I am so sick of being sick. Just when I get better and start getting a handle on things, something else hits. Our son was in the hospital for several days when he was ill a couple of weeks ago. Then we came home, and my aunt who was visiting from out of town became horribly ill, and then our daughter, and then my husband and I got it at the same time. I'd just managed to catch up on all of the laundry when my friend brought her daughter over with a cold. Our son got it, then I got it, now my husband and I both have it. I'm growing accustomed to the taste of my own snot, but I'm sick of not being able to speak properly. Plus, my occupation is such that I cannot work on people when I'm ill. I won't be responsible for getting my clients sick!

This is very stressful, especially with the hospital bill that just arrived. Now the fridge isn't working properly, and the drier is about to die. We were hoping to pay off some of our debt with our tax return, but it doesn't look like it is going to work that way.

I just want to sleep for a week. How come mommies don't get to take the day off when they're sick the way that daddies do?
