Being Sick Stinks

Alright, well I am way behind on blogging. I got sick with a nasty cold/sinus infection that lasted three weeks. If I wasn't trying to take care of my family I was trying to rest. By the end of week two I really started to get stir crazy. I have had so many things I have wanted to do and our house felt so disgusting. My neighbor came over and there were old dishes in the sink, food droppings from the kids on the floor along with shoes toys, crayons, coats, you name it it seemed to find a new home on the floor. Oh even writing about this is making me feel uptight again. Anyways after she left I looked around at how gross our house was and thought I bet it is way stinky in here. Not to mention my sick dragon breath that happens to accompany a cold. Oh yes and my hair had not been washed in three days. Man, I can't believe I am admitting all of this. Well as if this story could not get any grosser, just hang on to your shorts. I had put Walter down for a nap, turned on cartoons for Eli and Hyrum, then climbed back into my bed. I was aware that Hyrum climbed into bed with me at some point, but I continued to sleep. After a hour had passed I slowly opened my eyes. Sweet little Hyrum was snuggled up to me. I layed there for a minuet wondering how much longer this sickness was going to have control over me. I was starting to feel like I do when I am pregnant. My poor kids get neglected because I am to sick and tired. then I noticed something brown all over Hyrums hands. Now lets keep in mind he has been in my bed with me crawling all over the place for a while before I decided to really wake up. "Hyrum" I ask, "What is on your hands?" his very to the point reply was, "POOP" Well that's just the icing on the cake. I just layed there. I was thinking how much being sick stinks, literally. I feel so bad for my kids and Matt and anyone who came to our house at that time and had to endure so many stinky smells. Thank heavens life is getting back to normal. I am slowly climbing the ladder again. Even though it is a slow going, I am so thankful for my health. I think about it every day. I am able to take care of my sweet children and my wonderful husband.
