I know there is never a good time to be sick, but there are worst times. Fall practices and games are in full effect for my kids. So I’ve been very busy trying to get everyone to where they need to be on time, while making sure they have everything they need. It’s a crazy, busy life, but I don’t mind it. However, when I’m sick everything just seems to be so much harder to do. The smallest task takes twice as long, and my patience is twice as short. Being sick doesn’t just suck for the obvious reason, but it also somehow makes me feel like I’m falling behind.
I’ve had to miss practices/games, and it has even become a challenge for me to write…now you know that’s bad. One of my daughters will be having her first field trip this week, and I volunteered (weeks ago) to be there. My husband may have some interesting career decisions to make which we’ll need to discuss and weight the pros and cons. There are three upcoming games, and numerous practices scheduled this week alone. And I am strongly considering joining a company selling custom jewelry. Which would mean I’d be self-employed. I would have to be motivated to sell on my own, get the word out to people, and then try to get them to buy from me.
I’ve been taking my Vitamin C, continuously disinfecting the house, eating tons of soup (while staying away from all the sweets that I love), and I’ve been drinking water like crazy. Can I be better already, please?
I also miss looking my best, or at least trying to. When I’m well, I rarely leave the house without make-up on (that’s just something I’ve inherited from my mother). And you’ll never find me in PJs at the store (not judging those that do, but that’s just not me). Even my casual/simple attire still takes a lot of coordinating on my part. But when I’m sick I can honestly tell you that I take a huge hit in the looks department.
There’s no point in putting on make-up when you’re sick. When all is said and done, you’ll still look (wait for it) SICK. And I don’t want to leave this virus on your favorite products, so I simply skip this part of my day altogether. Then there’s the issue of ‘clothes’. Why is it that what you normally love to wear no longer feel as comfortable, or look as good when you’re sick? I believe I’ve worn the most comfortable and colorless articles of clothing I own this past week. Let’s face it, being sick isn’t helpful nor sexy. Just in the time it has taken me to write this post I had multiple cough attacks, and have blown my nose dozen+ times.
All-in-all I do believe I’m up for all these challenges, it’s just that this ridiculous cold has temporally grounded thing to a halt. Yes, my life is busy (so what). I know I’m choosing to be more involved in things than I need to be (and that’s just me), and I’m not complaining. I just hate not being at 100%!!! I wish there was some way to speed up this process.
But as a mom; heck a parent, I know that this is just one of many colds that I will have this season. So I’m done boohooing (for now at least lol). It’s time for me to get started on dinner now. Though it is only noon this cold has made me slower, more forgetful, and aching. It may take me the better half of the day to complete this ‘one’ task.
Side Note: If your kid(s) come home sick quarantine them to their room(s); just kidding…or am I 😉
