The Inspire Me Sundays...A week to recoup.

Pin It

I haven't posted here in the past few days and haven't commented on your lovely blogs either. I apologize! About a week ago the Kid came down with a one day flu. He got sick on Saturday but by Sunday he was OK. And on Monday the Little Guy started showing the same symptoms (that lasted for only a couple of days). Not surprising but by Tuesday my head started feeling heavy. The difference between Mom and kids is that they can rest when they want, cuddle as much as they want and pretty much get what they want when they are sick. Moms on the other hand...well, we don't get "sick" days. Naps are illusive, everybody is hungry and nobody wants to cuddle with a Mommy who uses half a box of tissues a day :(

I'd love to say that I feel better by now but that would be a lie :( It's hard to believe but it's been a month since we were sick last (it feels like it was a week ago!). The last time was around the holidays at the end of the year. This week I stayed inside the whole week. Yesterday I thought I was getting better, and we even went shopping for some much needed food (and I blew our budget for the month...but that's another story for a different post!). And today I went to Church in the morning but didn't last long. I had to go home because I started shivering and feeling overall miserable. And did I mention that I go through half a box of tissues a day...sigh...

Being sick totally killed all the inspiration in me. I would come to write here...and would just sit staring at a blank page. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to write about but just couldn't make myself do it.

Today my boys will go to celebrate some Birthdays with the family, and I'll stay at home and finally relax a bit. And hopefully, catch up on all the blog reading :)

To finish up, I will leave you with some inspiration today:

 Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!!

    Lovely quote!

    I think illness now lives at our house. I wish he would pay rent. The colds/flu/general ick this year seem to be lasting forever! I still have that cold those kids of mine gave me like 2 weeks ago! It is better but still here...ugh...I am sending your healthy and relaxing thoughts. May spring hurry up!

    There is a phase that you go through with young kids where they bring home every virus imaginable and give it to you. However, it doesn't last forever as they go through a lot of them and build up their immunities. Then finally, the illness spread out and no one is sick as often. Hope that phase is coming for you soon. In the meantime, feel better.

      I think they have better immunities than I do right now :) But I do hope this stage will pass very soon.
