SICK, SICK, SICK

I write this post as half my head feels like it is floating above my body like the commercial.....urgg. I guess I should be counting my blessings that it is currently just half my head instead of the entire thing as it has been the rest of this week. I know....I'm a bit petulant about this. I just really hate being sick. I think it must be a law somewhere that Moms get sick at the WORST possible times!

It started on Sunday when I had a tickle in my throat and progressed on Monday when my voice started to disappear....by Monday afternoon I had no voice, by Tuesday I wanted to crawl in bed and cry (but that would produce more pressure in my head then I already had), Tuesday night I had a team fundraising event for the 3 day breast cancer walk (see picture) where I wasn't able to do anything to help besides greet people as they walked in and try to look like I wasn't dying..... (I know....its all a bit depressing.. LOL) Then I had to miss my Heaven Bible Study because I didn't want to get all the women and children sick. Oh, I am forgetting the fun parts....Jason worked in Tucson on Tuesday night so I had all three boys with me at the fundraiser for 4 hours then I get a text from Jason that his Dad was at our house. Just imagine with me if you will...... Mom has been sick for 3 days, no voice, ready to cry with pressure in the head and her FIL comes to visit! ARRGGGHHH I wanted to cry all over again imaging my house. I had been trying to do laundry earlier and didn't have the energy to sort so I just DUMPED all of it in the hallway and grabbed a few pieces here and there. So suffice it to say....you literally had to walk over dirty laundry to get to the bathroom! LOL

The good news is....I survived! When we got home I had an emergency cleaning session all while appearing to act calm and collected as my FIL talked with the boys. LOL Then I fell EXHAUSTED into bed around 11pm. It is now Thursday and I am feeling half better....LOL and hoping to have a full voice and complete breathing abilitiy SOON!

Have you ever wondered why women can't turn into men when we are sick? We could just lay on the couch or in bed moaning and calling for food while our wives run around keeping the children quiet, cleaning the house, making sure we have food, fluids, medicine. We wouldn't care if our in-laws came to visit because we are men and its okay to have a dirty, disgusting house. LOL Can you tell I have been sick TOO LONG.....
