I feel like CRAP!

Cold Chills, shakes, pounding headache!  Do I have withdrawls?  Of course not.  I have the FLU.  Isn't it ironic after fighting all of the withdrawls and coming through them in tact, I get the flu.  I have fever and a sore throat and feel like doggie doo.  Oh well, I just wanted to vent.

Thanks guys, I am taking alka seltzer plus and I told my hubby I needed him to go to Wal-Mart after church and get some ziacam.  I have been so lucky.  Due to the fact I get a script for lortab (0nly 14 pills) about every 6 weeks, and I haven't experienced any withdrawls that I can name.  I do feel for the ones who do go through it though.  I felt so bad yesterday, but I had to take pictures of my oldest daughter's first prom.  She was with her boyfriend of 2 years (he is the senior).  They looked absolutely beautiful.  I have been so hesitant to post any pictures of my family on here because I am a high school teacher, and I am so afraid someone will see them.  I really could careless about how it affects me, I just don't want my girl's or my husband to feel the "backlash" from it.  Who knows I may get brave and put one picture on here to show everyone why I am so proud.

oh, hun, feel so bad or you!!  drink some green tea, use some zicam, ( the nose swab kind), and get as much sleep as the lousy flu will let you.  I'll be praying for your quick recovery.  do you have any emergen-C?  it should all help shorten your flu.
