I Am Sick
Yes, it's true. I am sick. This is not good for a mother of four who still has shopping and baking to do.
On the upside, I have stopped throwing up. (Don't worry. As this is not a medical blog, I won't be offering further details!)
On another upside, my stomach is exceedingly flat.
On yet another upside, I can now keep down tylenol which helps keep the aches and shivers at bay.
This Christmas will be known in our family as The Christmas Mom Learned To Delegate.
I'm off for a cup of tea and some dry toast. I'm making detailed lists for various family members to pick up my slack. And then I'm crawling back into bed.
Seasons Greetings to you and yours!!
(And if I do manage to drag myself out and you see me in the stores, don't hug me. )

ReplyDelete...um, barrie.
ReplyDeleteOh no! As a fellow mommy of 4, I know all too well that this is not a good time to be sick. Please take care of youself! I hope you have a merry Christmas, despite all the yuckiness!
ReplyDeletewait, your stomach is flat? Get your ass over here and give me a kiss.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your not feeling better. Drink some spiked eggnog and that should perk you up. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
ReplyDeleteBarrie, a nice batch of mulled wine with lemon, oranges, cloves, cinnamon stick all warmed up would make you feel a whole lot better and then you'd be able to sleep, which is a necessity when anyone has a nasty bug. The symptoms sound like the flu bug that went around Toronto in early November.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, and do have a Merry Christmas...make certain you try eat something to keep up your strength to combat this bug.
Hand written delegation lists -- Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI will try that next time.
Stay in bed and Merry Christmas.
If you happen to be in bed with your laptop, go to my blog for a moment of cheers.
Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletePlease feel better soon and Ihope you have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
ReplyDeleteBoooo ... I hope you're feeling better! Merry Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteBarrie - I am sorry to hear you're sick. I hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, Barrie!
ReplyDeleteAw, poor thing! I have a cold too, but I'm feeling better (thank God) and hope you do, too! Take a warm bath, drink some hot cider, and get well for the new year!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear you are sick. Hopefully by now you are feeling better at least enough to enjoy the fun. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas

ReplyDeleteGet well soon, I have had the mother of all coughs this Christmas and I ache from coughing, Christmas still happened!!!

Hope you survived the day.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing there was no turkey on your plate...
I have to admit that I was a little jealous of your stomach flu. My usually flat stomach has 2 new rolls.
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
Trust Santa - (and delegate)
ReplyDeleteYou know that Leonard Cohen line - there's a crack in everything ... that's how the light gets in ? Well think of your illness as a crack in your mom management system.
Your kids will shine. (But get well soon!)
All the best
Hope you feel better soon...sending lots of healthy vibes your way!
