sick kiddo

Jessica has the worst sore throat and a fever. She is miserable and now we both are lacking sleep. She was up all night in pain and she can't take pain. She moaned every few seconds ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I slept with her in living room. ...or I should say didn't sleep. No sleep. Plus she kicks and thrashing about because she can't stand the pain. YOu probably think I should have taken her to ER....no not Jess. She just have a VERY LOW pain tolerance. Elizabeth had the same illness last week. She was in alot of pain, only ate ice cream for 2 days, took advil, tylenol and just dealt with it. Jess can't deal with it. She is a little better this morning, so she is upstairs SLEEPING. ugh. Oh, and for those of you that don't know us, you may think Jessica is a small child. She is 17! She is a big baby when it comes to pain and discomfort.

I can't seem to catch a break. Today was supposed to be my day. I scheduled this day off from work so I could just do stuff around the house. I have projects that I want to work on and I LOVE having the house all to myself. (Tom will be out with his mom). SInce I was up all night, no sleep, I don't feel very productive. I'm disappointed. You see, 2 weeks ago I had a Friday scheduled off just for me, but Thursday I got a call that my mom was being transported to the hospital by ambulance. So I spent that night and a lot of "my Friday" at the hospital. I guess I'm not supposed to take a day for myself...it just isn't happening.
