Mom Down! Mom Down!
>> Tuesday, July 21, 2009
This is going to be short & sweet and it will probably drain whatever energy I have left in my body.
It's been a week since my last post. It probably was the longest week of my life. My Marine's deployment didn't even feel this long.
I've been sick....very, very sick. Fever, chills, nose that either won't stop running or is so stuffed up that I sound like Lou Rawls trying to do an Elmer Fudd imitation. And the cough - don't get me started on the cough. I think I left a part of my lung back in the Safeway last week. On top of it all, my Marine was gone all last week for his annual training -- which means that it was just me, a box of Kleenex, and the girls.
The girls - who were feeling 100% better after the parasites that invaded their body decided to make a new home in mine.
The girls - who wanted to play with mommy, climb all over mommy, read with mommy ever single waking moment - when all I wanted to do was lay on the couch and curse my Marine.
The girls - who didn't understand that mommy is sick because moms don't get sick. Don't you know that? It's in the mommy manual.
I'm finally starting to feel a little better now, but I'm still so freakin' exhausted that I could probably fall asleep...............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............
Sorry about that.....
I know I still need to pick a winner from my book giveaway, so stay tuned for that. Now I'm off to take another dose of vitamin C, throw some clothes on and take Nani to ballet class -- because, even though mommy is sick, the world must still move on....
