Home sick

I mean that quite literally. Im not homesick...I'm just home...sick....
I think I have run myself into the ground by not taking my own advice and saying the word "no"
"no, I can't" "No...I have another committment", "No...I just don't want to"
Now, don't get me wrong. I love helping out. I love sharing and giving. But I have to understand when I have reached my limit! I did that last week. I had a choir concert that I was directing at school and on top of the 3 perfomances in one day, we had rehearsals every morning from 8 until 8:45, which meant, earlier mornings, earlier drop offs for the kids I car pool. Making sure everything was in place, microphones, sound systems, scripts, music memorized, kids happy, 65 choir kids being nice....you get the picture!! And then I was asked to do a few other things..very worth while things...but I forgot to say "no" and said yes (with enthusiasm, I might add) And now..here I sit...with days of feeling really under the weather under my belt.... I think it is a combination of some flu like viral thing and a grumpy gallbladder. I have been having some pressure under my right ribs and my back has been aching pretty bad. So...after feeling guilty all morning...and after getting up and showering and getting ready to go to work, I couldnt find the car keys...a phone call to Kris confirmed he had them...The perfect excuse to stay home...(Because I have this thing about..unless I am throwing up, or fevering...I have to go to work) So not having car keys, was the ticket! So, here I sit..In my warm jammies and a hoodie, typing on my blog...just to let you know that I did it...
I STAYED HOME!!!!!!!!!! It really is a small miracle..( Now,..if I can just figure out how to finish all my shopping and get everything made that I am making....I will be all set) hahahahaha!
Hugs to all
Go put on your jammies and put your feet up, remember to say "no" every now and again!
Hugs

"Yeah!" for the break, "Boo!" for the sick. The warm hoddie and pajamas sound wonderful! I hope you are feeling better (not busier) soon!

I am glad you are cozy and in your jammies and that you finally said "NO" but I am sorry you are sick. Stay cozy and get better ... if I were there would cook you soup :(
