Today went in a much different direction than I was hoping for. I woke up this morning and immediately felt cruddy. I knew I wasn’t going anywhere or doing anything today. I didn’t even get dressed or put on make-up. I didn’t mind the not getting dressed or wearing make-up part. But one thing is for sure: being sick and being a mom at the same time is not easy. I’m lucky enough to have had help from my Mom and sisters today. They took Rayne shopping for a couple hours so I could relax.
Just walking around the house wasn’t fun. I was dizzy, nauseous, crampy and had a headache all day. So when they left, I reclined on the couch and resumed my Supernatural season one marathon on Netflix. I’ve been so exhausted feeling today. I’m glad I was able to have quite time to relax. Plus, when I’m sick, Rayne tends to be much sweeter to me than usual. For instance: a few months ago Rayne had a fever for a day, the next day I got it. While I was laying on the couch resting, she walked up to me and said, “Luh you Mommy”. I immediately jumped up and said “WHAT?!?! Did you just say you love me?!?!” Rayne isn’t much for showing affection. She gets that from both her parents. But even being her mom I hardly get kisses let alone an ‘I love you’. So this was very exciting. I haven’t heard it since then, though.
Today I told her I didn’t feel well, so she came over to me and put her hand on my forehead. Then kissed it to make me feel better. Of course later she headbutted me in the nose (anyone with kids knows how terrible this is), then punched me in the nose a couple hours later. My nose is still sore.
I ended up going for a walk to get some fresh air. It did help my headache, but my stomach is still a little woozy. I’m hoping I’ll be better by tomorrow so I can actually have the energy to get up and do something. Like laundry…God knows I’m like a 17 year old boy when it comes to laundry. Anyway, today was considered a sick day. I was totally lazy and gross. And to be honest, I needed it. Well, not the real sickness, but the lazy gross day I did.
