I'm sick.
Unfortunately not the morning kind of sickness, just the cold kind of sickness. I managed to get through winter without catching a cold but now that it's summer the lurgy has got me. I feel like crap, run over by a bus, crap. Nose and eyes running, coughing, burning throat, blah blah blah....
I don't know if I should go to the doctor. I don't think there is anything I can take anyway. Its currently 7.30am and I'm already dreaming of soaking in a steaming hot bath then curling up in bed with a book (although my current book is terribly boring, I really don't know why I'm persisting, anyone have any suggestions for a good read?).
I have a huge weekend coming up. We have kids of course (the Screaming Banshee should be paying us the bloody child support) and my parents are coming to stay as well. My FIL and SIL are both artists and they are holding an exhibition this weekend. All non-talented relatives such as myself have been given jobs as caterers and servers. My FILs pride and joy is his garden, which he is also opening to the public this weekend. The whole thing is fraught with danger. He has absolutely no tolerance for young children, and of course kids love his garden. It has paths and bridges to run over, ducks to chase and how else do you find out how deep a lake is except by throwing things into it - the exact same things that drive him most crazy.
However, the most stressful thing about this weekend will be trying to make sure my parents don't say anything in front of the kids about... well you know. I still can't say it but you know what I mean. I wish I hadn't told mum, she is terrible at secrets, but its too late now.
Ugh, I have so much work to do. I must stop procrastinating. Blogging is such a great way to procrastinate ;-)
Congrats to Behind the Mask for her great beta, Melbagirl for positive pee sticks at 8dp2dt and Lisa for hearing a heartbeat! Go girls!

You poor thing. I think you have to watch your temperature. I don't think a high temperature is good. Otherwise, I hope you feel better soon.
Your mother must be over the moon with sheer delight.
To pass time you could muck around with adding a baby widget to your blog!
So glad about your beautiful beta result.
Oh no, sick is no good. Hope you can rest up a little bit before the weekend siege.
Two easy-breezy nonfiction reads I just finished --
Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World (not "the best book ever," but it kept my interest well enough and was easy to pick up and put down during recent days of short attention span)
Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life (Steve Martin's memoir about the path he took to comedy; he tells a great story)
Hey my dear - sorry you are feeling crap - but CONGRATS on the great beta.
Yipppppeeee yahooooooo - I really hope you have beaten that bitch -infertility - to pulp.

Hope you are feeling better ☺
