here in casa HPMcQ we have been quite poorly for nearly a week now. through the horrendous days that have passed and hopefully now gone *touches wood* there has been one thing that has always made it better. one thing, that no matter how shattered or how sick you feel, no matter how much all the bones in your body ache, this one thing just takes it all away, even if it is momentarily.
cuddles
ronnie painted this for me last week, but this was before we all fell ill so he only brought it home from school last night. i must say i was very impressed, but of course i would say that, he is my little rooster.
it’s been a long six days so far. i picked rooster up from school on tuesday to find him slumped over a desk, looking very sorry for himself. he had a temperature and just wanted a cuddle. oh and pizza. apparently pizza would make it all better mummy. i scooped him up and off we went. school was a no go the following day with his temperature hitting 40.4. but he was eating well and as long as the cuddles were coming a good rate he was happy. a trip to doc’s and suggested perhaps a chest infection, prescribed antibiotics, but to keep an eye on him and if no improvement by saturday then to give them to him. well by thursday i had started to feel a little rough around the edges, by thursday night it was more than the edges that felt rough. and by friday morning we had a full house. all of us were down. casa HPMcQ had the full on lurgy. this picture perfectly visualizes exactly how i feel.
