Sometime last week I started feeling sick... nothing too bad, just under the weather. I knew I was run down and was more than likely going to get sick because of it so I started popping vitamin C like crazy! Between that, alka seltzer, and zicam nose spray, I was able to manage. I had a crap load of homework that was due Wednesday night and exam on Thursday so I did what I could throughout the week, but ended up staying up pretty late Wednesday night cramming for the exam. (Its not easy getting everything done when I'm relying on naptime and whenever I can leave Grant a little longer at his grandmas.) Anyway, I was pretty nervous for the exam, as I usually ALWAYS am before tests. I got up and headed to class with a huge knot in my stomach. My professor passes out the test and I swear it looked like Spanish to me. I only was completely sure of a few of the problems. My mind was just blank and I started feeling really panicky. I tried to just relax and slowly read things over. Well, that didn't work and I could feel my chin starting to tremble and I was about to break down! I finally decided to write the professor a little note and see if I could try the test again another day. I turned it in and broke down as soon as I got in the car. I emailed him when I got home and explained everything and told him I'd do everything I can to get my grade up. I had so much to do over the weekend that I kept myself busy enough to just get my mind off of it for a few days... planning to figure out everything after class on Monday...
I deep cleaned, and I mean REALLY DEEP cleaned on Friday and it felt soooo good to finally have that done for awhile. (We all know how long it really lasts with a toddler boy running around!)
Saturday we had a birthday party to go to so we took it easy all morning and went to that. We had a ton of fun, but while we were there I noticed Grant was starting to cough alot. GREAT... I just knew he was going to get sick with all the crap floating around right now. Well, sure enough, a few hours after being home, he was coughing like crazy and really hard. :( By night time, he was throwing up. He ended up coughing and throwing up all night and the next day (yesterday).
I wanted to miss class and just be home to take care of my baby, but I knew I needed to go figure out the issue with my test and today would just be a really bad day to miss after all of that. My MIL came to watch Grant and he was able to sleep in. He woke up seeming alot better and so far, hasn't thrown up. Still coughing though. Gosh! I just HATE when my baby is sick... its the most helpless feeling ever. I really hope he's over it!
Well, I get to class and its a huge sigh of relief... the average grade on the test (theres about 40 of us) was 55%! Therefore, the professor realized it didn't stick with any of us and we need to make some changes. It felt way better knowing, I'm not an idiot and everyone else did poorly too. He gave us 10 extra points on the test and is offering an extra credit quiz on Thursday worth 50 points! We also talked about the different things that would help us do better... I will spare you all the details!
Anyway, I'm feeling much better about all of it. Still stressed that I have to cram two weeks of stuff into 4 days, but I'm just taking one day at a time and hoping all this crud going around will clear up soon and we'll all be feeling better!
