Sickness and Stress

Why does it always seem that sickness and major stress go together?  Why am I not ever sick when I have nothing to do?  Thursday night I started getting sick with the stomach bug.  Friday morning I was praying for death.  My daughter was rude to me and screamed at me and wouldn't even bring me a glass of water.  It is a good thing she didn't catch this bug!!  I hate being sick and being the only one in charge.  That is probably one of the hardest things about being a single parent.  What do you do when you are sick?  Well, while I was sick Friday, Ciara fed herself.  She ate toast and bananas.  She survived.  Then Saturday, I bought some applesauce and pudding and popsicles for me to eat.  She ate them all and gave them out to the neighbor kids.  (Not to mention that she put the trash from them all over the house.)  Really, people, this parenting thing is getting so old.  How many times do you have to tell them???  I just don't know if I have it in me.  Especially on days I feel sick.

Well, I am feeling better today and have tons of paperwork (which really means computer work) to get done before tomorrow.  We are at the end of a six weeks, plus my most major stressful test is Wednesday.  Pray for my kids.  They have worked hard and are as ready as I am to get this out of the way.

Have a great week!!
