Hey there..this is not a "feel sorry for me post" about the fever; chills and headaches I'm still going through from the detox..(that was long over due) or the time I'm having to spend in the bathroom..no actually I'm good.

Really..I am.

Because this SAHM now going on 3 yrs..knew my days of "sick leave" where long gone when I hung up my career apron in exchange for the one in my kitchen.

Besides it's our duty to be able much less capable to fill our rolls with the little people whom call on us for e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g even when we are feeling puny.

Anyways ~ how would they survive without me while I'm under the weather, seriously I'm irreplaceable ;)

Guess what though?

(Jaw dropped) I'm actually getting "sick leave" and this  just goes to show that small miracles do happen to selfish people like me.  My dh has called in twice now so that I may have this down time..he is onto my love language right now..*it's a shame I'm not well right now (wink wink) I'm sure he has heard me say something along these lines but truly I'm still so thankful for his unselfish actions..and the fact that he has the desire to do this for me..and the kids.

(insert bathroom break here)

So don't feel sorry for me..because really I'm doing so much better right now just knowing I can be sick and not have another to care for.

I've "called in sick" on hosting at the mom's meeting tonight..so I'm totally not responsible for anything and you know what it really takes a load off when you can simplify things, then being "under the weather" doesn't seem so bad. I believe the recovery time is sped up also.

Not that I'm promoting sickness or anything, no I'm thinking that's better saved for "vacation leave"that's a whole other post. ;)

Be well

Be safe

Be blessed by your answered prayers.

Oh Dawn, I hope you feel better VERY soon. Going to say a prayer for you before I go to bed.

You know what though? You are funny even when you are sick. I snorted over the "Insert bathroom break here" thing. And you KNOW I love me a good snort :)

Feel better speedy quick!

Hope you feel better, soon! Hey, guess what? You know you're a SAHM when the idea of sick leave seems more like a vacation.
