I am SICK of being SICK!!!!

Nathan brought home a cold his second week of school. That was like a month ago. I've been fighting it all this time, and finally decide to call the doctor last Tuesday morning because I couldn't breath and they couldn't get me in until Wednesday. After I got off the phone I realized I had hives all over my body, I'd wondered why I woke up so itchy. I think it was from taking Mucinex. So I decided to go to PromptCare and the doctor there was a rude jerk. All he did was give me a prescription for my rash and didn't even worry about the other issues. Then I took Nathan to the doctor that afternoon (he goes somewhere different than me and they could actually get him in) and his doctor just said it was a cold and he'd be fine, and it was okay for him to go to school. I'd decided to keep my appointment for Wednesday and they told me there that I have a sinus infection and asthmatic bronchitis. So now I'm on three drugs and really not feeling any better. In fact, I feel worse, because I can't take anything to relieve the symptoms temporarily. I'm just on an inhaler and antibiotics and something for the hives which have finally gone away. But my chest is starting to feel better, I can somewhat breathe again, but guess what? Now we've got another round of colds started and my head is REALLY stuffed up again! It is SOOOOO annoying! Matthew has it this time around. Hopefully we all get healthy here before too long, but now with Nathan in school I think we're going to have this problem a lot more often!!!

Okay, so that was long and boring! Anyway, we have done some fun things this week. Saturday we went to my Grandma's house in Bluffton to have a surprise birthday party for my Dad's 50th birthday. He actually was surprised, even Nathan managed to keep the secret. It was fun, all his brothers and sisters were there. It was a little weird having everyone together without my Grandpa being there. Matthew finally got to meet his Great Great Grammy who is 95.

Here's another complaint...what's up with it being 90 stinkin' degrees in October??? This is usually my favorite time of year. I love fall, I love "sweatshirt weather" but it's really hard to get into the autumn spirit when it's this hot!

I think that's it for now. Sorry for all the complaining! I sound so negative!
