I really don’t like being sick. There is no time for it! I work full time, have two very active little boys that need my attention – insert even a small cold there and it throws off the whole day/week.
When I get sick, the first thing I want to do (besides get better VERY fast) is crawl into bed and prepare my nightstand for the day. I stock up on tea or water, TV remote controls, the current book that I am reading, magazines and my Kleenex tissues. I put on HGTV and I am in that bed for the next 8 hours. Chicken soup is another favorite of mine when I am sick. My mom calls it Jewish penicillin. I swear it helps to make me feel better!
When I was little and would stay home from school because I was sick, I would watch TV all day and wait for my dad to come home from work. He would always bring me a new coloring book and crayons (and I still love to color). One of my friends would bring home my school work for the day. Wow…that was so long ago! (My parents would also let me have “mental health” days – I think 2 times a year. These were days that I would wake up and just not feel like going to school. I treasured those days and would go back to school the next day refreshed.)
