The pros of being sick
Whoa y’all. Sorry for my delay in approving comments, posting winners on giveaways, etc… etc… I have been sick the last 3 days. My head is still all fuzzy as I type this, but atleast my fever is gone. I hate being sick. I don’t think anyone likes it but when I’m sick I feel guilty because Sei is doing all the things I feel like I should be doing. I miss my kids because I’m holed up in my room. I’m leaving mom’s hanging that I usually babysit for. I missed Tristan’s football game. Grrr. It sucks.
But in all the suckiness I found a few pros:
- Livie brought me a handful of popcorn, sat it on my sidetable and whispered, “Here’s some popcorn Mommy.”
- Sei waited on me hand and foot and our house is cleaner than it’s been in a long time. He’s better at my job than I am.
- Taj wrote me a song on the piano and sang it to me. I need to record him next time. I know he said something along the lines of, “Feel better my angel…”
- My mom brought us dinner and popsicles.
- Livie brought me a raw rotini noodle and whispered, “Here’s a noodle for you Mommy.”
- My looks are entertaining Sei. He asked me, while laughing, “Can I take a picture?” and then proceeded to tell me I looked kinda like one of the “yearbook yourself” pics on Facebook.
- I haven’t eaten for 2 days so maybe I lost weight. haha

I was sick this last weekend and did the same thing. I’m still having some symptoms, but I’m not in bed all day sleeping.
Hope you get back to normal soon.

That’s the way to find the positive in EVERYTHING.
That little Livie–such a sweetie.

Uh, huh. Sounds like a vacation to me!
Get better!

I feel like poo, did you send it to me???? No fever, just a horrible headache and sleepy. Glad your back and feeling a little better!

PS Love that Liv brought you popcorn and a noodle and Taj composed a song for you. So sweet! Oh, yeah, and that Sei cleaned the house and Mom brought you dinner….Hey, that was a vacation!

Oh I hope you feel better!
Sounds like you got a very caring family. If I got sick, I’d be lucky if someone made me a sandwich.
None of the housework would be done, and everyone would have the TV blaring even if my head hurt or was wuzzy. You got a great, great, family there.
Take it easy.
What a sweet family you have!!
I hope you feel better soon.
