Back in the Day


A long time ago... well about 4 years ago when I was sick I got to lay in bed or on the couch until I was better. I really had nothing better to do. My soul mission was to get better... no matter what ailment I had. I hated being sick and I always made it worse by just laying there and doing nothing. I thought I was dying everytime. Well those times have changed. I have been sick for almost four weeks! It started with "cold like symptoms" and has resulted into bronchitis, both ears having a double ear infection, and of course a sinus infection. I am sick, really sick. But I don't have time to lay on the couch or in bed until I am better. Now looking back I realize that well it might make me better quicker it really isn't worth it. I am a mom, a wife, a friend and a teacher. I don't have time to be sick and I can't spend it laying down. I have to go about my usual life. I get up each morning (much earlier than I use to), change Johnny's diaper, make breakfast, feed kids, get kids dressed, do Hollin's hair, make believe like I am doing Johnny's hair, and then get myself presentable (or close) for the day. This is what I do, healthy or sick. I can't let being sick slow me down. I won't let being sick slow me down. I do feel like I now know what death feels like but hey, it didn't stop me. I am a mom, a wife, a friend and a teacher. I get to scratch the teacher title for 8 weeks but I am still a mom, wife and friend. I am woman, hear me roar! I will be better sometime and until then I am going to keep on truckin'. I love it! I love my life!
