First let me start today by saying I LOVE all my fans and fellow bloggers out there! WE finally reached the goal to get Chickadee her therapy dog and you know what? This was ALLLLLL YOU! You can go read about it over here and bathe in the positive energy that is rightfully yours. You guys ROCK!
Okay, back to me…
Monday I started blogging about my birthday week and then well – disappeared! I’m sure some of you thought I was overdosing on the whole “blogging drug thing” and believe me I had every intention to…until; I woke up on Tuesday morning.
But first, Monday afternoon had me picking up two of three of my children and then by Monday night, all three of my children were sick. Monday night was one of the worst I have had in YEARS and by Tuesday morning; we were all lined up at the Doctor’s office.
Diagnosis: Ear, Nose, Throat and Lung infections.
Yep ALL of us. It has been a pretty miserable 48+ hours – especially when Doodlebug has been a leach on my side and I feel bad too. It is hard to be sick and get any rest when the kids are sick too – almost impossible!
Today? Well I still don’t feel that great and if the severe sinus pain would go away I could probably think properly, but as life has it – I am back at work anyway.
On a very positive note, my work as a financial controller allows me to sit at a desk all day, so aside from my brain and mind working overtime, my body is basically at rest. And rest is what I desperately need!
I haven’t been this sick in 20 years and I have a theory…hear me out.
Okay, you all know I have a maid right? I haven’t had her for very long and I absolutely LOVE her. She has made my house sparkle and shine (at least on one day of the week – the one she cleans on…) and I have no complaints – AT ALL!
So remember when I posted part of an article that read your house could be making you sick – you know – being too clean? Well my maid cleans stuff that I haven’t thought about cleaning – EVER! She deep cleans to the point that she even took my wine glasses off the rack and RE-CLEANED them! I don’t think they sparkled that bright new! Seriously people! LOVE. HER.
But, here is my theory. I think she has definitely changed the whole microbiology of my house and we (my family) are no longer exposed to the germs and bacterium that were keeping us well. Yup, that is my theory. I once thought we were immune to everything, but since “everything” no longer inhabits our home, our bodies are getting sick trying to adapt.
So, do I give up the maid?
Hell to the NO! Are you crazy!?
I say we can go roll in the dirt and get over it!
Until then…the party is NOT at my house!
Toodles!
