Sick Day

I have the flu.
My husband rocks.
I just left my bedroom for the first time in like, 10 hours, and wow. My house looks like a bomb went off in it.
I'm grateful for a best friend who reminds me with her good attitude to look for the positive spin on lousy days. I may have the flu, but I have the flu on a Saturday, and that means I just spent 10 hours in my bed!

I took a "sick day".

Dear Moms,
When is the last time you were able to take an actual sick day? I've been racking my brain and since I had children, I honestly don't think I have ever taken a full blown, real life, actual sick day. But that's what I had today. Aaron took care of the children all day, and periodically took my temperature, then brought me meds, kleenex, and fluids. I "called in sick", checked out of reality, holed up in my bedroom for 10 hours and "took the day off". It's like being a guy. I have no idea why men are such babies when they get sick. I had a fever of 105* last night and I feel like absolute garbage, but today was pretty freaking awesome. Bedside service, unlimited napping, and no responsibility? Hellz yes.

I'm on a lot of medication right now and probably shouldn't be allowed near the computer.
Props to Aaron for rockin' the Super Dad cape today.

LIKE!

Not that you have the flu-that you were able to take a real sick day.

Your house will survive. How glad are you that you folded 7 loads of laundry before you got sick? At least the kids aren't running around naked! ;P

AND you still have Sunday to recover before Super Dad leaves the building to go to work. Yeah.

Feel better.
