Despite how clever I'm feeling about my use of the Akin quote, and how my uterus grew three sizes yesterday when America voted down much negativity and hatred, instead of feeling jubilant, I feel like complete and utter crap.
And I'm feeling very sorry for myself.
I have to head out and get my enthusiastic! exhausting! son, then keep him moving (no, we can't investigate every crack in the sidewalk; yes, we have more Cheez-Its at home; let's keep going) to get my daughter. Who I will carry, and then Jordan will want me to carry him too, and frankly, I'm pretty sure that in about two years, he'll be big enough to carry me.
And! I can tell you for a fact that one of those little snotgobblers is completely to blame for my state. They are constantly sticking their fingers or whole hands into my mouth or my nose or my food or my water. They give big, sloppy kisses. I love the shit out of them.
But they've brought home one illness and another - vomiting, snuffy noses, fever - your garden plague variety of things. So I've basically been slogging along for the past couple weeks, feeling like semi-hell, but well enough to put one foot in front of the other and continue forward.
And then today, my body voted NO on my proposal to get up and go to work. I have a fever, I have chills, and I slept until 1 pm. And still didn't want to get out of bed.
This was me yesterday, ready to head out and vote. C'mon India! Let's go look at democracy!
I would like for you to use the second picture to respond to anyone who says anything stupid. Because you don't look sick, you just look like you're, well... shutting the whole thing down.
ReplyDeleteIn a good way.
Hugs!
Hug you! Hug you so much!
DeleteOh dear. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGarden plague variety cracked me up.
And I second what Jessica said.
Thank you, Laura! Hug you, too!
DeleteDoesn't Nick have a Binder Full of Women? You can just get one of them to help you out because they are flexible and can get home in time to cook dinner for Nick and the kids.
ReplyDeleteI always forget about the special binder! I'm going to have to start making use of it!
Deleteomg! that 2nd photo is too funny, well, not funny ha ha, but funny omg my god you must feel like crap even though you look pretty good. you have this expression of blaaahhh.
ReplyDeleteVery, very blaaaaaah. But thank you for thinking I look pretty good despite it all.
DeleteAgree with the comments above, you look lovely even when not feeling your best. Hope you feel better soon - hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteOh, Heather, that's because you have on your rose colored glasses! Hugs to you!
DeleteI totally agree with the first comment! I would send that picture to anyone that says anything stupid!! Also, is that a really low armchair type thing you are sitting in? Because I think I have the exact same one, or so it appears from the few reddish orange inches showing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big Nick-sized leather chair. I'm just kind of squooshed up in it in the picture.
