Strep Throat and Ear Plugs

I just got back from urgent care with the wonderful diagnosis of strep throat. My prescription included not only the obligatory antibiotic, but a wonderfully numbing liquid for my throat that evidently tastes so fantastically horrible that the actual prescription says to mix it with chocolate syrup before gurgling. The pharmacist said (and I quote) "It's some nasty stuff."

All this and I get to go see monster trucks tonight. At least I was able to pick up sets of ear plugs for all of us while filling my prescription at the drug store. Mom muti-tasking at its finest.

I'm going to take a nap on the couch and pop in Star Wars for the little guy to watch. Don't judge. Hubs is giving a golf lesson at work but is going to relieve me after he's done. What crazy people want golf lessons when it's 40 degrees outside?

    OH gross. I'm sorry girl, if the pharm says something, it must be nasty. Prayers for you! :)

    You poor dear! I can't believe your mom-tasking, you're such a trooper! And I'm in shock over the instructions to gargle with chocolate syrup... That's like the ultimate "if the doctor tells you to do this than you KNOW it's gonna be a rough one" situation... Hope you survive monster trucks!
    and p.s., my Mr. would think that the kiddies could never have enough Star Wars exposure... Slowly learning that he's a pretty big fan (as evidenced by our "big" night last night... Dinner in front of the telly and Star Wars on Spike TV...lol)
    Hope you get well soon!
    xoxo,

    I think that if we got a dose of chocolate syrup with everything bad in life...well...I guess we'd all be diabetics. The bad things would be sweeter, but then there's the medical bills and the insulin....

    Hope you feel better!

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
