Musings from my mind...

because not all great minds think alike.

Motherhood.

So far it has been my most favorite life experience. Also the hardest, but so very worth it. It has so many perks... endless smiles, a long list of firsts, sweet moments of love and the sheer awe that is watching my children grow. No matter what the future may hold, right now- I am a very happy person and lucky to be called, Mom.

But, there are days... days like today where I feel like running away, quite possibly kicking and screaming along the way. Days where I think the night will never come and my husband may never find his way home from work. Days that draaaaaaaaag on and on and on and on...

and on.

I'm sick, my face feels like it might explode. Medicine, both natural or chemical seem to laugh at me. My boys are sick too, and their germs are just as stubborn as mine. I went to volunteer at my daughter's school but the neighbor that watches my boys forgot, so I was late. I was late picking them up because my car wouldn't start. Dinner was messed up- but I didn't eat anyway because I had a meeting. Traffic was terrible and dinner dishes were still on the table/counter when I made it back.

*sigh*

I should just go to bed now, but there is a pile o' laundry that needs to be attended too first.

So here I sit, wishing this day would come to a close and I can wake up tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that these germs will have taken the back seat and my body will be on the road to recovery. Same goes for my little guys, because a house cannot function with sick a sick mom AND kids. :-)

Most of all, I hope that tomorrow brings me one of those carefree and happy days that builds up my love and happiness reserves, so that I can survive the next impending today.

Don't those germs know...........mom's don't have time to be sick?!?!?! Dirty little rascals!!!  Even on good days sometimes I feel that my only goal after getting up in the mornings, is making it to bedtime without completely losing it.  Hope you feel better soon.

And you're still not feeling any better, are you? Medicate thyself, I sez. Lots of love!
