The Crud

John has been sick. Ivan has been sick. Leon has been sick. Mercedes has been sick. It's the sore throat crud that has been going around that includes fever, chills, nasal congestion, sinus troubles, etc.

And I mentioned a couple days ago that if I were to get sick right now it would really not be a good thing. Tomorrow I speak in St. Cloud. I have to help with an all day training in Duluth on Wednesday and then I am going solo for an all day training in Lubbock on Friday. Saturday I speak at the foster care association meeting followed by the baby shower that my daughter's boyfriend's mom is hosting. It is the most chaotic 8 days of my life and...

you guessed it....

I woke up with a sore throat and things have gotten progressively worse as the day has gone by. I really do not feel well at all. But I have 90 minutes until I am heading to the Pregnant Pause with Salinda. I've told Kari for years that I really wanted to come to the event but I sure didn't want to come bad enough to get pregnant. It appears that I have found another way to attend, though it wasn't my plan.

I will be able to exist for the week and do what needs doing just by will power and adrenaline. But if I sound as bad as my kids have, I pity the people who have to listen to me.
