Confessions of a Sick Mom…

…so, I’ve had enough.

enough lying in bed. enough taking my temp. and it not going down. enough taking horse-pills that do nothing but make me feel sick. enough watching mindless t.v. that reminds me of what we’ve come to as a society. enough knowing my house is in disrepair, and my family is fending for themselves.

…so, Byron cleaned this morning. He’s trying to make me feel better. He did an awesome job on the kitchen and even swept the sunroom (it’s a very large room full of tile and…sand from the boy’s school playground - separate issue!). Then, he moved on to the laundry…

…okay so did I mention that I’ve had a fever?

so, now I need to apologize for my reaction to some of the things that got “washed”…

I really need to develop a sense of humor about these things. I really need to remember that they are only “things” and they can be replaced. I need to remember that my loving husband was only trying to make me feel better in the first place.

I do know all of these things. I think I’m just going a little stir-crazy…but I feel too drained to do anything about it.

So, let the house get messy - who cares? Let the laundry be done…well, in a new and creative way - at least it will be entertaining to see how things turn out (wool coming right out of the dryer is…interesting!) Who cares? None of it really matters in the long run…

Right?

P.S.: Byron would like for me to mention that my house is not in disrepair - but, I can exaggerate if I want to…I am, after all, a sick, feverish, blogging drama queen!

Peace.

    Jim tried to help with washing the laundry once…i got to buy all new dress clothes! Now he just folds and puts away. He’s great at ceiling fans and dusting, too.
    get well soon
    We lift you up in prayer each day

    I can totally relate on the- sand from the playground issue! After the amount that’s been brought home and dumped from my son’s sneakers…we could start our own “indoor” playground! : )
    I’ll be praying that you feel better soon…

    I think I am going to open a spa for sick mom’s. Although, I would be sick a lot! I once thought about acting crazy so I could go to one of those institutions. I heard they make neat art projects. Something about the guard and the locking doors. Yes, I have visited the inside of a few of these places. Family….not my self…..yet!! HA

    Y’all are my “sick mom’s spa” - thanks - love you guys! :-) Hey, Leigh, please stay out of those institutions - the artwork might be fun, but the padded rooms really stifle your creativity…plus, something tells me they wouldn’t have wifi!
    Peace out!

    I hope you get well soon :) If you need anything let me know…
    And I don’t let Matt do the laundry because I am afraid for my clothes ;)
