This being a three day weekend, Ben decided to share his lovely cold with me. Children can be so giving and generous at times. For the most part, I really hate being sick. But there are a few perks, those being 1) letting my house be wreck 2) if Ben is sick too he snuggles and I LOVE that 3) Mark waits on me hand and foot 4) I feel like I can complain without reservation 5) I can say "no" to things without thinking twice about whether someone will be offended or not...I'm SICK OK!
The funny thing is I laid in bed most of the morning and afternoon yesterday feeling miserable but somehow found the energy and fortitude to go shopping with my mom and Grandma for my birthday present. Its shopping people, SHOPPING, even the black plague would not have kept me from this once in a lifetime experience. The best part is I got to pick out something I wanted no matter the price AND Ben stayed at home with Mark. Shopping kid-free is not to be underestimated, ever. So I had a great time all the while sneezing into the crook of my arm and saying "oh, I'm fine, its nothing!" After shopping I went right back to being sick and sorry for myself. Not one of my proudest moments in life, but hey I got some really cute stuff!
Ha! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI was going to go shopping today kid-free but decided to take a nap instead. Silly me.
You are so funny. By the way, when exactly is your birthday?
