Did I ask for it or what?

Come what may and love it? Well, I'm not loving the fact that I'm sick. :P And David too.

David's started on Friday night with him, out of the clear blue sky, "not feeling well". I went to give him a hug and he was burning up! 103.4!!! We dealt with that all weekend. Then Sunday night I started to feel a bit run down with a stiff lower back. Monday morning we took David into the Dr. and the poor kid has the good old fashion influenza. I told the Dr. how I was feeling and he warned me that if I spiked a fever call immediately and they would get me some meds to stop the spreading of the flu. Literally within 2 hours of our visit I had a 101 temp and felt like my back had been run over numerous times by a Mac truck. I haven't felt this terrible since I last took the flu shot. So Dr. Dickson wanted to get me on the antiviral med, Relenza. Now to find that available in all of Whacom County, he had his office call 7 pharmacy's. Of course, the worst customer service pharmacy, Walgreen's in Bellingham, was the ONLY place it could be found. They called in my perscription at 3:30 pm. Rob went in at 6:00 pm on his way home from work and it STILL wasn't ready. It took them 45 minutes to process and put a silly label on the box. But I have to tell you, this is a miracle drug. I felt SO much better by the 3rd dose. Now David, on the other hand, couldn't take this since we didn't catch it within the first 48 hours. He now has a secondary ear infection and is on antibiotics.

So as you can imagine both David & I have been couch puppies and sleeping A LOT! And we are so tired of eating popcicles, soup and smoothies. We both are ready fo life to return to our normal, busy, crazy calendar life.

So in the meantime, I've been tagged by Alicia. It's the photo tag:

• go to the place on your computer where you store all your pictures and open the 4th folder. open the 4th picture. post the picture and give an explanation of what it is. tag 4 people. do not cheat!! you cannot edit or crop the picture!!

Here's what I found. I have 2 photos because when I pull up the files on my computer they come up in alphabetical order. This picture comes up.

2006 Crazy times! I think it was a tickle fest on David since he's in the offical "tickle seat".

To get to the link, they come up in numerical order and this one comes up.

WOW! Christmas 2004. Our first Christmas without Robert being able to come home. Loooong story on that one. I find this photo very sweet opening the stockings. But notice what Amber has on her lap. That's Buddy. One of Robert's old stuffed animals his Grandma DeWees made for him before she died. Amber carried this around the entire day! Her way of having Robert with her. So Jessica, now you know a part of the story that I don't think we've ever told Robert.

Now to go make David a Strawberry smoothie. If you want to do this tag, feel free. It is kind of fun to see what comes up.
