This is what happens when Mommy is sick.

 

1. She decides (reluctantly) that she’s actually not well enough for work.
2. She goes to the Dr first thing, who diagnoses a chest infection and prescribes steroids, AB’s and a host of other meds.
3. She takes 5 phone calls from NBL WHILE she’s in the surgery and gets VERY annoyed because NBL is asking about stuff that she’s been copied in on a number of emails. Apparently she doesn’t read her mails. Who knew!
4. She is THRILLED that it’s the first chest infection in nearly 9 months! And that for the first time ever she doesn’t need to be nebulised. That can only be good right?
5. She picks up all the meds and comes home.
6. She makes a decent meal for herself. Toasted ham, cheese and tomato and a huge mug of iced tea.
7. She takes her meds.
8. She switches on her PC and catches up on blogs.
9. She decides (after about an hour) that she should probably get some sleep and rest.
10. Then she decides that she cannot possibly go and sleep in this pigsty.
11. So she cleans up.
12. After about 2 hours, she FINALLY gets into bed. She is knackered and feels like sh*t.
13. She sleeps for a good 4 hours. Then DH wakes her up with his LOUD knocking. Apparently he’s been trying to get hold of her (ostensibly to check if she’s still alive) but she forgot to charge her phone which has been dead for a while.  He makes her something to eat and she takes more meds.
14. She then goes with DH to collect the kids. I guess he didn’t want the kids to walk into the house with their Mommy being dead or whatever?
15. They stop at the Spar for some stuff because there is hardly anything in the house. She continues to cough a lung out.
16. She comes home and cooks WHILE DH sees to the kids.
17. She gets annoyed that she needs to cook. When DH is sick, she does EVERYTHING! Why can’t he cook AND see to the kids?????
18. She then goes to her appointment that has been pre-arranged for some weeks because she feels too bad to try to get out of it now. DH is VERY upset that she’s going out while she’s sick.
19. She comes home. Kids are sleeping. She takes her meds.
20. Now she’s going to bed. Tomorrow she will rest in a clean house. And NOT play on the internet so long. Maybe she will do a load or 2 of laundry. She’s a Mom after all and is technically not allowed to get sick. Unfortunately life must still go on. So annoying!
