Can you tell I'm desperate? lol!

I'm sneezing and coughing constantly and my nose won't stop running. I'm still running a fever and I have the chills. Today's my second day off of work and I suspect I'll be off tomorrow too. It wouldn't be so horrible if Chris weren't sick too. Not to mention the fact that Jake stopped sleeping through the night and now thinks 4 is a good time to wake up. oops, the kid just took his diaper off, gotta go!
