Hiya Wildcat,

I love how you write. It is so great and artful and full of imagery! "she exhales the sulphurous flames of the inferno". I just love reading your posts!

I am sorry to hear though that your cold has not gotten better yet. I wish you a speedy recovery!

As for your take on men and illness, you might just have figured it out I think lol!

Let me know how you are!

hi Diva,
if anything the throat is more swallowen. only cool soup and warn water get down.  But I am losing an incredable amount or weight!  
I have a tinnny voice which is unnatural for me ... I worked as a lifeguard as a teen for 6 years and developed a big boomimg voice that I cannot get rid of  without these 3 winter and 1 summer infection per year. 
 
Tiamat, the dragon of chaos, does not spit little coals of fire, Diva... she exhales the sulphurus flames of the infernos.
 
and men wait hoping that their manly immune systems kick in and save the day so that they do not have to suffer the rectal exam of the prostrate.  Because the 2 second touch is a millon times worst than all of the PAP-smears and gyn-exams that women have to suffer....

Hello Wildcat,

As you said, wow 9 hour nap! I hope it helped you feel better hun! How are you today?

Well I am sorry to hear you have so much on your plate lately. You can get through this. and please feel free to vent anytime you need to!

1. Why is it men always wait so long before seeking help? I find it infuriating!

2. As for your daughter Tiamat, she sounds like a little spitfire! I can see how not knowing when changes in her moods are coming around must be exhausting. But you sound like such a loving and wonderful maman, I am sure you will work it out. In the meantime feel free to vent here! We are here for you!

3. As for the virus I hear you. I have pretty much been sick since january and am getting tired of it! It is one thing after the other!  I am glad to see you are caring for yourself and taking time off! Hang in there it will get better.

Anyway, I hope you are feeling better today and hope to hear from you soon!

hi gang.
 
I am sorry if I am a bit acidic these days...  i am not at my best and need to let go of a bunch of negative stuff.  So bear with me.
My Neanderthal, husband waited so long that his urinary tract infection spread from his kidneys to the end of his p****. THe idiot, and the doctor was afraid for blood clots.  THe dr wanted to send him to the emergency next door.  My husband went to work to get the guys pay-checks out and prepare the tax papers.  -with a 39C fever- He understood the instructions for the blood tests and urine test and nearly missed his window and had to wait another day -due to fasting time-.  My 6 year old daughter understands instructions better than my husband.  Accountant jokes aside, I do not want his insurance money just yet thanks to a pulmonary embolism, a stoke, or ACV... the idiot!!! I spent 3 nights wake watching him breath and went to woke two days in that period. 
 
My daughter is Tiamat.  One moment sweet and adult helping to clean the kitchen table.  The next moment having a tantrum because I do not want her putting her feet in my basket of beading supplies.  I cannot feel the change I do not see the change come on.  It is sudden for me and driving me crazy.  One morning I ask for her lunch box and it is with pleasure maman and another morning it is I am not a dog to go fetch maman! And to top it off every once in a while she spits out words that scare the bejezus out of me... I am only meant to die because you do not love me!  You cause so much emotional pain that i want to jump from the car and die!  ...
 
Now that I am exhausted I have this virus.  My throat is nearly swollen shut.  I gargle with salt water twice a day. I rub with the essential oils.  I cannot take the peppermint due to my stomach ... yet but the hibiscus and rose hips is not a problem. So why am I still sick?  I slept a good part of Saturday and Sunday (not the night but a few hours during the day).  I am caring for my body and not giving in to the stress - I got rid of the Saturday migraine with one 2 Advil dose at 3am!!! I then had to deal with the pain of the Advil but the head was fine right away!  I have even gone through a bag of echinatia pastilles and am still sick.
 
I have taken a sick Monday to rest and let go of all this worry and negativity.  I think I am like a tired child that does not know what to do what their shik and is grumpy with evrything that crosses their path.  I know My chouette and he has always been the same.  He hates to admit his body cannot be rid of an invader on its own.  My daughter is reacting to the situation.  She sees us sore and miserable and probable feels helpess, so she attracts attention hoping we will be our regular selves and we are not.  So it all blows out of proportion.

I did not think of the worksheets to tell the truth.  Since the new site, I have ignored the other stuff a bit.
  forgive me?
 
Friday I spent a bit of time argueing with my son's principal.  Again this week!!!
 
And today I think I might have a scent ...  my son, sensitive child he is, has been crying and sticking to me a LOT more than usual this week.  And One test came home as  compaired to the others, so I suspect something at school.  Hence my argueing with the principal for resources to be allocated to my son, regardless if it is that time of year where others need to be assigned to special classes. 
My cousin works at a school, and reminded me that bullying and intimidation might be the culprit!  But I have not seen any physical signs (sores, clothes).  But we have talked about exchanging these little ball toys called bakugan.  They have a magnet and when rolled on a metal card they pop open to reveal an animal character.  Well, my son is being pressured to Exchange one of his.  It might be nagging, I thought it was nagging.  But Tigre might be feeling something different, agression especially if a few are with the one asking for the exchange and all are making him feel small and stupid (he failed 4th and is repeteing this year).  THere might be a lot mixed in these challenges; boys games of dominance.
 
My husband has a plan to get around the usual defences and talk to him tomorrow night.  It will be the royal rumble nite.  Playing video games together does it for some reason... I do not know why... But plant my son infront of the flashing pixels and my husband turns him to putty.  Fathers and sons  what ever works right?
 
Now all I have to do is hold the anxiety till then.

I cannot believe the past two weeks! 
My son's class is a bunch of monsters that have put one teacher on burn out for a month and another about to pull out a whip!
I have to go for the barium swallow.  and take the PPI to try to calm my GI tract.
I have a 9am meeting for how to save money !!!
 
and on the way home I hit a pedetrian running for the bus.  Good thing I hit the break hard and went from 20 to 0 in nothing flat!  It is minus a million today but running a red light for a bus when the street has 5 bus lines on it is Dumb!  She hit my bumper rolled on the hood and rooled off to the floor... then got up and was going to take the bus!!! whoa!
 
I got the police and ambulance... the fire crews two trucks!! came looking for the other car and the woman under the car!!!
 
what else?  Mother of god, what else?
