Birthday fun/and sickness

Well the last few days have not been to fun for me. As most people know I have a kidney infection. My back is in so much pain because of it that most of the time it hurts just to breath. The antibiotics are just killing me. They make my stomach feel like something is sitting there twisting it in opposite directions. I unfortunatly believe that I am going to have to get on the medication more than a week. I am not looking forward to that if that be the case. My temp is getting dangerously close to having to go to the hospital. I have to give Mark hourly updates because he is so worried. I have to go to the hospital if it reaches 100 degrees. I just checked it and it was at 99.6 degrees. It is just sitting there trying to tease me.
To make me feel worse I feel just aweful watching kids when I am like this. I'm in so much pain and so sick from the medication that I have no patience for most of their challenges. I would seriously like to go find a very dark quiet cave where I can crawl into a little ball and escape reality until I feel better. Not going to happen but it is such a lovely thought.
So anyway on a happier note. Dad, Mark said you would be so proud of him for what he did yesterday. So the boys came home from camping. Got everything put away and we decided to go out to dinner for my birthday. Mark suggested the Roadhouse. I was craving cow so sounded great to me. But I knew he was up to something because of the look on his face but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. So we get there, and those to boys of mine were sitting there wispering to each other. So when our waitress comes up to ask if we want dessert or anything Jacob bursts out that it is my birthday. Than it hit me where we were and what they do to you. They get all of the waiters and waitresses, put a toilet seat cover around your neck and a coffee filter on your head, they yell for everyones attention in the resturant and than sing to you. So embarrassing. Granted it didn't beat the Who song and Larry's on, but I don't think anything could do that. Mark was so proud of himself and Jacob was so excited that he got to be a part of it and embarress me. Although he was scared that he wouldn't get his surprise that I got him while he was gone camping. Silly boy. All in all, a nice birthday. Didn't do much except for go a few places with Susan when she came over and dinner. That was it. The rest of the time I was lazy because I didn't want to move and bring pain to me.
So all be proud of Mark that he got me. We had gone there a few months ago and it was someones birthday. He at that time threatened to take me there for it and I totally forgot. I don't think I will be doing that one again.
