FLU SHOT!

So, E and I got a flu shot on Tuesday and since then I haven't been feeling right at all.  I have been alternating between hot and cold, achy, and my nose has been a little bit drippy.  But no fever... weird, huh? I've never, EVER had a reaction to the vaccine like this before, so it is sort of freaking me out.  Am I about to come down hard with the flu?  The scientist in me (if I can still call myself that after 5 years out of the lab) knows that there is no way I can actually get the flu from the flu vaccine.  But, there is part of me that is wondering a little bit.... I mean sheesh can I feel better already.  We are flying to California in 4 days (!!) and I sort of need to be feeling better. 

But the real purpose of this post is to brag that I took a 2.5 hour nap yesterday!  Me... a nap.... it was AWESOME!  I don't think I have taken a nap since M was born.  And after pushing myself to the brink of exhaustion last week, I really needed it.  The best part was I closed the door to my bedroom, crawled into bed, and pulled the covers over my head.  I was out, people, and it was fantastic.

So here's hoping that I start feeling better and that I can rest a bit this week before we travel.  Being a mom is soooo hard and when you are feeling like crap, it is even harder.  Three cheers for us moms! And if you have a chance, get a flu shot... but maybe not from CVS minute clinic.  Sheesh!

E keeps me on my toys, but is mostly my partner in crime.

The reasons I am so tired all the time!
