A sick joke


What do dinosaurs, a prom date, my father, and shingles have in common?


They are all coming to my house on Saturday.
My baby girl is turning three and she wants a "Dinosaur party" so we are having one.
Also my father and other family will be visiting.
My seventeen year-old son is going to prom too.
So you can imagine my to do list is quite long.

Oh yeah, shingles....
They have already arrived. 
I am not talking about the sort you put on a roof, I am sick. Really sick. I am still waiting for bloodwork because the doc wasn't convinced. So I don't actually know if its shingles.
I need to motor through the week regardless of how gross I look and the pain.
So I am going to take the week off from blogging. I will be back next week, I hope. 
 That's my sick joke.
 At least I can laugh about it and I hope you did too.

I have had shingles and I know how painful they are!! My doctor prescribed some kind of burn cream that seemed to help with the burning sensation. I was miserable for at least 4 weeks! They went away slowly and I was able to go to work but I was miserable!

I hope your little girl has a lovely birthday party and that your son enjoys the prom...what a weekend! LOL

Sorry about your illness, girl. I just noticed a "Shingles Shots" sign over at CVS this morning - maybe I should go get one?

I've had shingles twice and I know that what can appear to be shingles is sometimes staph which has become alarmingly common. Whatever you have, I hope you get over it very quickly! What a week to be unwell. So sorry!! Jennifer

Oh Kerry! I hope you feel better... I hear shingles is a bear...
Enjoy all of the wonderful moments in your family, hopefully the joy in the distraction will alleviate the uncomfortableness of whatever is ailing you.
