(((((((((((((Walrus))))))))))))) Boy, does that sound familiar! Even down to the strep throat. When I get depressed; I let my housework go and that just makes me more depressed. It's like a viscious cycle! My heart goes out to you about the whole family coming. I cannot stand stuff like that. I would be headed for a hotel and just let them have the house! I just recently had strep throat too. My doc told me I would feel like it was gone about the third day on antibiotics and he was right. Try to hang in there. I'm a stay at home on disability and I get my instructions for the day too. But if my hubby made a remark like that to me when I was sick ( they just piss me off so bad with that stuff) he would have a sore spot that hurt worse than my sore throat when I got through with him! lol lol. Hope you feel much better soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you. lovehugs, Rain.
