December cootie bugs...

December cootie bugs have taken up residence at the Womble house. It always happens to someone I know. This year, it was us, along with several other households in our circle of friends. Someone at the Womble house has been sick with hacking cough, runny nose, goopy eyes, fever, a stomach virus or all of the above for the entire month of December. Well, one week before Christmas guess who finally gets hammered? Just when I finally find my Christmas spirit, just when I have 2000 things to do, just when I don't have time to be sick I come down with the epizooty. I ended up at urgent care this morning following a long night of praying for an Albuterol treatment. Nothing like a little respiratory distress to send you to the Dr. on a holiday weekend. I haven't wheezed like that since the 6th grade. A big 'ole shot of Decadron and three prescriptions later I'm back at home. I'm thinking about all the things I need to be doing and all the things that are going by the wayside. Either way, we're off to Meme and Papa's for lunch today and back to our house tonight for Christmas with JimPa and NeNe (Jay's Daddy and stepmother). I'll have to keep my germs to myself which equals don't touch anyone in any way and hide in the corner away from other humans. But hey, at least I'll be there. I'll have two doses of antibiotics by the party so I should be covered. MG and I missed Thanksgiving so I don't want to miss Christmas too! Go away December cootie bugs...you are not wanted here any more!
