Partying death

The Peb is sick! Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) he woke up hysterically crying, I went in and he was HOT like crazy, nothing i ever felt before.
There was no calming him either. Panadol brought his temp down as well as a cool cloth but he was so so sad it broke my heart.
After about half an hour he seemed a lot better so I put him back in his bed. Half an hour after that he was still awake...playing even. Little terd right? He came into our bed and climbed, tumbled and chatted before falling asleep, for half an hour! I was beyond exhuasted. He cried for another hour but thankfully J took the shift and I got a bit of sleep.
We took him to the doctors, he said seb could have hand, foot and mouth virus. Eekk!
He had 2 tiny sores on the bottom of his foot that we were told to watch. They didn't spread so we ruled out HFM.
That night was more of the same. He seemed pretty okay throughout the day but night time, not so much.
I started feeling odd Thursday, nothing serious just not 100%.
J left for Dalby to start his first 5 on 5 off shift.
Pretty much as soon as he left, it hit me, chills and shakes, headaches , nausea and temperatures. I was not looking forward to the night ahead with Seb not sleeping and me feeling like death warmed up.
For the rest of the afternoon Peb was a champ, playing alone, snuggling and being so darn cute, I had hope.
That hope was crushed. He woke at 10 and I put him in bed with my shaky fevery self. He was alright from then on looking all comfy taking up my whole bed.
Then these young neighbor girls were partying, making a damn racket, right outside my window. They were talking about sex and other yuck things at the top of their lungs. I wanted to go down there and give them a piece of my mind, but another neighbour beat me too it. I was quite thankful as I'm probably their age.
Then it got me thinking, I am old! Maybe not in age but mentally. What feels like not too long ago, those girls were me. After hearing them it made me thankful for everything I do have. Even though I'm sick as a dog, taking care of a cranky baby and maintaining a house, I would hate to be in their head upon waking this morning.
So for now I am in bed with multiple seasons of one tree hill, the baby is asleep and I plan to be soon too. It's Friday night, I am such a party animal.
