Literally! What a Valentine's Day present! I have STREP!!!
I have not had strep since... geez, sometime in the 70's, I think. Bummer. Big time.
The bad news: John is out of town. I have a lot of Work (with a capital "W") to do. We're supposed to go away this weekend with our friends to Calistoga. I am missing the kids' Valentine's Day parties at school! AND I was supposed to scrapbook tonight. I feel awful, and my throat is so swollen that I am having trouble swallowing.
The good news: I'm on Amoxycillin. I've got Randi, our nanny, here, and my mom and dad are going to get the kids from school and keep them so I can rest. I have tons to read and a bunch of movies to watch, and the dr. said to TAKE IT EASY for the rest of the week.
So. That's today's news. Hang tight, wash your hands, and say a prayer for me!
Lain..
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I peeked at all of your scrapbooking projects and they are beautiful! Great job!
I'm sorry to hear that you have strep throat. Hopefully you'll get better soon.

sometimes being sick is great because it forces you to rest and you can catch up on movies, etc. and not feel guilty---cuz you have to be a bum!
feel better:)

Hi, since I don't seem to update my blog I thought I'd check on a few others.
I hope the antibiotics have taken hold now! Feel better for your weekend, that sounds like fun.
