Medical update for those who are interested: After round one of antibiotics cleared up my sinuses by moving the illness along to my lungs, I went back to the doctor on Friday. Two hours, 1 chest x-ray, and $200 later (my insurance SUCKS), I left with a diagnosis of a severe case of bronchitis and pleuritis in my left lung, and prescriptions for a new antibiotic, prednisone, and an inhaler.
I'm fine, just coughing a lot. The bizarre concoction of medications (along with all the stuff I take every day anyway) seems to be slowly helping, but has left me with major heartburn, a need to pee every 30 minutes, and a disastrous case of insomnia last night (Lost a Sock, I caught up on your blog at about 3:00 am last night, so if my comments do not make any sense, you'll know why).
My dearest, most wonderful husband took the children to his parents all day today, so I have been able to rest, relax, and drift in and out of sleep. And also, to do this:

I feel so pretty! But I cannot type with these dragon claws on. Nor can I unbutton my own pants, open a can of soda, or fix my own hair. I think I am beginning to remember why I left the acrylic nails behind when I became a mother.
I'm betting I'll have popped them all off by Monday, so you can have a longer, more insightful post to read. Right now, I'm misspelling every other word because of The Nails, so this is way too much work for a sick girl. Off to more napping!

Hang in there, being sick totally sucks. I am getting over a sinus infection myself. Glad you got a break from the kids and by the way your nails look very pretty.
Is that what it takes for us to get a day of rest? Near death? Haha apparently so. I really hope you get better soon. In the mean time, at least you have great nails!
What a nice hubby for taking the kids away for the day. Do you feel lonely in your house all alone?
Thanks for all the comments!!
Oh, you poor girl! I'm glad you're under proper medical attention, 'cause coughing SUCKS and so does being sick in general. Hope you feel better sooooon!
I'm so sorry that you are sick. I do remember though our first couple years of teaching, you always had beautiful nails. I was always jealous. You were always dressed up and looked so pretty. You were the "pretty new kindergarten teacher." Your nails are always my inspiration.
I want to get my nails done now! I'm starting to get sick now, too. YUCK!!! I guess that means a mani and a pedi are in my near future! I'll keep telling myself that, at least!
Pretty! Did Ly do those? Who did, cause I need their number? Hope you are feeling better. I am sick now, Urgh! So are J, H & B. Hubby woke up this morning and said thanks for the cold, he rolled over went back to sleep, while I got up, fixed lunches, did hair, blah blah blah. All I got was a 20 minute nap on the couch to help me feel better. MEN

I had to switch to just overlay because it hurts so much to take off the tips!
