I am completely over it. completely.
Ayja brought home the dreaded lurgie, which everyone except paris has now had. I have had it for 2 days now, which has co-incided with my totth/teeth getting worse as worse - wisdom tooth nearly fully thru and the tooth it has turned sideways decided to loose a huge chunk out of it this arvo. I am back to being tired and run down and ick, and so many things coming up this month. Anyway. Not as much of a pity party but more a question. - for those of you on meds... do you find they stop working well in times like these? I usually think ihave pretty good coping mechanisms but the OCD thoughts are starting to hang about again. Not too bad, I can push them back down and still carry on as normal - but just wondering cos it's worrying me that maybe i need a higher dose, or maybe I'm just going doolally, am hoping it will pass once i'm feeling better again. Does being sick and even more run down kinda cancell out the effect of the meds? ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I saw your post before the header, we've had the same thing. First me, Kryssi, Briona; then 2 weeks later, Nathaniel, Kryssi, Briona.... with ear infections 3 out of 4 of them. Nat has a sinus infection now and has had the ABs for it since Friday but is finding that they aren't doing much difference and sleep is about the only thing he can do! He's past the worst, but it sure lingers for a long, long time. 
So... the answer to your qu, I'm guessing, is probably yes. I hope you feel better soon tho! And oh my goodness, your ticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------  |

ha tell me about it - ayja's been off daycare since last friday and is just coming right. Mike thinks he's dying. I feel icky - and all the time we are hoping above all hope that miss paris doesn't get it.
She has her first school visit on friday, her last day of daycare is next friday, her party is next saturday, and she starts school the wednesday after (having the first 2 days of that week home with me.) I feel totally un-organised. Everyone knows how nuts i am about party planning. Well, to give you a clue how bad it is.... I haven't followed up on who is actually coming, I can't actually remember who i invited, her presents aren't even wrapped - in fact we still have to pick up a layby, and we don't even have any tables booked for the party at only a week out.... Pretty darn crap - especially considering it's her big 5th. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
