Am I at Super Mom status yet???

It has been a LONG week/weekend. Starting with the fact that I began to feel sick on Easter Sunday which progressed each day until I had the full blown crud on Wednesday. So, on Wed. from work I called my doctor and begged them to call in a prescription for me because I can not miss anymore work. Heck, I had only been back 7 work days total as of Wed. My doctor was a trooper and called me in a Z-Pack antibiotic. My husband, being the sweet man that he is, drove the meds to me at work, on his way to work. I have not seen Lance since Wed for those few moments at school, and frankly don't know when I will see him again, hopefully soon. I finished the work day on Wed., and proceeded to feel WORSE as the night went on. My Mom ended up coming over and spending the night with me Wed night so that I could sleep a little and try to stay out of Kaden's face. On Thursday morning I called in to work and went to the doctor's office feeling like death, literally. I got two shots in the booty. On steroid, one antibiotic, continue Z-Pack antibiotics and mucinex. I was sick enough on Thursday that when my Mom left at 3 p.m., my M-I-L came and picked Kaden up and I stayed in bed. Thursday night around 9:45 I went to my in-laws and spent the night with Kaden there. On Friday, I again missed work. Still sick all day Friday, Saturday, and still pretty well feel like HELL tonight. Mainly I have a cough that won't quit and my body just aches. But, I am going to work in the morning. I attempted church alone this morning with Kaden. It was our third week to go with Kaden and he was good as always, it was just really hard on me because I held him the whole time and he's heavy! I had no one to pass him off to. We missed Daddy today.
Now, the reason why I am super mom, you ask???
Well, tonight while getting ready for bed (9:30 p.m.) I got Kaden from his swing (were he was asleep) to change his diaper to put him to bed. He immediately woke and was kicking and gooing and smiling and talking to me while I changed his diaper. A dirty diaper might I add. When I just about had the clean diaper on him, he began to pee and it went all in his face and all over his shirt. So, I got out another diaper and took off his clothes. Once that was all cleaned up, I almost had the other diaper on when the same thing happened again. Unbelievable! So, now I leave him naked on the pack-n-play changing table basket to go run bath water for him because he is now covered in his own pee. When I return to fetch him, no JOKE, he had peed again! Only this time it had landed all over MY BED!!! (Which I had just finished changing the sheets and bedding on today) I went to rip the sheets back quickly, but it was to late, it also soaked through the mattress pad which I had just washed too!) He was screaming by this point, tired of laying in his pee, I suppose...so, off to the bath we went. And, after about 1 minute in the tub he released a lovely present for me again, only this time it wasn't pee. So, we had to drain the bath and start over again. Luckily, it all ended there! (I hope.) It's just one of those moments were if it weren't so funny, I'd cry! I'm ready for Daddy to come home and help me!!! It's now after mid night and I have to get up at 5 a.m. to get ready for monday at school! Yip-he! Can you sense the excitment in my voice??? I just want to stay in bed tomorrow with my baby, but we must have health insurance and a pay check, right? It sucks though, I don't want to work, I want to stay at home and play with Kaden.
