So what do you do when you get sick? When your throat starts to get sore, when your body aches, when your head seems to, all of a sudden, be too small to hold in all the pressure that is pushing up against the sides, desperately trying to get out...
"Hello Boss, I can't come into work today..."
While the thought of laying on my couch in my snuggie with a hot cup of steaming, honey-infused, ginger tea, and a box of tissues nearby does sound appealing, Cj would be climbing on top of me trying to take my snuggie away while Tj would be too busy swiping the tissues out of the box before eating every single one.
Hmm...
Well, I am not really feeling sick enough that I would have called in, but whatever I am feeling is chasing away the appetite, the motivation and any energy that I would need to take on the workload that I have assigned to me for the day.
Colin and Travis.
All I can see is a picture of myself exhaustedly reaching towards them from my sad, fallen position on the kitchen floor while the boys dance and perform cartwheels {i realize travis can do neither if even colin could cartwheel} around me after taking about an hour to do everything they I have ever told them NOT to do.
How do you "call out of work" when work is with you. 24/7.
?
The other concern is how to "stay away" from them so they don't catch whatever it is that ails me. I can probably refrain from giving them millions of kisses, but I am still going to be holding them and feeding them and participating in all sorts of contact-full activities. I am not sure how to completely avoid them. Well, I guess they are going to just have to get immune real quick and show me that those vitamins are really doing the trick, or join misery.
Which reminds me I gotta go pick up Travie's vitamins.

Well, tomorrow is thursday, and thursday is cleaning day. I'm not sure how much cleaning is going to get done in this condition. Here's to hoping and praying this hot tea Jus made {thanks babe!} cures my ailing throat.
