Even though a virus or infection has put every cell in my body into a choke hold. I am such a wuss. I am deeply irritated with myself for becoming highly ill. I consider illnesses in myself to be a personal failure. Other people? Here’s some chicken soup and Tylenol, you poor sweetie. Why can’t I be that nice to me?
Posting has always been hit or miss here, no? Expect more of the same until I arise from the rubble of a thousand wadded Kleenexes to triumphantly declare through hoarse voice and teary bloodshot eyes that I am back.
You poor thing…hope you feel better soon!
I’m the same way…feel like a failure when I get sick. Especially because I’m always telling people how to eat healthfully to avoid illness. Praise the Lord I’ve only had a cold 3x in the last 3 years.
So don’t be down–gather ’round your minions (the wadded kleenex) and treat yourself to a day of chicken soup if you need to.

Awwwwwwww, pobricita! I am so sorry. Be gentle with yourself, mama.
Push fluids. Take your vitamin Cs. Feel better!
I am the same exact way- wondering what I’ve done to deserve feeling this way. Oh yeah- I got pregnant! But I do hope you are better very soon!

I feel the same way!!! Like we should be “above” getting sick. But I don’t feel like others are weak because they get sick. What’s up with the double standard?!?
Feel better.

Baby yourself. Or make someone else. You deserve it.
Well wishes to you!

Just getting over a cold myself, I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery. And as a courtesy, I’m trying very hard to hold in a particularly violent cough right now, because I don’t think you need any more germs over there.
Rest up!

Hope you’re feeling better soon! Good luck getting some rest with all the kids…remember that DVDs are your friend at times like this!

There is some major nasty flu bugs going around here. I have heard they are brutal so we are praying they stay away. Hope you feel better soon!

Oh dear! I’m so sorry…I wish I lived closer (closer? How about close at ALL?) so I could bring you chicken soup and make sure you had all the menthol-impregnated, lotion coated tissues you need. I would plump your pillows and bring you mindless magazines and watch stupid movies that make you laugh even though they bring on coughing fits…
I would. But I can’t.
Instead, take this cyber (((((HUG))))), even though it doesn’t help nearly as much.

Oh I am right there with you, crusty eyes and all. However, I have found that Cadbury mini eggs make me feel WAYYY better than chicken soup. Feel free to steal that idea.
From one snotty couch to another–feel better!

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself. I feel that same failure if I get sick.
