It’s been a long day and I keep thinking it’s Sunday. At the time of writing, it’s still Saturday but all the days are slurring together.

It’s becoming more and more apparent that I’m getting sick. I’m hoping it’s just a regular cold and not the dreaded Man Cold. Unfortunately, I’m prone to Man Colds and they usually knock me on my ass. I picked up some cold medicine today and I’m hoping that takes the edge off.

The kids are getting worried that this is going to interfere with our trip and depending on how sick I get, it could. One of my least favorite parts of being a single parent is when I get sick. My parents are out of town and that means I’m pretty much on my own.

I’m really hoping that I shake this off and don’t get any worse or at least get through it quickly.

We’re supposed to be leaving inside the next week or so and if I feel as poorly as I do right now, driving across country is not a good idea. There’s noone else who can drive and I’m not sure what to do.

Hopefully, this will pass and there won’t be anything to worry about. The last thing in the world I want to do is disappoint my kids and let everyone else down as well.

My priority tonight is to get a good night’s sleep and staying hydrated. That’s also something I’m trying to get the kids to do as well. I actually need to order some new waterbottles for the kids. I’ll have them checkout https://www.luxehydration.com/collections/all and pick out the color they want.

I didn’t sleep well last night and I need sleep to fight this off.
