Moms can't get sick
Today was hell. I have had a fever with the sweats, shivers, and dizziness for the last two days. My homework has been late, my children's hair has not been brushed, and there has been a pile of clean, unfolded laundry in that chair for 2 days.On top of that I had to go to my server job, because when your a server, unless you can get someone to cover your shift you work. I was doing my best to not spread germs, but there's only so much germ patrol one can do. Luckily I was able to switch with the bartender, and bartend , but still anyone who needed a beverage went through me.And it is a holiday weekend, so we were slammed. Sorry. People like me don't get sick days or health care.Actually I used to have health insurance, but they tripled my premium when I got pregnant with my son, and refused to cover my diabetic supplies. Anyway, it's hard to pretend to be happy and healthy when your not feeling that way. I am one of the lucky ones, because I just have a flu, not a life threatening disease. Still sweaty and freezing all at the same time. Oh, and I got a C on that late assignment, at least I can redo it when I'm back to myself.

It is hard to take time to get well when we are sick. I had the flu two weeks ago. I went to work and forced myself to stay until lunch hour then went home, went to bed and slept 12 hours. Thankfully, that is all my body required, 12 hours of complete rest. Hope you are better today.
