Home sick today from work. Definitely hate being at home sick on an actual work day. I'd much rather if I am going to be catching colds,flu's and sickness' etc I'd rather be getting them on my days off so I won't be losing any hours. Not that I wish it upon myself to catch anything at all, but we all know, that every now and then, that no matter how healthy we eat, we always catch something at least once or twice through out the year.
What really does suck about being sick today is the fact that all the usual things one usually has in their home for general sicknesses; I don't even have at all. No not one thing. Not even peptol bismal, soda crackers, chicken soup or gingerale. So I am really toughing this one out the cold turkey way. With no help. Well..... I did take some vitamin C's to help me a bit, but we all know that it takes more than a few vitamin c's to help cure sickness.
So, what I find at least helps take my attention away from the gut wrenching feeling of wanting to puke every few minutes is keeping busy. So I am just doing house work and tending to my wee one.
I find that allowing yourself to laze around on the couch all day letting myself get more weak then it already is will not help aid me in getting better quicker. Unless a sickness comes upon that just takes away my strength completely. Which happened to me last year. I was helpless, I couldn't even stand with out Jonathan helping me. He had to help me eat, a spoon felt too heavy for me. And bathing and sitting on the thrown required his help as well.
I am thankful that the sickness that I have now is not as bad as last year. At least I can be a bit productive. Although, I find my body is reacting to scents today and setting my body off, so certain foods and what not I need to stay away from.
Well I best be on my way and get some more things done. I am going to go boost Aaliyah and Jonathan immune system and give them some vitamin c's and some other things to at least try and prevent the sickness from spreading onto them.

Clean Home
A clean home has been something I have been wanting for a while. It is always on my mind, when I am at work thinking about those breakfast dishes in the sink untouched and knowing that due to Jonathan's weird schedule of working from 10pm to 7am that he is likely to sleep through the day and wake up just when it's time to pick me up from work, it just bugs me. Although, I am the women in the household, the one who is to keep these things in check regardless of whether I work or not.
It is kind of funny that trying to maintain my home while also having a work life as well has been on my mind and one of my main focus'. And blog posts from everywhere's keep popping up. My third cousin Cory's wife Emily, she has a blog and recently posted about keeping the home clean and also as us being Christian's having a clean home not only reflects as good christian's, but it shows a form of respect to having it clean before company comes over and also that it is an obedience to God. I also came across other blogs, because of Emily I believe something called Fly Lady (not too sure). And it just hit me.
Just DO the house work, with out complaint. Whether there is a helping/lending hand in the matter or not. It is funny that in my own fight against it and not wanting to do it, that I have a blog I keep up to date on that always seems to be meant for me to read.
This is not the first time that Emily's blog posts has inspired me in someway. There were times of me wanting to eat healthier, already eat healthy, but mainly making things from soups, dips, pasta & pizza sauce and bread from scratch. I did not know where to begin, because it is obviously I big preparation to start changing how you are use to doing everything. But thanks to Emily it's like her blogs are unintentionally n'sync with mine, more so to motivate me.
I am grateful to read her posts, whenever she does post. She has been off for a whole year and recently updated, because she is a busy Mom of three. And I feel she puts me to shame that she does all of this already and it appears that it comes to her so easily and I complain and I only have one child. God bless her!
So if you're reading this Emily, thank you for your posts, even though I may not comment on all of them I do read them and you always end up having some great ideas on there and I take what you do and try to make it fit for my little household. And congrats on your third addition to the family.
Here is her blog post which has some good reason's as to why to clean the home and just be happy to do it anyways >>CLICK HERE<<
