Groundhog Day

You know the movie, Groundhog Day, where the same day keeps repeating over and over and over?  Well, that's what it feels like here right now (how ironic that tomorrow IS Groundhog Day!).

First Rachel was sick.  That was a week ago.  Then Rebecca got sick a few days later.  Then my husband.  Now it's my turn.  Meanwhile, Rachel and Rebecca are still coughing up a storm, and my husband still isn't completely well, either.  None of us is sleeping well.  So for a week straight, we've been replaying the same cycle.  Fever, chills, lots of blankets, ibuprofen, fever going down, sweating, naps, rinse and repeat a few hours later.  It seems to go in five hour cycles.  But we have to wait six hours to take ibuprofen, so the last hour is hard to endure, and then it takes about a half hour to feel better.  

I'm REALLY TIRED and this can be over anytime now.  I've basically been stuck in the house for an entire week, first for snow, then for cold, then for sickness.  

I feel horrible.  I haven't been this sick in a long time.  And I thought my month long sinus/ear infection in the fall was bad.  At least I could function most of the time during that.  I've been in bed/on the couch for pretty much all of yesterday and today.

Thankfully my husband was able to take a half day off work yesterday to help me, and it's the weekend so he's been here all day today doing everything....cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, you name it.  And he's not even all well yet.  What a guy!  I don't know what I would've done without him today.
