No luck with the doctor's office this morning.  They made me come in for an appointment and then confirmed that I do have strep and gave me the prescription.  I hope my antibiotic kicks in as fast as Bert's because I am so tired of feeling sick.  They say that after you've been on the antibiotic for 24 hours you are no longer contagious.  We are keeping our fingers crossed and praying hard that none of our kids get sick.

I can't seem to catch a break from sickness.  I was sick last weekend and it dragged on for most of the week.  I had about 2 days of feeling like myself again and now I'm sure I have Strep.  Bert's had a sore throat for a few days and finally decided to go have it checked out since his Mom, my Dad, and a lot of others we know have had it recently.  It seems to be making the rounds.  He went to the Instacare tonight (we always seem to get sick on weekends when the doctor's office isn't open) and he does have Strep.  He got started on the antibiotic right away and was feeling better by bedtime.  I'm planning on calling the doctor's office in the morning and hoping they'll call me in a prescription without an appointment because I'm sure that's what I have too.  My throat has never hurt so bad.  It throbs all the time and hurts so much to swallow.

Ben and Becky are in the process of selling their house and spent the day cleaning and packing a few things to be ready to put it on the market.  The kids came over this evening and then spent the night with us so Ben and Becky could keep working and not have extra messes.  All the big kids slept downstairs and watched Curly Sue before they fell asleep and the 3 little girls had a sleepover upstairs in their bedroom.

Jacks made my bed for me today and left a "Service Smiley Face" that he had made in Primary.

They always insist on taking their backpacks with them when we go pick up Rylee from Preschool.

I was laying in bed watching a show tonight and Ry came in to show me her beautiful dress and tell me she was "fabulouser" than anyone else.  I guess we've been reading too many Fancy Nancy books.

I woke up nauseous and sick yesterday morning.  I had a headache, chills and was achy all over.  Bert stayed home from meetings to help and then went to church and the boys helped take care of the little girls for me so I could stay in bed and sleep.  Mom and Dad came by after church and were nice enough to feed the kids lunch and put the girls down for a nap so I could keep resting.  I felt like crap all day and didn't sleep well last night.  I was hoping to feel better this morning but was still sick so Bert stayed home from work to take care of everything while I laid in bed.  He came in to check on me tonight and had a few followers that wanted to be wherever he was.
