Giving in- I’m sick

Filed in Healthy Alli 2 comments

I declare that if someone is going to get sick with an illness that will cripple her while performing mother/ wife duties, the illness should definitely start with a FEVER. Because if it starts with a cough after a brisk walk in the post-Ida wind, followed by achiness blamed on working out, then I the mother/ wife will keep pushing herself to do everything, including tailgating and attending a very exciting football game (after downing ibuprofen and Mucinex), only to collapse (figuratively) that night in a fever topped with chills.

I hate being sick. I hate that I made excuses for a few days before actually saying, “I’m sick.”

I did go to the Minute Clinic this morning and verified I don’t have flu and don’t have bronchitis. Instead I have been coughing since Wednesday and tired of it. My chest is sore and my energy is sapped.

But hey, tomorrow is another day.

Get well as fast as you can, but at the same time take the time you need to get well. Oh, Right your a Mom lots of prayers and friends.

Thanks, Daddy. I’m still coughing up a storm and Tebow’s nose is really gross. But I think some of the medicine the doc gave me for night time helped. I got more rest last night.
