So the Orionids have come and gone once again, and did I do outside to watch them? No. Have I ever? No. I have wanted to, but for some reason, I never get to. Something always comes up. This year....I'm pretty sure I had the swine flu. I mean, there really is no evidence to back up my claim. I haven't had a fever, or aches and pains other than my chest cavity and everything connected to it, and I didn't go to the doctor....so logically...........fuck logic. I had H1N1, and I almost died. The WORST cold I have ever had in my life. Came out of nowhere that sneaky fuck and then when I woke up today....PERFECT! WTF? How could I go from literally wishing I could go into a coma until it was gone one day, to perfection the next day? My mother used to tell us when we were kids that she couldn't afford to be sick. She didn't have time to. I always thought she was crazy because you can't choose to be sick or not, it just happens. But this week it has been proven to me that I need to be the toughest shit possible. I can't talk because it hurts, but I have to talk, I have no choice. So I do. But then, because I am talking when I shouldn't be talking, I lose my breath, and eventually, my voice. I only lost my voice for about an hour because I forced it to come back. My breath however, has yet to fully return. Even today, when I feel "perfect" I still need to take a time out every 30 minutes to have breathing time. GOD I hate being sick. And I hate even more that when I'm sick, I can't rest and take baths and go to sleep whenever I feel like it. I hate that when Landon is sick, he gets to stay home from work and lay in bed all day while I make him soup and feed him Sudafed through a tube. Aeh motherhood. I'll never give it up. Hayden lost his fourth tooth today. His first tooth he lost less than a year ago. I don't remember ever losing that many teeth in one year. He's got two that are loose as well. Well at least he doesn't expect $20 per tooth because the Tooth Fairy is not made of money....although it would be nice if she was. There are so many teeth in my house now that I think about it....and even more to come. Elch....that's gross.
