curse of the mother...?

i am pretty sure my mother is wishing bad things upon me....

last night i wasn't feeling very well. i assumed it was because until 7 o'clock i hadn't consumed anything but two cups of coffee and an energy drink - terrible i know, but the day got away from me, i was stuck at work! anyway, i went to bed and woke up this morning with a terrible sore throat!!

i just went home for thanksgiving and my entire family was sick! my mom has been sick the last week. well i sent my mother a text when i got to work this morning to inform her of my illness; she calls and says:

"that is how it starts! it starts as a sore throat and then turns into the flu! it is the full fledged flu! prepare to be in bed for the next FIVE DAYS!!"

wow. okay. thanks mom. i was quite disappointed. i was hoping that my loving mother would say something along the lines of "oh sweetie, are you okay? don't worry, get lots of rest and everything will be okay..." but NO!! she has to scare me! i can't afford to be in bed for FIVE days! i have a christmas party to go to tonight and finals all this coming week - ugh!!

p.s. i hate being sick...
