Day 268

After a wrestless "sleep", I swear I didn't get much at all...I woke up with what was still a very sore throat. When I tried to tell Jelly to get out of my way as I was coming downstairs, I realized I was also lacking a voice. It's not completely gone, but it certainly is raspy.

I got the boys ready and did some homework with Zach while Nathaniel played Lego, and Josh laid on the couch. (He's still not feeling well). When it was time, we all got into the car, and I dropped them at school. Josh and I then went to the doctors to see if I could get an appointment, and I was asked to return at 10:20. We went across the street to the bank, only to find out they didn't open until 9:30. We came back to the house and hung out for an hour.

We went back to the doctors and waited til my name was called. The appointment was quick, and after deciphering which medications I was allowed, and which ones I couldn't have, I was given a prescription. I only have to pick it up if my throat's not better by the weekend though, so fingers crossed this goes away tonight.

We went into the bank, got what I thought I needed, but it actually turned out to be useless. Came back to the house, and Josh and I did our separate things. He's now on the computer as it's turned 12 o'clock and that means he's allowed technology. I'm gonna watch "Finding Nemo" and fold laundry. So...couldn't find Nemo...ended up watching "Toy Story" - which was fine. I love that movie too. When that finished, I watched Mr. Bean, and then Josh and I headed out.

We got to the post office at about 10 to 3, and weren't done until 3:06. The two of us couldn't stop commenting on how ridiculous it is in there. We picked the boys up from school, and when we got back to the house, I did Zach's homework with him. He was goofing around when it came to reading, but the fact that we eventually got it done, was good enough for me.

Heloise got in and started making dinner, so I got Nathaniel to start reading to me. That was a bit of a production. He didn't want to read the whole book like he normally does, and kept winging, so eventually I gave up. He's got until Monday to finish 3 books so I'm not too bothered. I got him to do his spellings, and not without complaint - his math. Then he told me he was freezing, and I took his temperature. It was 39. We're hoping the thermometer's broken, but he didn't eat much dinner at all, and laid on the couch until bed so I may have another little boy home from school tomorrow.

As soon as we finished dinner, I didn't even wait for the boys to leave the table. I got up, put my stuff away and boiled the kettle. I came up to get my tea bag, and didn't have the energy to go back down. So I jumped in the shower, then got my tea, and now I'm in bed. I'll be asleep in minutes, and it's only 7:15. It's about time I get a good night's rest. Good Night xx
