Today is a day I would have called in sick, if I worked outside of the home.
Today is a day that I would have spent lying in bed, sleeping and medicated, if I didn't have little ones.
Today is a day that I would have done absolutely nothing and called to ask someone that loved me to bring me soda and crackers and kleenex and medicine, if things were different.
But I don't work outside the home. I have little ones. Things are not different.
Moms don't get sick days, eh? Same old story. Since we are 'at home' we don't get to call in sick. We have to just soldier on and take care of everyone else, praying we make it until bedtime or daddy gets back from work - whichever will offer the most relief. Hardly seems fair, does it? That the one who is up all night with the kids and the one that is tending to all the needs of everyone else can't even take 24 hours to rest and try to get well before tackling the next round of crisis/illness/fighting/decision making/cleaning/tending/refereeing (just pick whatever fits).
So, with my body aching like I got mugged in the crack alley behind the porn store by a guy with a baseball bat, my head spinning like I just went three rounds on the tilt-a-whirl, my face feeling like it's going to explode off of my skull due to the increasing pressure - I'm going to make it through the day. If I can keep my eyes open and stop shivering, that is.
Here's those TuTu Tutorials:

Awww, I'm sorry you are sick. I can't imagine being sick and not being able to take a "sick day". Hang in there, you'll be in my thoughts today.
Adding you to my prayer list. Rest as well as you can.
You are in the same world of hell that I was in for the last 2 days. My hubby had to work all weekend so I had to chase around my boy when all I wanted to do was sleep. Thank God for naps.
aww man. hope you feel better. and now i have one of those commercials in my head.
Oh Heidi! I'm so sorry you are sick! Wouldn't it be nice if we could call in sick every once in a while??? I hope you feel better soon!
XOXO

Sorry you aren't feeling well...Wish there was something I could do from waaaaay over here. I guess I'll just have to send some cyber hugs and get well wishes your way. {{{{Heidi}}}}
Adding you to my prayers along with Stellan. I am worried that no news on MckMama's blog is bad news. Here's praying for everyone.
I so feel your pain! It just doesn't seem fair, like, there is a major glitch in the plan. Though, I suppose once your kids are grown, they can take care of you 24-7. That would even things up a bit,eh?
Poor baby, just lay down and you'll be alright, take lots of medicine, drink some nice chicken broth and catch up on the soaps...works every time.
Poor Heidi! You've just described the number one thing that irritates me about being a mother: Not being able to take time for myself when I am sick.
I hope that Rob gets to come home a little earlier tonight and that he will help you get a little rest.
You can't even quit the whole mom job. Believe me, I've tried!
I hope you feel better soon.
Oh sorry you are sick!!! Mom's can't get sick, at least that's what my kiddos like to think!
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Hey Heidi,
Feel better soon...sounds yucky...miserable! Hugs and prayers from AR.
Oh, I hope you feel better soon. I think I am starting to get something too!!!
aaawww, I am so sorry you are not feeling well. So how is it that us moms don't get sick days....????? WE need to find out how to work that one out :). I pray you will feel better soon :)
Oh, man, the being beaten up things is probably one of your best descriptions!! Hope that it doesn't last too long.
Oh, Heidi, I DEFINITELY feel your pain girl! Mama needs a "mental health" day right now. If I lived closer, I would SO bring you soda, crackers, kleenex & medicine. I don't know what things aren't different, but it wouldn't matter to me. I'd bring you that stuff anyway. And probably help with the kids and stuff at that. Hope that you get better soon girl.
Thanks for the tutututorial. :)
Hope you get to feeling better soon. Keep on trucking Super Mom, I know you can do it. Saying a prayer for you!
OH Heidi I am so sorry you are sick!!!!! I hope you feel better soon!! ((hugs))
Oh, you poor thing! If I lived closer? I'd come take care of your kids so you could rest. I love their big smiles. You? Get some rest!
Sorry to hear, well read, that you aren't feeling good. Hope you feel better soon. :)
Wow!! That's hard core! I hope you feel better soon.
