Mothering by the Mouthful

is having a lazy day
You know when you are having one of those (long overdue and long deserved but still you feel guilty about them) lazy days. Well I'm having one today and probably will have to have another one tommorow. You see I am still sick, and I truly don't like to use this outlet to complain and mope and be-atch, because truly I am using this outlet to documment mostly the beauty that is in my life, no need to focus on the negative. So yes what was i saying oh yes am still sick. Been sick on and off but mostly fully on since november. Last i checked it was january, and truth be told i am slightly ever so sick of being sick, however (and here comes the silver lining) being sick has it's perks.
- i am forced to go to bed early (both by not being able to hold my head up and the hubs)
-I don't have to drive to my bootcamp (this can also be seen as a negative but...)
-I can stay in my pj's and glasses and nasty hair and purple housecoat that my husband calls "the grimace"
-I can keep my kids in their pj's
-I can let the older kid watch t.v all day (okay not all day - we normally do NOT allow more than 30 minutes a day so this is truly a treat) i said NORMALLY
-Meaning I don't feel guilty at all about surfing my favorite blogs and jotting down all the projects i will create once i can breathe out of both nostrils
-sit on the couch and rest my eyes while baby is sleeping and eldest is being babysat by the telly
-not feel compelled to scrub the toilets, or wash all the dishes, swiffer the floors, vacumn, make the beds, put the laundry away, wash the laundry, clean the windows and so on and so on and so on

So there you have it, the positive side of being sick and making it bearable...now excuse me but it is advil and tea time and a round of memory for me and my boy while the baby is asleep....
