A sick day???

So do mom's ever get a real sick day?? I have watched my whole family get the "crud" the past couple of weeks, and I have been there at their beck and call for whatever they needed. I have gotten up in the middle of the night with sick ones, I have made "sick" beds on the couch, I have made hot tea, etc. I get so lucky to start feeling the crud creep up on me Friday night (while I was wearing the hottest shirt ever!!! You know it Kendra!! LOL). I was hoping a hot cup of tea would make me feel better, but it didn't. I woke up yesterday with my skin crawling, so I hoped that some Advil would make me feel better, it was only temporary. I carried on with my day. I didn't stop my "motherly" duties. I didn't have anyone to give me a wet rag, or to leave me to my room alone while I try and sleep, I even made my OWN hot tea. I get home last night after furniture shopping (because Anna really needs new bedroom furniture, and like I said--the day didn't stop), and as soon as the kids were in bed, I crashed. I was not feeling well. I wake up this morning, and I have no voice!!! You all know me, I LOVE to talk!!! This is killing me!!! I have my peeps that I have to talk to daily, and it is hard to whisper on the phone!! Well, I did get to have the morning to myself. Steve was kind enough to take all 3 kiddos to church. I just laid on the couch, and I felt so guilty!! I had dirty dishes in the sink along with a small pile of laundry needing to be folded. Honestly, I didn't have it in me to do a thing. I had the chance to actually be take a little "sick" time, and I soaked it up!!! Of course, this only lasted a couple of hours. Shortly the herd was back home, and my sick day was over. I ended up helping Steve with some yard work later this afternoon, I even half way entertained a guest. I am pooped!!! All I gotta say is there must be a special place for mom's up in Heaven. It is an exhausting job!! I love my hubby, and he is a great dad--but there are just some things that a mom does best, and kids get accustomed to that! (Possibly there is a few things I could let slip...) So I will go to bed soon, and the yard is done, the dishes are put away, and that pile of laundry--well it is still sitting there. I am hoping one day that the piles of laundry will fold themselves. That is the only house chore that I despise doing. Folding clothes...ughhh.
So goodnight all, and hopefully I will have somewhat of a voice tomorrow!!!
