I was feeling under the weather a few days ago. Fortunately for me, it was a weekend. The Husband kindly told me to stay in bed–for the entire day!
I took medicine. I channel surfed a bit. I dug into a new book. If I was feeling particularly energetic, I knitted.
Mostly, though, I slept. And I forced myself to feel no guilt whatsoever.
The Husband explained to The Crew that Mommy wasn’t feeling well, and that they were going to let me rest. Occasionally, a little worried face would peek at me from the doorway. This would then lead to sweet kisses “to help Mommy feel better!”
It was a glorious day.
Perhaps I should be “sick” more often. I could use up all the copious amounts of sick leave that I’ve accrued during my stay-at-home-mothering days!
Glad to hear that you were able to REALLY REST this weekend. Thankfully your husband was able to take care of the kids too. Amazing what a good bit of sleep can do. Hope you’re feeling better.
Ahhh…it’s so nice to get a day to sleep in and lay in bed for a while. Hope you’re feeling better now.
