in my shadows the last few weeks? Same cough, along with the fever blister from hell in my throat which means its hell to eat, swallow or even breathe! Same epic fail in ECG yesterday? We have to be related to say the least! And yes, the same wonderful kids who just keep chugging along!
Hang in there! I am told that we will eventually get better! but I think I’ll believe it when I see it!
I feel for you. Was out of circulation for a week – to the point I was sleeping during the day – and this only happens when I am really really sick – and hubby never even turned the TV on one day (and that NEVER happens!). Went back to work after a week – still with the cough – no temp – no appetite – and no energy. 2 weeks later I am FINALLY starting to feel as to I am going to survive – and just have that dry cough that is so irritating – it only comes when you have to talk to someone. So keep the faith – you will eventually get thru it!
