Sick Day For Mommy

Got sick?  I did!  All those mommies out there, you know we don't get sick days when you stay home.  If you work outside the home you are blessed enough to at least get 8 hours of peace which counts as your "break" to rest and recover.  That is one of the few things I actually miss about working, maybe the only thing other than the extra money. 

So, let's recap...relocated to a new country, living in a serviced apartment with very little personal items, have two children under the age of 4 and now I am sick!  This is why there have been very few posts this week.  I have a word document with about 4 or 5 partial blog postings but have not had the opportunity to finish them.  Because, as you all know, even when we are sick, life still goes on...like it or not!  I was getting sick the day we arrived, but I was able to deal with it for a few days.  I finally got so bad I went to the doctor.  Not sleeping and coughing so much I wake the other people in the room is not good when your toddler is sleeping in the same room. 

Turns out I had an upper respiratory infection which is fairly easy to cure.  Just a few antibiotics and in two days I was back.  Luckily, at my absolute worst, David was home(Sunday), so I was able to sleep a lot.  I went to the doctor on Monday and had defensive driving on Tuesday.  It was not the best day of my life, as I was not feeling my best and trying to drive on the other side of the road.  But I did pass, which is great!  And I am now getting my feet on the ground here. 

Off to other things before bed now.  More posts to come this week as I finish off some of the more interesting experiences of late.  Just a teaser for you to look forward to...Zoe met her first hooker(yes you read correctly), I ran a stop sign during my driving course, and I spent 30 minutes in the shower crying a couple days ago.  It has been a roller coaster time here!  Stay tuned!!!
