Sometimes I Think It Would Be Nice to Be Sick

I usually think about it when I am really busy. I wax poetic about how I would get a few days to do nothing and would just get to rest in bed.

I now am at the point where I realize that this kind of thinking is idiotic.

Jack and Molly have both been sick for part of the week, and then yesterday, I got sick. And, I remembered that the time spent not doing anything and staying in bed is not fun and it's not really restful. In fact, it stinks.

The kids are finally feeling better, so I'm praying to not be too far behind them. On the up side, I don't think I'll be wishing to be sick again any time soon.

I hope you're feeling better soon. Megan was sick earlier in the week, now Brian is. I'm hoping it passes over me.

Hope you're on the mend soon! But I understand what you mean about wishing you were sick, but really, what you're wishing for is a chance to rest. And unfortunately, most women don't know how to take time for themselves.

I hope you feel better soon. I agree, I also have those thoughts sometimes and then remember that actually being sick is not fun at all!

Plus, it's not like I get that much extra help when I'm sick, so it just makes everything worse!

And if I'm going to be sick, then I always wish for it to make me magically thin. Alas, when I'm sick I always lay around and munch on stuff, so thinness never happens!

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I hope you will soon feel like eating some of those cucumbers!
