My Single Mom Life: The flu sucks.

The flu sucks.

The teens and I have had the flu since last week, we are finally getting over it now, finally feeling well enough to actually do things, and things sorely need to be done.
Sebastian missed several days of school due to being sick, Friday of last week, and Monday and Tuesday of this week, and then I realized that there's no school this Friday due to a "professional day".
He's already mostly caught up on the work he missed because he's allowed to do his work on the computer at his own pace, which is good.
If he wasn't allowed to do that, it would take him a whole lot longer to get caught up.

The house is a total disaster area, there should be warning signs posted on the front door about what an absolute mess the house is, but I've just been too sick to do anything about it, or care really.
Tomorrow though, I am going to attempt to get some of it cleaned up, do some laundry, definitely clean the floors, they are awful, and the bathroom has got to be done.
One week without cleaning that, yeah, not good.
I swear, teenage boys just don't even seem to notice that they've left their shaved off facial hairs laying in the sink, on the sink counter, everywhere.
Let's not forget the gobs of toothpaste left in the sink either.
Yick.
And on top of being sick and having a totally messy house, I haven't been able to sleep at all either.
There's nothing worse than feeling like you've been hit by a bus, then a truck, and then a 20 car pile up, on top of you, and all that you want to do is sleep, but you can't.
Some one of these days I'll find a permanent cure for my insomnia.

There's so many things that I want to do this coming weekend, that I wish that I could get a cash advance on my check so that I can pay all of the bills, get those over with and out of the way, then pay for the stuff that the teens need for college apps and required test taking in order to apply for the job.
It's kind of insane that you have to pay to take a test in order to apply for a job, but whatever.
Then, with whatever money is left over, do the things that I need and want to do this weekend.
But nope.
After paying the phone/internet bill, there isn't diddly squat left. haha
Laugh or cry, I'm choosing to laugh.
It's OK though, I have other things to do this weekend which will be a lot of fun but I'm not going to blog about it until after.
I don't want to mess things up by saying too much or the wrong stuff.
