So, the doctor called back about 2pm and said they wanted to see Eden at 4:30. I quickly hopped in the shower, which I didn't want to do because I felt like crap on a stick but, did it anyway so as to not offend them with my non-showered stench. Luckily Eden had fallen asleep for a bit and I let her sleep because I knew she was feeling crappy too. Then Jeremy got home from an appointment in Lima and said that I should not drive to the doctor now because the roads were still stupid. So, I called the doc back and they took my word for it that Eden has the pox and called in a prescription to help shorten the duration of it. I am to dab calamine lotion on her spots and give her colloidal oatmeal baths, tylenol and benadryl.....all of which I was already doing. I never gave any of the other kids any prescriptions for chicken pox but, whatever, the sooner it is over the better. Now, I only wish this had happened when the new baby girl was here because now I have to figure out a way for her to get the pox too. Ugh. I am supposed to go to my doc tomorrow. I feel like death warmed over. Pretty sure the kids aren't eating tonight or any time until I feel better. Microwave popcorn it is. Or ramen. They can all make those themselves, lol! Just kidding. Somehow I will suck it up and do all the things I am supposed to do. I just might be a giant grump monster while I do it. Oh, and the hot water came back to my washing machine so yay, I guess I can do laundry too! I'm thrilled.
P.S. It is snowing again and I am cursing the frost giants for this weather!!! Hurry up Spring!
