I've been sick for over a week now and I still get up every morning and do all the things I do everyday for my family. I also babysit a 22 mos old little boy along with my own 2 year old. These kids keep me pretty busy.
I'm not complaining because I love my family and after being a working mom my entire life I cherish the time I now have with my kids. My 12 year old isn't happy about it I'm sure because I know exactly what his homework is for the day even before he walks in the door.
I just wish for one day I could stay right here tucked in my bed and just sleep this cold off. I saw a great challenge on Jeni Boisvert's blog that her and Dena Coe did last week about saying NO. I want to do this challenge because that's how I was feeling last week. I wanted to say No to babysitting, ironing my husband's shirts and packing his lunch, monitoring my son's homework on School Notes, cooking dinner, doing laundry....NO NO NO I can't take care of all your needs, I need to take care of me today.
Hopefully I'll feel up to finshing my layout and then a few of my favorite card challenges today. Thanks for stopping by!

Awwww, big hugs!!! Hope you feel better soon!!!
sucks having no time off when you are sick - wishing you better FAST!!!
as a SAHM, I feel you...I had the dreaded flu (but not H1N1) 2 weeks ago and I said NO to all my family's demands-crawled in bed with juice and Excedrin PM and guess what? my husband worked from home for 2 days, did stuff for the kids (who knows what they ate) and they didn't die!! I wasn't totally well when I got up days later, but the sleep helped me-you need to do the same....it took me 3 weeks to bounce back and I had tons of stuff piled up, but I needed the rest more. Feel better!!! Try and get some sleep even if you take a "sleep aid" at 5pm-let soembody else hold the fort down till the next am....
