Allergies and other stuff

So, I had my little guy (my son) to the doctor about a week ago for a nasty sounding cough that he'd had for about 2 weeks at that point.  She took a look, said he had allergies and just give him some children's Claritin.  Well, it's been a week now, the Claritin is not doing anything, and now he's running a fever, too.  I'm not a hundred percent positive, but I'm pretty sure allergies don't cause fevers. 

Today, he started complaining about his back hurting, too, and then coughed until he threw up.  My poor baby!  I feel so bad for him.  I'm also feeling like a bad mom for sending him to school coughing like that, but I have to work and at this point, I don't have a choice.  If I send him to school and then they call me to come get him, at least I can have a scheduled 1/2 day instead of a full missed day/call off.

To top it all off, I've been fighting almost daily migraines again.  Last week I had a headache of some sort almost every day of the week.  All that pain tends to make me moody and irritable, so of course, I'm snippy with everyone, including the kids even though I don't mean to be. 

Guess I won't get Mom of the Year this year, either.  Oh well, I don't think I was ever in the running, anyway.  Gonna take myself to bed now.  Hopefully, tomorrow will look better for all.  G'night.

Below my son, being his normal, exuberant self, a few weeks ago.  I just adore his sense of humor!
