Today I was supposed to go to Medieval Times with my wife and kids, I'd been looking forward to it. I woke up this morning and felt worse than last Saturday, just couldn't stop coughing. I'm exhausted. I went back to the doctor on Thursday because I felt I wasn't getting over this thing, so he gave me a new anti-biotic prescription and said to use it if I wasn't feeling better in the next day or two. Last night I decided to take it. Today I feel like crap, I'm really frustrated because I wanted to have this good time with the kids and now I won't. D16's bf is going in my place. I phoned wife this morning and told her the situation and she said "I know you're sick and it's not your fault but it's a bit frustrating when we've made plans and you can't come. I know it's not your fault, it's just that the girls want to go with you and now they can't!" I apologized to D16 and told her I felt really bad because I wanted to go and she said "Hey, it's not like you want to be sick, you're just sick. So you stay home and sleep today" This was before we decided to ask her bf to go. D13 was at a sleepover and wife was picking her up but D16 said "I phoned D13 and she says for you to rest and get better". Such great kids! So this long weekend it will be rest, meds and get rid of this f'ing thing. I'm so pissed right now. I'm missing all the fun stuff with my girls, first the CNE and now Medieval Times. I missed the week at the cottage, which was choice...but I still hate this.
