    Default Raising the white flag.

    I give. I have been sick for a week and today finally went to urgent care. Diagnosed with a sinus infection, a middle ear infection and the beginnings of pneumonia. Yes, I feel like total junk.

    So this afternoon I slipped off my flip flops to put my feet in the sandbox and play with the kids. Stood up and circled it absentminded on the phone with my mom and stepped on a stinking bee!!!!

    I am pretty allergic, so my foot is slowly swelling to look like a balloon. And that's after 50mg of prednisone from the URI treatment this AM.

    I don't want to take any antihistamines because my milk supply is already in jeopardy

    Argh!!! Surely I can do better tomorrow.

    Yowza! I hope that the cavalry comes riding in on white horses to offer some relief/support? At least that's what I always hope for when I wave the white flag of surrender. Those were the days when I told myself, "desperate times call for desperate measures" and would pop in video after video for the kids and feed grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner on paper plates.

    Oh mama! Grab a packet of oatmeal cookies, a dark beer, drink a ton of water (all this is for the milk ) and put ice on the bee sting. Those hurt SO MUCH. But sick, milk issues and a bee sting is your 3 bad things, so sunnier skies are coming!!
