~HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!~

I have been so sick with the stomach flu from hell this week & it has kept me down now for 2 whole days! I don't remember having one this bad in a long time. Although my stomach upset is gone, the aches & pain & weakness are still with me! I get up to do a few things & go right back to the couch to watch a lifetime movie or sleep a bit! I hate being sick & not able to be productive! My children are grown & on their own for the most part but I still PANIC when I get sick because I'm the one who takes care of everyone! Every mother & wife out there feels the same panic as I do when they aren't able to do things for their family. My 22 & 29 year old daughters & soon to be 26 year old son, grandchildren~oh yes & hubby also, have told
me in the last few days that they hate it when I get sick & are so used to seeing me busy as a bee either with my garden work, watching the grandkids, doing a a dozen projects around the house at once, cooking, shopping etc. etc.... that they too PANIC when they see me stuck on the couch so sick! My mom calls at least every few hours to get an update & always has her take on why I got this bug. "You do to much around the house" "You spread yourself to thin" "You've lost to much weight"(I love that one!) I keep reminding her that it's JUST a virus & I didn't bring it on myself! LOL!
I don't think we really realize how much we do as wives, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, etc. etc. day to day. My wish for everyone this coming mothers day is to RELAX & ENJOY your special day & be THANKFUL for being able to do all we do for our families & friends! ~HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!~
