When my kids are sick it breaks my heart. I know that they just aren’t feeling good and they are not themselves. But I have to say that secretly (well it’s not secretly anymore) that I enjoy it a bit because it sloooooows them down. They just want to cuddle and relax. I LOVE IT!
When we are all sick is when it is the best! Weird huh? That way we ALL want to cuddle, relax and sleep all day. I love days like that – and they are VERY few and far between. (That’s probably why I love them so much.)
But what happens when I am the one who is sick?
Who takes care of me?
NO ONE.Do the kids take care of themselves?
NOPE.Are the kids usually worse?
YEP.Can I get anything done?
Not usually.
Being sick just makes the day 10 times harder. It is enough work just to make the kids breakfast and lunch, get some crafts for them to do, try to keep them from killing each other and get some dinner on the table. And when I do get an hour to myself during naptime – I just want to sleep.
Approach these days just like you would if you were sick and worked outside the home. RELAX AND STAY HOME. Do your best to get through the day. Everyone has sick days and everyone needs to veg. Now – we just had a looong weekend so it can be hard not to dive back in – but you have to. WHY? To take care of yourself. That way the next day you will be better than you were the day before.
What are your thoughts?
Do you get work done?
