I want normal again!
Today being the sixth day my babygirl (5 yrs old) had a fever, my husband put a mask on himself and our daughter and went to the scary “flu clinic” which is set up especially for H1N1 cases. Since no testing is done there is no absolute confirmation that the virus is the H1N1 virus (although everything points to it), we were however reassured to find out that the fever really can last 7-10 days…wow!
On top of everything, she has what looks like the beginning of an ear infection…can you imagine? Hit us while we’re down why don’t you!
Then, I leave the house for the first time in days to pick up extra Tylenol and Motrin at the drugstore. Upon exiting the drugstore, which is just as infested as the scary flu clinic, my car will not start….nothing, not one sound, not one ounce of hope.
Luckily, this was the THE one day my husband was in town this week so he “fetched me” like the knight in shining armour he is, and we later returned and got my car to start (with a boost)…ahhhhh…my hero! Only thing is, we don’t know what happened so I am terrified it will happen again when he is NOT in town to save me!
The fever has gone down as the day progressed so hopefully…we are approaching the end of this miserable episode.
I have to say, I am soooooo looking forward to getting back to our normal life, normal schedule ! I can’t wait to drive the girls to skating and gymnastics, and wait for the school bus in the cold November morning once again! Funny how a little taste of the flu can help you appreciate the normal hustle and bustle of your chaotic world isn’t it?
