Mommies Get Sick Too

Posted by Dexie

And when they do, it's a disaster. House is turned upside down, dishes on the sink, laundry ain't done, food is from a fast food restaurant. We all know the drill right?

I wasn't really sick in every sense of the word but I was feeling really crappy yesterday. I seriously need to remember to take my vitamins in the morning. I'm on my PMS so I'm feeling down, pissed off, exhausted, emotional and just tired. All day. It was hard for me to do anything. I was literally dragging myself off of the floor. How I managed to go for a walk for 45 minutes was beyond me. I forced myself to get out and get some fresh air. But afterwards, I felt so tired so after a nice shower, I drank 2 cups of coffee. I already had 1 cup early in the morning. For dinner I asked my husband to pick up some fried chicken and fixings. 'Twas good but minutes later I found myself puking my guts out. Sorry for being so graphic. My husband said it was too much coffee and the iced tea with dinner. I've given up on drinking iced tea but I thought I'd try a glass last night with dinner. My stomach didn't like it. Not to mention the exhaustion I had been feeling all day.

When I'm not feeling ok, I act like a baby. But I only acted like one for maybe 2 minutes when I asked my husband to hug me. It was nice and all but then there is a 14 month old little girl tugging at me the whole time. So a Mommy did what needed to be done. Snap out of it, shake it off and be a parent. That's what Mommies do, that's what parents do. Sick or not, the world is not just all about me anymore. It's about 2(+1) other human beings who rely on me 24 hours/day.

I'll just go shopping later this weekend to take care of myself coz yah know, I need that as much as they need me. HEHE!
