Sickness

It's the fall, and you know what that means! It means it's that time of year when everyone ends up sick. Thankfully I've been dealing with a cold that isn't all that bad, so I haven't had to slow down or miss too much. I am not looking forward to this flu season for one simple reason--I'm spending 8+ hours a week around children under the age of 6. If you have children, or know anything about children, you'll know that they carry sickness with them wherever they go. Naturally that makes me more immune to getting a bit sick and catching whatever the children I am working with have or get. I'm literally forcing liquids down my throat in an attempt to keep me from getting too sick. After all the more water I'm drinking the more of a chance of flushing out any bugs I might catch. I've literally downed about 1500 ml today alone. No wounder I feel like I've spent so much time in the bathroom. Did I mention that whenever I wipe a runny nose in my church's nursery I use either soap and water or hand sanitizer directly after throwing out the Kleenex? I'd highly recommend using hand sanitizer. One thing that amazes me is the fact that I haven't ever had a sinus infection, and my parents are actually prone to sinus infections over colds. So how am I so lucky to only ever catch colds and never a sinus infection??? I can't answer that because I really don't know.

It's that time...

It's SPRING BREAK! And this doesnt mean Im taking a trip somewhere. For me it just means a week at home during which I will get to hang out with a few friends, sleep in, stay up late, and of course relax.

I've been sick the past three days (today is day four). Im glad I was able to wait to get sick until now. Hopefully I can shake this off in the next day or two so I can enjoy my break.

I think I have the lyrics I wrote about in a previous blog done, but right now they are sitting out side in my car, which happens to be sitting out in the rain (exactly where I dont want to go since I am feeling so auful right now). Hopefully I feel more up to moving out of my room (and pajamas) tomarrow to go get them from the car.

All I have done today is watch episodes on ABC.com, which feels SO good today. Its above 40 degrees f today, which is unusually warm, and rainy out. We are supposed to get snow later today and into the night.

Im gonna get some more sleep now so I get better. Its so unusual that I take a nap that my family knows that if Im taking a nap, I am definatly SICK!
