I am home sick today with a cold or the start of one. I have learned over the years if I catch it early and rest and stop going a gazillion miles an hour then I can save myself suffering later. Staying home sick is like a love/hate relationship for me. I secretly enjoy laying in bed or on the couch sleeping or watching mindless TV on TLC. This is my first time home sick with the new world of blogs so I am spending way too much of my time reading tons of past posts. The hate comes from my internal guilt-if I am well enough to be up on the computer I should work on my homework (I tried-got a whole two paragraphs written with more backspacing of words and sentences then actual writing), AND if I am well enough to do homework on the couch I should have gotten dressed this morning and went to work.
I also secretly enjoy having the WHOLE HOUSE TO MYSELF which today I actually don't. Youngest Son-The Mighty Q had the school nurse call HOME around 10:00 to say he had a stomach ache AND he wanted to keep me company. I could hear the nurse in the background laughing her a&* off. I on the other hand here was not lauging, but after talking to his little sweet voice went and picked him up. Call me soft or a bad mom but the second best thing to having a house to myself is having it alone with just one son so I will get over it.
I did make a fierce avocado, bacon and tomato wrap that was yummy, always good to know I am not to sick to eat:)
Now take a shower or nap on the couch with kids movie I have seen a million times on??

it's good to know that your kids love you so much, they can't bear to think of you at home ALL ALONE with no one else around. what a sweetie, though.
you deserve a day off. kill the guilt and enjoy your nap. if you're lucky, maybe tomorrow will be a snow day...:)
Yeah, no guilt required! It's prevention, enjoy your day!
I know nothing I say here will ultimately change who you are (which is why you feel the way you feel), but I do hope that you can come to terms with the fact that you have earned down-time and should be able to take it, guilt-free, when needed.
That glass of Merlot will go a long way towards helping. :-)
