Mom’s get sick too

February 23, 2010 by Nutty Hiker Last Modified: September 28, 2017Leave a Comment

Just FYI Mom’s get sick too!

On Sunday I felt my husband’s cold being passed on to be. I really hate having a cold. Why? Because it just lingers on and on. I don’t like taking Medicine at all. Anyway, yesterday it really hit me and today it’s even worse. I think I may break down and take some cold medicine. I wasn’t even able to work out yesterday which was a bummer. I did try but ended up feeling sick to my tummy and decided that probably wasn’t the best idea.

So today I will do my usual chores (minus working out). My youngest son who is autistic has an appointment this afternoon all the way in Baltimore with his Behavioral Psychologist. It will take me about an hour to get there. And I will be leaving from there to come back home right in the middle of rush hour traffic. How nice. I really wish we could find doctor’s closer to where we live.

I think I will just call in sick tomorrow. Oh wait, Stay at home Mom’s don’t get to do that! LMAO! I think I am ready to go back to work away from home. Just so I can have vacation and sick time again!
