Ok, so you know that wise old saying Thumper taught us…
“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all!”
Well, that’s me right now. Trying hard to heed Thumper’s advice.
Not directed at anyone else, though, just frustration with myself.
I have a horrible, head splitting, sinus infection and deep, painful cough. I get them at least once a year and this one has me completely bowled-over.
I can’t think straight. I can hardly see straight. Every noise from my kids is like an earth-shattering clamor.
I want to scream (but I have no voice), cry (but my eyes hurt too much), cough until I can breath again (but the baby cries every time I do!), and sleep ’til I’m better (but my kids won’t let me!)
And I don’t have anything nice to say at all.
I will admit it, I’m grumpy. Pain’ll do that to ya!
So, I am calling a forfeit on my 31 day challenge. Choosing to fail is choosing a tiny bit of sanity in an absolutely out-of-control life.
Maybe next year I’ll actually make it! :o)
If you’re a praying person, I would love your prayers for healing and sanity!
If you have any healing advice… I’ll take that too!
