This is not the week to get sick!

Can you believe I woke at 2:30 this morning with body aches and a sore throat?  I have to make it through today.  Daughter and I already met with her counselor this morning and we will meet son's teacher later.  Thankfully hubby has 5 vacation days saved that have to be used before Sept. 12 and his boss gave him the go-ahead to use one tomorrow.  If I am better, great!  If not, at least hubby will be able to help out with all there is to do for the kiddos. 

I want to curl up in the bed now and shut my eyes, but it will make it harder to go later today!

Listen to your body Shauna,
If it says stay in bed maybe you should or at least a little nap.
I hope you get to feeling better very soon.
There are alot of holistic over the counter stuff out now that I think really helps.

Annie, you were so right.    I fought laying down for awhile this afternoon, then finally gave in after reading your post.  I was asleep the moment my head hit the pillow and was so very thankful for that cat nap after I woke up!  Took some ibuprofin and went to meet the teacher, which went fabulous.  I don't think it would have went as well had I not had that nap! 

In my next life I hope to be a country doctor.
Glad the nap helped.
If you were near by we could enjoy the hot tub and then nap.

Hey Shauna,

I'm so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, but I'm glad that your hubby is willing and able to provide support so that you can take care of yourself.

Feel better,

Barb

Thanks, Barb.  Don't know what I'd do without my man!    The ibuprofin I took earlier helped get me through the evening and I'm ready to curl up and go to sleep when it wears off. 

Hi Shauna,

I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well, but hope you will soon be all better.  In all the hustle and bustle of life and motherhood, don't forget to take care of YOU, as well as everyone (and everything) else!!

Best wishes,
Cathy W.

Thank you, Cathy!  It's easy to put ourselves last as moms, isn't it?  Hustle and bustle is right.  Really looking forward to the quiet on Thursday! 

Hey Shauna:

Hope you made it through the day and are now snuggled up on your couch or bed and just chilling out!  Take care of yourself girl!

I'm in bed now...favorite comfy-est gown on, puppy snuggled at my side, browsing the forum.    Hubby is telling me to sleep in tomorrow and keep the little man with me.  He'll do freshman orientation with daughter from 9-12.  She has a hair/brow appt. at 4:30 so if I feel like it I'll go get my brows done with her.  If not, he's happy to take her there too.  I love that man.    Thanks for your thoughts, Pam!
