A nasty virus

I hope that 'bug' had fun wreaking havoc on the family. Days after we were all together for Thanksgiving, everyone in the Tanner family came down with varying degrees of a cold virus. For me, it started out with a major sore throat, of which I have had for a total of 12 days now!! It's like a thousand tiny razor blades every time I swallow. (I know what you're thinking - it's probably strep... nope! The strep test was negative).

Of all the lovely symptoms I had, (congestion, coughing, headaches, fatigue, etc), the absolute worst was the fact that I completely lost my voice for an entire week!! Do you know how annoying and frustrating it is trying to communicate when you don't have a voice?!?! Especially when you are the mom to a 3-year old! (It's really hard to yell when nothing comes out!)

So, even though the strep test was negative, the doc still wrote me a script for an antibiotic. But after seven days, I still wasn't getting any better, which only proves that it was, in fact, a virus.

But there is good news - I think I am finally on the mend. My voice is starting to come back, thankfully. Greg has been congested and coughing as well. Being sick sucks... and now I'm so far behind ... Christmas is only 2 weeks away! Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!
