Feeling Poorly

I'm giving in and accepting that I am ill. I have a swollen lip with blisters and cold sores, mt glands are so big and sore I can't lie down. My ears are sore my nose is just streaming again. So at 8am I will be phoning the GP and ensuring I get seen as there's definitely something which I can't shake off. It's been going on and off for weeks so it's time to take action.

If it had been one of my children they would have been at the GP's much sooner than this. It's time for me to take care of myself as if I can't look after myself how can I look after children? Sometimes us adults need to take a step back and remember to look after ourselves otherwise we end up so involved in the children's world that we forget to properly care for ourselves.

Hope that we can resume normal service soon as I feel so awful.

I'm Still ill

I have 2 days until our holiday and I am now full of a full blown cold. I think the time has come to drink nothing but orange juice and eat oranges to get Vit C. I feel dreadful and all I want to do is sleep.

I'm not in the least bit ready for our holiday and dh is away out tonight to watch the football with his dad. So looks like I need to rest today and pack tomorrow as well as shopping.

Kids are both hyper and keep discussing sleeps to centre parcs and who's sleeping where (sounds like I'm in a tent outside).

So lets get my vit C and get me well again.

No Well.... and Brownie Bingo

I reckon my friend gail, who's lurgy has left her house has reached me. I feel so poorly with sore head, feeling a bit pukey and so cold even though I was wrapped in a duvet and had the heating on full blast.

I blame dh it's all his fault. He brought a cold in which he and E seem to have fought off easily.

Anyway on Tuesday, Eilidh's brownies were having a bingo night for charity. Although I'm not sure which charity it was for. We got 6 cards on a page and played box number 1 for a line in which the winner won a cream egg. Then 2 lines for another cream egg. Then full house for an easter egg.

We were on the 3rd game for a full house with Eilidh moaning "I've got no numbers!" Only had 3 more numbers to get when Eilidh suddenly jumped up and yelled BINGO. Considering she had no numbers she suddenly got them all for a bingo and a Caramel Easter Egg. She was delighted and it set up the competition at our table for one of the others to get an egg. Which Gemma did get after being determined her mum would win.

Anyway 2 more days to the big dance show and I am nervous. I can't wait to see how Eilidh has progressed and I am so proud of how she has come on since she she broke her heel. Will post some piccies at the weekend.
