Long Week .. at Tuesday


The whole issue of I make plans and God laughs completely applies here .. LOL.  I'm so sick at the moment and I'm in a whiney mood to boot.  I'll admit it would be nice if someone were here to take care of me and just let do me.  Literally I have made it through two 1/2 days of work and I really need to just stay home I do not have that luxury though.  Because of that the kids are driving me insane they think that I'm on normal operating mode and I'm just not .. my temper is short as well as sharp.  I keep getting hit with stupid things and I'm having this on going dialog with ok God .. so not funny .. lol .. I'm kind of done.  My oldest called me to inform me I needed to pick up my youngest because he was staying for a school activity.  I'm at the store my face is on fire I'm sure I have a fever again and I just stopped her and said no .. I'm coming home and I am staying home.  You can stay with him or you can come home I'm not going back out it's to cold and I'm without a doubt MISERABLE!!  What part of I am sick is not translating? 

It also doesn't help I'm suppose to be being trained and it's definitely not happening this week.  I'm not staying after 1pm as I just can't take it. 

I've been taking work calls and I don't mind .. some of this stuff no one else can answer so it just goes with the territory of making sure it all gets done. 

Well I had a good laugh at myself because here I am at Target with my cold medicine and Gatorade which I probably should have gotten from work ... lol .. and a very nice young man who has helped me in the store chatted a bit .. poor kid .. normally I'm pretty chatty patty he said the nicest thing and asked what I had done different to my hair and how nice it looked I'm here to tell you I look like a hot mess .. LOL.  I said I'm honestly not feeling well and you just made my day.  Thank you.  I should add to a side story I got called Grandma and to know me is to love me the look I gave the 20something and trust me there is nothing wrong with being a grandma .. it just so happens the title has not been earned .. by me .. LOL.  Anyway, that happened on Valentine's Day and that poor kid who called me that LMAO ... I seriously doubt he will make that mistake again .. I was nice however it was a good lesson in never make assumptions and I KNOW I did not look like a Grandma .. LOL.  My son was so funny and said I doubt that guy will do that again .. LOL.  My boy followed that by saying it's probably better not to make those kinds of assumption and I said absolutely 3 things you never say to a woman .. how old are you, are you pregnant, or how much do you weigh.  He laughed and said .. well that guy knows not to ask you those things.  Smart kid. 

I know I'm in the throws of HHALTS and I'm 4 possibly all of those things at the moment so my inner Athena is snapping.  I have learned a few things and had a good laugh about some other things.  Sigh .. hopefully I have a job .. LOL. 

Really praying that this ick goes away as fast as it came in .. on a side note I slept so dang good last night it was about stupid.  Seriously 830PM straight through to 430AM that is HUGE for me as someone who usually sleeps about 3 - 4 hours a night.  So I am beyond stupid when it comes to tired and I believe I'm headed for another good nights rest.  I just hope I feel better.  I don't think it's the flu .. I do think it's a rocking cold/chest deal my fevers are only coming in the afternoon I seem to hold it together in the AM. 

At one point I did have to verbally tell someone today is just not the day to screw around with me.  Honestly I'm not like that.  Immediately the recognized that I was very agitated and realized how awful I felt and backed off, by apologizing.  I'm just really done at the moment and reminding myself this too shall pass and unless I want to have to apologize to more people than necessary it would be a good thing to remember this .. LOL. 

S :)

I understand that feeling. I hate illnesses like that: when you feel somewhat functioning in the AM and then you hit noon and it's all downhill. I do hope you feel better by tomorrow, I know this has been dragging on you all week. Sending you hugs and love and support today!
