I woke at 3am this morning, covered in perspiration and unable to swallow.
After Norah was off to kindergarten, I loaded 3 unhappy children into the car and headed to the urgent care where I waited an hour for the highly anticipated pronouncement of "you tested positive for strep and your son has an ear infection".
By the time these diagnoses and a few perscriptions were laid upon me, I was late to pick up Norah. I raced back to Traverse Mountain, waited my turn in line, buckled her in and headed back into Lehi.
We waited our turn in line at the Walgreen's drive through and were told it would be at least a half an hour. Rosemary took great exception to this and told me in baby speak that she was done waiting.
With my baby now nestled in her bed and still no antibiotics (but great amounts of perspiration), it is with great pride that I say, at least I am done decorating for Christmas.
My house is warm, my fireplaces are lit, I am highly contentious and confrontational (I just picked a fight with the furnace repair man who repaired the furnace at our rental and got $85 off of our bill) and I am contagious-so watch out for me.
This is what I get for forgetting to list the 'luxury' of good health.
