I feel your whine. I really do. A friend of mine is having a bday party for her youngest today and I kind of hurt her feelings when I declined. In all fairness, it is an hour and a half drive each way and I have spent the last two days fighting this sinus thing. Plus I have this MS thing that makes m incapable of accepting invites to things before they happen because if I have to bail, it makes me feel guilty. Fortunately, same friend's MIL has MS and she gets it.
It sucks though because I am feeling better today and about to head out to go do something with DD because she has been trapped in the house with me for 2 days, so I figured we would go do SOMETHING, just don't know what yet.
