I just knew it was gonna happen. Hubby got the flu and the Dr. said it could be a week to a month before he starts feeling better and sure enough, I caught his cooties. He's been sleeping in the guest room, but I guess the cooties don't care. Tonight my head, throat, and neck really hurts. I have a fever and can't fall asleep. I am also flaring and pms-ing. Hubby is being a big jerk and said I brought this on myself because I did not stay in bed all day like he ordered. No, I went grocery shopping, made dinner, washed loads and loads of laundry, ironed 15 of his shirts for work and a few of my things, cleaned the oven, changed all the beddings... Why? when I worked over the Christmas holidays, he complained the whole time that he "had to go to work AND do everything at home too" - so completely untrue. I think he realized just how much I do.
I searched for weeks for a job and just started working at a florist last week. Normally it will be 3 days/wk, except this week of course... They said be in early and plan to work long days all week. I love this job and don't want to lose it or let them down during their busiest time of the year. I need sleeeeeep.
It's just not fair. I eat healthy, I exercise, I even got my flu shot. It's not fair I tell you. If my mommy or daddy were here, they would take care of me instead of blaming me
I'm sorry you are feeling so bad and of course you want a little comfort from hubby - not 'I told you so'. I can't turn you back into a child again but I can offer you a hug . It's not the same as from Mum or Dad but hope it helps some! Feel better soon!Sorry you're feeling bad Deb. Hope you feel better soon.I am sorry you are feeling so bad. The flu has been running rampant through the schools here. Flu shot is helping as much since they have diagnosed two different strains-one not in the current shot. Take care of yourself-a number of our students/teachers have developed pneumonia from this strain.
Owiemom I am sorry you are feeling so bad. :( Hugs going your way. Take care of yourself.Sorry you're feeling rough right now...hoping you'll be ok for work this week.Just like a man...bring home cooties and then blame you!
Hugs and hugs,
Pip
Husbands! ARRRGGG! He probably would have had something to say if the chores hadn't been done too.
I get like you too when I hit rock bottom- My mom is such a worrier I can't lean on herbecause I'm afraid to upset her and my dad passed 6 years ago. When i needed care that my husband just couldn't give me I said to him "I wish my dad were alive and could come take care of me". I knew he would know just what to do & say....
Anyway- take care of yourself, try and rest and hope you are up and about soon!
I'm still alive and kickin' I haven't felt like eating the last couple of days, so I am making sure to drink lots of fluids. Yesterday I got home from work at 3:30, went straight to bed and slept til 7 this morning. Today, I had about 25 deliveries; tomorrow there are over 50 scheduled, but I will have another driver to help. We have over 150 deliveries scheduled for Thursday so far, yikes! Hubby keeps mentioning going out when I am done. He is not hearing me when I tell him I AM SICK. I just want to sleep.
Pip, your comment made me laugh - so true!
Happy Valentine's day to all!!!
