Ariel and Racecar have had a stinky, chesty cough for the past two weeks, then Ariel threw a fever into the mix yesterday, so today it was off to the doctor’s.  And now they are both on antibiotics.  And seeing has how my immune system has been on vacation since the beginning of August, I am now sick, too.

My symptoms started yesterday when my chest would hurt when I was coughing and also, I was so tired that it was all I could do to stay awake throughout the day and night.  I actually took two naps and laid in bed, ready for bed at 7:35 p.m.

But today, I feel worse.  And somehow?  I’m even more tired than before…so, in an effort for all of us sickies to get some rest, the kids and I are going to attempt a nap, like now.  For me, a nap is no big deal, I have mastered the art and can fall asleep in two minutes flat with my jeans and running shoes on.  It’s a talent, for sure.  The children, on the other hand, haven’t napped since May, so this should be interesting.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they get a little snooze in.  Which would be so dreamy.

And while I’m dreaming and trying my hardest not to fall asleep at any given moment, I have a dreamy question for you.  If you had four hours to yourself and your house was totally clean, your laundry was done, you have no errands to run and all food had zero grams of fat (hey, it’s a dream, BACK OFF.) what would you do with that time?  What would you eat?  Sleep?  Bathe?  I’m not sure what I would do, maybe lay on the couch and stare at the white ceiling and listen to nothing and eat peanut butter and jelly and LOADS of bug bites dipped in coffee.

and nachos.

and chocolate.  Lots of chocolate.

and pizza rolls.

*sigh* I love dreamworld.  What’s in yours?
