All week I have been pretty quiet on here because, well, I’m sick. There is no time to be sick when you are a mom though. I don’t know what I caught, but it’s horrible. Bad cough, headache, sore throat and just feeling blah. It is hard to be motivated to do anything…but there isn’t time to be sick.
Regardless of how sick I feel, things need to get done. Who else is going to take the kids to their appointments? Tuesday I felt horrible and was coughing so bad. I still made it to my son’s 6th grade jump start day, over to his doctor appointment and met the other two kids teachers! Long day, but it has to get done. On top of all of this, I have been cleaning the house, breaking up fights, making dinner and any other things that pop up throughout the day.
When do I get to call in sick?
I was laying there last night thinking that when my husband is sick, he gets to call in and I take care of him. When I’m sick I still do everything I normally do, plus take care of myself. I would like a sick day, please?!

Boy do I remember those days and saying basically the exact same thing when mine were younger. The men for some reason, they are not going to make it and need to sleep when they are sick. Us however…almost like, she’ll survive. Hope you’re feeling better soon. I can relate and feel so bad for you. It’s horrible to feel that bad and not be able to do anything about it.
Thanks Sandy. I’m a little better today, but really would love a day to sleep…..that will never happen. Three kids never let you sleep! the other day I just couldn’t stay awake, my 9 year old tried to take care of me…but kept waking me up every 10 minutes or so.
