I just want some TLC

in January 2012 Moms

I have been sick on and off for the last month.  I started back at work 6 weeks ago and quickly got a double ear infection (the most painful thing ever), sinus infection and general cough and wheezing.  I finally got over that about 8 days ago and then last night my throat starts hurting, I ache, and I have a temp.  I went in this morning and of course I have strep throat.  Awesome.  Dh was out of town and got home today and his response was 'you're sick again?'.  Then he just acted like he was mad I was sick and upset that I can't stay healthy.  Then he went and took a nap because he doesn't feel well.  Except now he's out biking with a buddy.  Seriously?  I told him before he left that I need a little TLC when he gets home which he agreed to do, I am really bummed out that he doesn't get that I feel like crap.

He did ask me if getting a housekeeper would help me be more rested or what I need so that I can stay healthy, but I really have no idea.  I am not choosing to be sick!  So in the spirit of my night, what do you do to stay healthy?

Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!

    I just wanted to send a hug!  So sorry you're going through being sick.  I really believe that our bodies are still going through so much, and being a working mom is hard and takes a tremendous amount of energy.  Not sure a housekeeper would help, but I'd try it.  I'd also suggest a pedicure and shopping to help you stay "healthy"!!!  Seriously, wait until you feel a little better and try to sit down to have a real talk with him, sometimes they are just clueless.  Also, given that flu season is approaching, and you're LO will be passing germs to you, I'd take a multivitaimin if you don't already.  Hang in there and hope you feel better!!!

    Lol, this made me laugh...I work with 6th graders.  They are ALL sick.  LO is the least of my worries as far as giving me germs.  I might feel lucky if she was my only concern in that department.  But yes, I take a multivitamin and have stocked up on OJ and fresh fruit.

    DH was completely serious about the housekeeper after we talked this morning so I am moving forward on that.  We'll see if it helps.  I might also ask him to take DD to ECFE class this week so I can either crash or catch up on grading.  

    Thanks for the hugs, I appreciate it.  :)

    I'd totally get on board with the housekeeper idea. 

    As for how do I stay healthy? I try to remember to take my multivitamin (which is laughable, because I haven't taken one in like 3 months), get my flu shot (still haven't gotten it this year), and wash my hands.  

    In general, I'm not really sick that often, except from allergies, which I treat as needed.  DH tends to be the one who gets sick more often, so I'm forcing his flu shot this year (already got him his tetanus/pertussis).
