Duty calls. No matter how you feel. Want to pick up and call out sick? Not this time honey. In the life of a SHM (Stay at Home Mom) there are no sick days. Have a head ache? Take an Aspirin. The show must go on. No matter how you feel, sick or not, when you’re a mother your day does not stop until everyone is asleep. For the past few days I have been dealing with being sick. This is my first time since my daughter has been born that I have been sick. Of course I have gotten the occasional headache or stomach ache but this is the first time that I actually had to deal with a sickness and take care of a baby at the same time. I remember before when I would get sick I would curl up in a blanket all day in front of the TV, drinking hot tea and I would get better in the next day or so. Now, I don’t get the chance to just curl up and relax so it takes longer for me to get better. It actually seems to me like I might be getting worse.
After dealing with this sickness for the past few days I am realizing how much I need to take care of myself. Here in California it’s hard to keep track of the weather. You never know when it’s going to rain or not or if it’s going to be hot or cold outside. I have to learn to prepare myself for both. If it’s nice outside but I know I am going to be out late, I have to remember to bring a jacket. Growing up I always remember my mom telling me, “Take a jacket.” as I walked out the door for a night out. I would always answer back, “I’ll be fine.” but I never was. Now I know. Mommies know best!
I really hope I can start feeling better soon and get back to feeling like a super mom. I have so many projects I want to get to in the next few weeks.
Till tomorrow friends
