I've been sick for almost 3 days now and am hating every minute of it. The thing that is getting to me the most is not being able to workout. I had such a good routine going and then I get slammed with a cold. I tried not to give in to it on Monday and did a good job just pushing thorough the day, Tuesday I figured going to the gym would help me sweat it out and then Tuesday night my body said Hell no you need to rest and I was down. It really sucks that you can't call in sick to being a mama because I felt like I needed someone to step in. Thankfully my oldest was able and willing to help out. Wednesday I felt like my head was going to pop and today my chest feels like it is on fire. I can't stop sneezing and I feel like shoving a tissue up my nose to stop the draining. I had a comment the other day from a lady who said she thought about us(military wives) when she would get sick and wondered what and how we do it, well, we just keep going, when your other half isn't here to help you can't stay in bed, you can't not cook, or take them to school. I have a friend who could help but really she can't come and make us dinner or get there showers done or help with homework, she has her own family to take care of and she works. It would be perfect if there was a military back up helper for us who have our other halfs gone but they don't budget for that:) I'm thinking healthy thoughts and hope to be better by this weekend.
So the highlight of my week was getting this early Mother's day and birthday present for myself. I had asked hubby for this but knew it was unreasonable to spend that much money on a purse so I thought the money was better spent here. I have played with it alittle but I haven't had much energy to do a lot so maybe this weekend.
I hope you start feeling better soon! I'm praying for you!
