I could really use a sub today. You know, a substitute. I woke up this morning feeling VERY feverish, head pounding, eyes feeling as though they will pop right out of their sockets, sinuses a step away from bursting through my cheeks… I believe there may be a sinus infection brewing in my body. I just want to curl up and go into hiding. Henceforth, the NEED for a sub as today has proven busy already and it’s only 7:15A.M. Sigh.
The grocery shopping, household supply pick-up, bank run, health food store visit all is on the agenda for the day. There are a couple of pots that should be scrubbed, a floor that NEEDS sweeping, and laundry that should find its way to, at least, the right rooms. A toddler/preschooler who needs to be entertained and her questions constantly answered. Burgers that need to be cooked. Noses and bottoms that need to be wiped. Additional cleaning/laundry washing appreciated, but not necessary. A kindergartener that needs to be picked up from his school and transported home, fed and entertained/supervised until therapist arrives. Supervision of therapy session and assistance in session as necessary. At least 2 separate dinners prepared, one to be gluten/casein/egg free…
Alright, wishful thinking. I’m off to attempt to close my eyes for a 1/2-hour before I can call the doctor’s office and get started on the rest of my day.
Happy news — Christian got on the bus with NO TEARS! this morning! Mentally doing cartwheels right now! 🙂

Ugh! It sounds like one of those days where you just do the bare minimum to get through, and lay on the couch with the kids running circles around you the rest of the day.
I remember once when I had the stomach flu leaving the baby on the changing table for a minute because I was about to pass out . . .
Not fun.
But “This too shall pass!”
