I knew when I went to bed last night that I was in trouble. I had pushed my body way too hard the last few weeks leading up to my son\u2019s wedding and especially this past weekend, getting almost no sleep at all. After seeing off the last of our extended family that had come to stay with us for the wedding yesterday and finally climbing into bed I could feel that my body was about to yell \u201cpayback!\u201d for all the stress I had put on it.\u00a0 And yell it did!<\/p>\n

I woke up so sick it wasn\u2019t even funny and I instantly knew<\/p>\n

\"37b0c93afd959d24fb85336b8314951f\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So today I have been holed up in my bed with a bottle of Nyquil and a box of tissues\u2026no fun at all!\u00a0 And I swear I make the world\u2019s worst patient. I feel like a caged animal when I am sick in bed and all I can do is think of everything I should be getting done but can\u2019t. Being sick is something I just don\u2019t have time for dang it!<\/p>\n

I was feeling a little sorry for myself until someone sent me this quote:<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing sick is just your body\u2019s way of saying you\u2019re way too awesome and you need to slow down so everyone else can catch up.\u201d<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

I love people who find a way to make us laugh when we are feeling down. That and today I love my bottle of Nyquil. So I am going to take a little more of it right now and try to get back to sleep\u2026which means I need to stop typing this blog and put the laptop away\u2026because I have a feeling that blogging and Nyquil just won\u2019t mix…<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping for good health tomorrow!<\/p>\n
