I am starting to come around. This is the sickest I have been in a very long time. I thought I would share a few things I learned while sick…
1) If you are running a fever and have had some medication, don’t bother trying to figure out who would be knocking at the door at 2 am.
2) Jammies are only fun the first day.
3) I have learned of a special talent I have to get a cough drop in just the right place in the roof of my mouth that it will stay there and I don’t choke on it. (Don’t try this on your own as I don’t want to get sued if you don’t have the same talent.)
4) Getting sick stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!
5) After spending two nights on the sofa sitting up and trying to sleep, I realize that I LOVE MY OWN BED!!! It is HEAVENish.
6) If you are trying to keep a lot of chemicals out of the home, what do you do after someone is sick so that it doesn’t go around? OK, so this is a question that I didn’t learn but if you have, please let me know.
7) I REALLY miss having family around. It’s very hard to take care of kids and yourself when your ill. My hubby had to work late on Monday and Tuesday. I needed chicken noodle soup in the worse way! 😦
8) Have you ever thought that cows don’t have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner? They just graze all day. But that may show in a swimsuit 🙂 (Did I mention lots of days with a fever?)
9) My oldest was very helpful in getting up and doing his own breakfast and getting to the bus on time by himself.
10) My house is a disaster zone and I get to clean it up 🙂 YEAH!
Bonus – I am sooooo thankful for getting better and all the wonderful people who sent me a well wish!
I am trying not to overdue it but it’s a war zone out there!
Have a “Sick-Free” Day!

I’m glad to hear you are feeling better. The flu went through here not too long ago. That strain was NASTY.
Anyhow tea tree oil is a natural disinfectant. Good luck!
