A very long long week

So today was the last day of Vacation Bible School. Abbey was very sad that we were done with it. Both girls did a great job at the VBS concert last night. I was fortunate enough to help out in their class however I was not in the class hardly at all.
A few weeks ago Shannon had both hand, foot and mouth disease and a viral infection. He was miserable. Well last Friday after swimming at the beach, I had a sore throat. I didn't think too much of it...I thought it had something to do with the water. My throat was sore on Saturday and by Sunday it was getting very hoarse. On Monday after VBS, I wasn't feeling well at all then by the afternoon I was wiped out. I had to do two errands and almost fell asleep on the way home from Maplewood. Shannon called his mom to come and get the girls and I slept with three blankets on me. I was running a temp of 102.7. Well that night was miserable, the next two days were the same. I was in bed running a low grade fever with a sore throat that was horrible. Then the shooting pains started happening in my head whenever I coughed.
Shannon finally convinced me to see the doctor on Wednesday. They tested me for mono and for strep but they came back fine. Just in case it was bacterial, the dr gave me an antibiotic, which I don't think has helped. I was able to help out at the end of VBS yesterday and then at their concert last night. Today I made it through the entire session of VBS but I feel like I have a horrific cold.
The sad thing is we are suppose to be going camping tonight with Auntie Karla, Sam and Katie. I haven't told the girls that we aren't going and I am hoping that they don't remember it. I know life is full of disappointments but this would have been fun.
Shannon has been a saint. He has run back and forth from work to get the girls to VBS and me to the doctor. He has put up with my snoring (Yes this will be the only time I admit that I snore). I even slept on the couch last night so he could have a quiet bedroom all to himself.....and Ashley ended up in bed with him.
