Last week on the 6th my oldest daughter and I woke up sick, runny nose and a cough. We stayed home and tried resting and taking it easy so that we could get better. Fast forward to this week, Monday morning we both ended up at the Doctor's office. She has a sinus infection and I was border line pneumonia with bronchitis. We both were put on antibiotics on Monday, but yesterday was our worst day yet. Coughing all day, feeling miserable. She was feeling better today and had been on antibiotics for 24+ hours so she went back to school. I am feeling a little better than yesterday but still really tired and coughing. My poor little 5 year old started up coughing yesterday and today she is pretty sick. I hate when my kids are sick but I am so glad they didn't get it as bad as I did.
I really miss working out. I was finally in a good routine of 2 weeks straight working out 6 days a week. This illness has really put a stop to that.
I have amazing friends. Monday I had 2 friends just drop by with food for my family, and yesterday I had a friend drop by with some amazing chicken and potato soup. My kids, husband and I gobbled it up, it hit the spot. Thank you for your random acts of service, it means a lot to me. I have not been able to stand up more than 5 minutes at a time so bringing my family meals has helped more than I can express. Thank You!
I hope that I will start feeling more like myself. My lungs are really being hit hard this time. I had pneumonia this time of year 4 years ago, it was the worst feeling in the world to be so sick. I had a feeling I was on my way there this time so I am glad I went in to the doctor and he got me on medicine before it progressed into pneumonia.
It is really hard for me to just sit still and not do anything. My house is seriously upside down in filth and kid mess. The dishes are piled high, the laundry that I did all last week is piled high and not folded. Nahvi keeps cutting up paper and making crafts and the mess never ends. My husband is super busy at work so he has not been able to help like I had hoped.
Mom's should not get sick, we should get a free pass until our kids are older. I just want someone to take care of me but instead I have to get the kids food, clean up spills, find something for them to watch on t.v., there is always something. I am not getting the rest I should get because my 5 year old is a busy body, she always has something she needs my help with. I don't mind so much when I am feeling well, but it is too hard when I am sick.
Sorry for the rant post, I just hate feeling like this.

I'm so sorry you're sick. That is the worst. I hate being sick and not being able to workout. I hope you get feeling better soon and can get back in the routine of working out. Let me know if I can do anything for you.
