Sick.........

I HATE being sick. Sure, it has it's pros and cons, but whenever I get sick, it seems like I always miss out on something fun. Here are some examples.

1. In fourth grade, my teacher (he was really awesome) had planned a Popcorn, Pop, Pizza, and a Povie at Pills house. (Povie is movie and Pill is his nickname.) Then I was going to sleep over at my best friend's house. When I woke up that morning, I had a fever. So we had to call my friend and cancel. I was really bummed.

2. In 2005, we planned a vacation to South Dakota. At least a week before I got sick so we had to bring my big nebulizer along too. I still got to go, but it wasn't as much fun as it could have been, with me coughing and weezing all the time.

3. In third grade, I was starting to get sick a couple of days before my birthday, but I had my party anyway, the day before my birthday. Then the next day I was much more sick, so I had to stay home from school on my birthday. What makes it worse is that we were having a valentines day party on that day too, so I missed that too.

4. This year, I was sick on my birthday again! (I hope this pattern doesn't continue.)

I could probably name a lot more, but I don't want to bore you, so I'll add one more.

5. This week was signs and wonders camp. I was going as a teen helper. On the Friday before the camp, my throat got really sore. I thought it would go away before then. On Monday, I left for camp with a good supply of cough drops and kleenex, but on Wednesday I was running a fever, so I called my dad to come and get me. There's always next time! I just hope that I won't get sick at the next camp later this year.
