Being Sick

Being sick is no fun! If you know me, I haven't been sick in years! I'm always ready to go and never complaining about being sick. So, it was a shock to family and friends when they heard that I have been down for two whole days. Some where scared that something was really wrong, but nothing serious.

On Sunday morning I woke up and my whole body hurt from head to toe. I stayed in bed all day on Sunday and all day on Monday. Don't get me wrong it was nice staying in a nice warm bed and not doing anything at all, but I didn't realize how much I'm missed.

First of all my family is great, but they all have their faults. One of these faults is not picking up after themselves. I can wake up every morning and find my husbands sock along side the bed and my childrens clothes from the day before on the floor in the bathroom. Like a good mother, I would pick it up without saying a word. Well, now time has changed and I'm tired of being a maid all the time. So, lately if I find clothes on the floor I would pick them up, fold them and put them back in their rooms. Caitlyn was pretty happy that she always had clothes ready to go until she realized I never washed them. She was not happy with that idea and thought that was gross!!! So, she is picking stuff up and my husband, well it's taking him a little bit longer but I have faith in him.

Anyway, since I was sick they were doing alot for me. That's when they all realized how much I do for them. I just don't sit at home all day long and do nothing. I actually work and keep working until my head hits the pillows. I did get lots of hugs and I love you mom alot that day. I think it finally sank in their heads how much I do for them without being paid for it or even being reconized for the things I do. I think it was a good thing that I got sick because like the saying goes... a mother is someone you never outgrow your need for....it's so true.
