After over a week of feeling ridiculously weak, tired, and sore… oh ya, and coughing consistently…. I have a little energy this morning! Yesterday was the first day I did not take a nap, actually sleep most of the day if you can call that a nap. I have spent more time on the internet and facebook this last week then the entire last year! I didn’t even care if my house was clean, now that is just not me!
The kids are off to school, the house is quiet. I’m looking at my bed and thinking a nap looks good, but I know I would feel a lot better later if I clean my house and keep coughing up this crud in my lungs.
This last week the kids were very sweet and helpful. They helped clean the kitchen most nights. And they all came back to my room in the evenings to read to me. It’s not very often I slow down to enjoy peaceful time with each one of them. Maybe there was a bigger reason why I was sick. Maybe I needed a kick in the butt to slow down and pay attention to more important things. Actually it was a kick in the lower back, joints, and chest!
