So the past couple of days I haven't been feeling quite right. The typical signs of a cold/flu: achy body, congestion, headache, sore throat...and just plain ol' don't have energy. It all started last Sunday, but of course, I ignored the signs. Yesterday I spent the entire day in bed and it looks like today is going to have a similar story.
But man...this sucks! I hear the kids running by my house, laughing and having a good time. Or the sound of the volleyball being smacked over the net and cheers of applause when someone makes a good play. And some of the kids even came to check on me yesterday, chanting my name outside my window "Ilene! Ilene! Ilene!" Damn cold...go away! I want to play!
I guess this is a good lesson in self-care: when you're "on" 24/7 with kids, you've gotta make sure that you're giving yourself enough time to step back, relax, and rejuvenate yourself...because if you don't, well, then you spend days in bed catching up with yourself.
Hopefully I'll be back in full swing tomorrow. If not, the Cloetes want to take me to the doctor.
Appreciating positive, healing energy sent my way,
Ilene
