When mommy goes down...

My Hubby has been away quite a bit this month so far....Bamfield for 4 day and then a week in Ontario visiting with family.  It's been exhausting so say the least.  Yesterday I woke up with a headache and as the day progressed it turned to aching and chills all over my body.  I managed to get the kids fed, in their Pj's and I put them to bed.  The oldest is pretty independent so she can fend for herself.  I crawled into bed at 8:30...told A to turn her light off at 9:00 pm.  I put three extra blankets on and I still couldn't get warm.  I woke up at midnight and was so hot that I quickly took off the blankets...and had a difficult time falling back sleep.  All I could think of was that I had to get up at 5:15, have a shower and then my day would start.  I don't have an option....  There are times that I really wish I had family here to come to the rescue.  I want my mommy.  Today is no better...in fact it's worse.  I'm starting the day with chills and aches.....All I can think about it getting home...crawling into bed.  But before that I need to feed the kids, make sure HW is done, brush their pearly whites, get them into their Pj's again...and then I can crash.  When the hubby returns tomorrow he will have his hands full as I run myself a tub and close the door to the bathroom....a bit of quiet time to kick this bug.
