Got perspective?
I just need to vent for a minute so I'm apologizing in advance, but I need to get this off my chest. I have been sick all week. Fever, congestion, cough, just feeling like garbage. All I want to do is get some sleep, but I have two kids to take care of so I can't get the sleep my body so desperately needs. All I want is for my husband to be home to watch the kids so I can get some rest. But, it seems like there is always something going on. Between work and church it seems like he's gone a lot. Finally I have survived the entire week and I'm so excited it is Saturday so he'll be home to help me find our house after it's been buried in a week of Gabe running wild since Mom hasn't felt good. Well, guess what it's Saturday and hubby is gone again. As I was in the shower feeling bad for myself that I was on my own again I started thinking about how pathetic I was being. At least I have a husband who is hard working and willing to serve. Did I mention that he left me (his slightly ill and ornery, but perfectly capable wife) at home to go and help his boss move? His boss's wife (not even 40 years old) died of a heart attack just over a month ago. So yeah, I wish he were here with me, but I really need to count my blessings. My kids still have me in their life, my dishes need to be done, but at least there was food on our table, I'm tired of being sick, but it makes me appreciate being healthy. See where I'm going with this? I really just needed to find some perspective to get through the day. Hope you all have a blessed day!

Sometimes it is okay to feel sorry for ourselves. It makes us appreciate things and move on. As long as we are not stuck on it, we are fine. You are okay. I know you don't feel good and I KNOW what it feels like, but hang in there. I would tell you it gets easier, but it doesn't. Good luck making it through the next few days! We ar ethinking of you!
I'm sorry. Doesn't sound fun one bit! Good luck.
Yea...I really hate that perspective stuff! I feel plenty bad for you, but that doesn't get your house clean or your dishes done! But I am very proud of you (and so will Mimi) for counting your blessings! I know blessing counting really stinks sometimes...but way to go! Love you lots! XOXO
Being sick really doesn't help much does it, hope you feel better soon! And I am sorry my husband took yours away from you again tonight...lets say no more RISK for at least a month :)
I know what your saying since I have been sick the last few weeks and TROY is never home... But I always keep in mind that someone has it worse then me and this is my season... I also read blogs that make me straighten up really fast... But its okay to have these days and I think its okay to have pity parties..Like NANA would say this to shall pass....love ya and glad your feeling better...xo
