I want my momma

I mentioned last week that I had a cold. Every day it seemed like one symptom would go away, but a new one would take it's place. Well, I am absolutely miserable today.

I need to go shopping really badly, but just can't muster what I need to get out there and do it. I did manage to grade all morning, take a nap, get up and grade all afternoon, but that's as far as my motivation got me.

I had to skip my lunch date with that social studies teacher and the barbecue tonight out at RD's parents. I would have loved to go, but I am dis-gusting right now. Nasty cough.

So, all in all, I am a whiny, whiny little thing right now. What is it about being sick that makes normally functional adults want their mommy? I do. I want her to come here, tell me it's okay to lay in bed all day, make me soup and tea and go get all my errands done for me. I also want her to be able to reverse time so my phone call to that guy this morning didn't sound as much "I'm blowing you off" phone call as I'm sure it did. I'm not blowing him off - I am legitimately sick! He's very interesting and I really enjoy talking to him - he'd better not think I'm trying to wiggle my way out of dating him.

Ugh. I do NOT want to go to the store. I really, really need to, but I DO NOT want to. And I probably should keep my germy butt home. I'm probably not contagious, since I've been sick since last Sunday. But with the way my symptoms have changed and how I felt better, but then got suddenly much worse, who knows?

I'm going to go figure out if I have any ingredients for soup. That'll probably decide if I go to the store or not.
