I made up a poem for all of you....

Kind of like Haiku, except not exactly.
But here it goes anyway...

twenty ten...

the MONO

strikes again

Yep. You don't even have to be well versed in Japanese poetry and you can understand those lines. 

I have been feeling tired for a while (but it was the holiday season, wasn't everyone tired?), had a headache for almost a month (but chalked it up to the stress of having a sick little girl and the holiday season), and have complained to T-5 many mornings since my 37th birthday (Thanksgiving day this year) that getting old was REALLY bad....as I would ache every time I pulled myself out of bed.

But last night when we sat at the dinner table and T-5 said my cheeks looked flush, and I added that my lymph node in my neck was swollen and extremely tender, I decided maybe I needed to go seek help from real medical professionals. Honestly, if there wasn't a big event (a post on that to come soon) coming up next week that I need to be really healthy for, I probably would have let things rock on for a while longer....because that's what moms usually do, handle things for everyone else and then worry about yourself, eventually.  

So, the doctor swabbed me for strep(just in case) and took some blood to check for the Mono.  No strep, thankfully, but confirmed I do have Mono.  Lovely.  Baby Girl is still recovering from the Mono herself. This should be such fun and a great way to ring in 2010, wouldn't you say?  Sarcasm, it's my specialty, especially when I'm tired. Sick and tired.  Sick and tired of the Mono.
