• Sometimes when life hands you a sick day....You take it!

  

  We have been running out straight here for 3 weeks.  It has been busy with me at the new job (so much to learn!), Nature Boy back at school, UU starting back up.....It's been hectic and stressful.  I had on my list a zillion things to do this weekend starting first thing this morning.

  But then life intervened.  I have not been feeling great the past few days.  I know it is stress and...well, there was a nasty bug going around the office (I'd say 4 or 5 people have been sick).  Last night, I could barely function and I emailed and canceled my morning commitment. (Which is a bummer because it was getting together with a friend, but I just couldn't do it....Luckily, she was understanding.)

  I still had a list of things I wanted and needed to do, but Nature Boy woke up this morning sick.  He has brewed a full-fledged nasty, miserable cold.  He is so sick, he opted out of his morning D&D game....For those of you who know my child, this means he is REALLY sick!

  So, all my busy plans for today have come to a screeching halt.  We are hanging around the house in PJs and drinking tea and hot chocolate and chicken noodle soup.  It is just the kind of day I need!  Heck, maybe I will be motivated to get out my knitting....I can't even remember the last time I knit.

  So, while I am never happy when my child is sick...I think I will take the opportunity to just hang out around the house and have some quiet time.  My batteries sure can use some recharging.
