I have strep throat. A nasty case of it, too. YUCK! I have been staying in bed as much a possible because the last thing I want is to pass this to the hubby and/or kids. My throat hurts so bad I can barely take it...I have been popping Advil/Tylenol as often as possible. I went to Urgent Care on Saturday ~ not because I was feeling that bad, but because Scott was paranoid that I might pass this nastiness on to him or the kids. A legitimate concern, mind you...but, I think following behind me all day with disinfectant wipes is a little extreme. You think I am kidding...I am not. He, literally, wiped down everything that I touched or came close to touching. That pushed me to go to urgent care to get antibiotics, stat!! They looked at me a little funny when I walked in, not looking particularly ill or maimed and exclaimed I was certain that I had strep throat and, no, it could not wait until Monday. A short time later, after the rapid strep test confirmed what I already knew, I was sent on my way with a prescription. Unfortunately, Monday came and I felt worse than I did on Saturday...something wasn't right here. I feared I might have an abscess in my left tonsil...yes, it was that bad. After seeing my primary doc (well, the PA anyway...we never actually see the doc...that just isn't right!), I was given a shot in the butt of a super dose of antibiotics and another (stronger) prescription drug. GREAT! But, today I do feel better. My neck is still swollen and my throat still hurts.
The "big" storm we were supposed to get Sunday night didn't materialize. When they say "some" snow, we get a lot and then they say "big" storm and we get 'nothin! Thank goodness I didn't have to shovel snow, though.
Patrick the fish died on Saturday. Scott and Cailey had a funeral for the fish and then flushed it down the toilet. I was up in bed trying to recover from strep throat so I missed out on the funeral. The fish has been sick (dying) for a couple of months now. It was old...we have had this fish for about 3 1/2 years. Cailey wasn't too upset since she is already asking to go to the pet store to buy a blue one (Beta fish).
Ben is doing great with the potty training ~ pee accident free since Friday except this morning when he had an accident because he was watching a show on T.V. ~ ugh! He definitely knows he has to go, he just doesn't want to leave what he is doing to go pee. The poop thing is another story. Ben will not go in the potty. We will stick with diapers for now. I learned my lesson with Cailey and I will not force the poop issue. He will go in the potty when he is ready.

GO Scott GO. I too am a freak and walk around with antibacterial wipes when one is sick in my house. I open doors with them, flush the toilet with them, turn lights on and off with them and more. You are not alone
A friend of mine had her kiddo sit on the potty in a diaper to poop, then it was no big deal. Just a thought.
I'm off to Babies R us at some point soon to buy travel training accesories. My poor kid held it all day at the zoo and was wrenching in pain in the car on the way home, she refused to let me stop (she hates "big potties") so I am going to go for broke and buy a few more essentials.
Sorry about Strep, I don't seem prone to it, and haven't had it since I was a kid, but I remember it was miserable.
