What I Learned From My Sick Day

So I woke up this morning still sick.  Darn, I was hoping it would have passed by now!!  My throat still hurt, I was still achy, and congested.  The self pity was starting to overcome me.  I need to call a "temp" and call in sick today.  I just want to hide in bed.  Oh wait, I can't do that I am a MOM!!  No sick days and no "temps" for you girl :-(  Life goes on and I can sit here feeling sorry for myself or change my attitude.

So here is my sort list of what I am thankful for while sick. 
1.  Extra Strength Tylenol
2.  Air conditioner ~ This is very comforting when it was 90 degrees today and I had a fever.
3.  A baby that likes to sleep ~  Ellie took a 3 1/2 hour nap this morning and then two more naps later on!
4.  Compassionate children.  Miles prayed for me.  He also said that he will still love me even when I am sick.  What?!  :-o
5.  Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.  So far no one else is sick.
6.  An entertaining dog.  I watched Hula play tether ball.
7.  A  helpful and understanding husband.
8.  An early Mother's Day present.  Almost everything I want to do on the computer I can do on this cool phone.  I don't even have to get off the sofa :-)
9.  White Lime Frozen Yogurt.  It feels good on a sore throat.
