My kids make my day. Yesterday I was sick -no matter what I did or ate, I was sick.
“Mom, you an get me a popsicle,” my son would say.
“Not right now,” I said while I sprawled out on the couch, “Mom is sick.”
“ughhhh,” he’d moan, “BUMMER!”
“Bummer” is the kids’ latest favorite word. They picked it up from 80’s Robot on The Muppets Movie.
It wasn’t like they had the worst day, you know. In fact, they actually had a pretty good day, dancing and singing in the rain.
That’s true Arizona rain. And she had to snag her brother’s Spiderman umbrella because she consistently breaks every one we buy for her.
When I asked her what her favorite part of the day was last night, my daughter just sighed and said… “netflix.”
“Netflix?” I asked. “What about when you played in the water with the umbrella?”
“Oh yeah. That was fun. Today was just SO boring, Mom.”
Yeah, life is pretty boring when Mom is glued to the couch, watching what the kids like to call “Mom movies” (read: old movies).
They were thrilled to the core when Dad finally got home. They bounded out the door, “Dad! Dad! You’re home!”
Finally, someone they can work with! And when I say “work” I mean it very literally.
I took these while sitting on the grass. Watching other people work is fun.
And sometimes cute.
Especially if the worker happens to be three, a boy, and saying, “Here’s your worker boy!”
Hm, time for new shirts I guess…
Anyway, it’s officially time to start hiring cleaning help. I feel so bad for whoever comes into this mess! Yesterday I went through waves of feeling good and waves of nausea. It was, in general, three hours sick, two hours well. I had to spend each “two hours well” cleaning my house! And guess what is super dirty right now?
You guessed it!
My house!
It’s just not worth it. I’d love nothing more than to spend my well hours doing something worthwhile, like cooking or sewing.
But three hours of nausea at a time does have some great perks… I’m going through my Netflix queue faster than a cheetah, and I’m loving that. I absolutely love movies. AND it gives me time to crochet. I don’t usually take much time to crochet.
If I did, I’d be as good as Darah.
