It's the first weekend in ages that both Hunny Bunny and I have off together, and in the same place. And with his schedule over the next while, it looks like Okie-Vegas may be the next time we have more than a day together.
So, needless to say we were both looking forward to this. We'd thought about going for a 2-day ride with overnight camping in Algonquin Park. Alas, they're calling for thunderstorm and showers which is not good for either camping or riding, so we downplayed the plans to some jaunts around and about town.
It was all good.
Until last night when I got home and felt that tickle in my throat. By the time the Donkament started I was tossing back aspirin for a sore throat and sniffling a bit. I gave away the last of my chips just after the break and 20 minutes later I was in bed trying to shake this thing.
This morning I awoke to one mother of a cold. Chills, congestion, sore throat (too sore for even ice cream!), dizziness.
And there goes the nice weekend with my husband. And I know exactly who to blame for it.
Now, I recognize that there may be reasons why parents send their kids to school when they're sick. I've heard a lot of them from "I thought she was faking" to "I have an important meeting" (have to say the last one sucks...good grief, get your priorities straight please). But you know what....
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU, FOR FUCKS SAKES!!!!!!!!!! Keep your sick children at home, in bed, where they need to be - don't send them out to spread the joy to others!
Yeah, I'm a just a little bit pissed off at the moment.

Who won the Donkamnet, btw?

Bayne won...you can see the results on FT under the private section...your's is listed as "completed".
One would think that when you're around kids constantly, one would build up an immunity to all the pathogens they are carrying around.
Sorry to hear about the illness...hope things get better.
Get well soon Kat.Hope you can make the Britblogger game on Sunday!
Get well soon Kat!
