I'm sick...again
Thursday, August 28, 2008 by The Traveler
End of Nick's 1st week of school (he started 8/11)- he brought home a cold for all of us to share. It took me the longest to come down with it, but alas, I did succumb after 1 week of fighting it off.
While I've been ill, I've realized...it's official...yep...I'm a big baby. When I get sick, I get sick, and don't function for days. All I want to do is go to bed and sleep for ever and have no one bug me. Too bad the kids don't believe in that ideal of mine...Hurmph!!
So I've been the bouncy mom (beds are so much fun to jump on when mom is sleeping, look at me bounce); the question & answer mom ("mom, what does this card say", "mom, what does this add up to", "mom..."); the story-time mom (you want to read "Sam the Cat" again); the look mom - "it's Dora..Diego...(or any other favorite cartoon character of Kiarra's)" said in a excited and high-pitched voice only a 2 year old can achieve; and the dead-to-the-world mom (while you sleep, I proceed to get into everything in your bathroom and bedroom and have fun).
Positive - I've only missed Tuesday and Wednesday at work.
Negative - missed first day of school Tuesday 8/26 (did drag my butt out of bed for 6 hours of mandatory orientation for field classes on Monday - but only because "key word" mandatory.) Also missed some orientation with my field placement that I have to make up next week.
So I've decided, I have to change somethings - not sure what yet - maybe diet, vitamins, sleep, moving to a new place, or something else, so I can stay healthy. But in the meantime, I'm back to bed again - for a few more hours of sleep - then it'll be time to get Nick up for school and out the door by 7:15 and then back to bed for a few more hours of oblivion until I have to be in at work at Noon.
