Sick Days...

If you haven't already heard via my facebook page, I have strep throat and a double ear infection! I can't remember having strep since I was in grade school and I don't think I have ever had a (diagnosed) ear infection. So I guess I can't post my meal ideas for this week because it would consist of mush (soup, pudding, sprite, Popsicles, etc.). I can only imagine what I am going to want to eat when my throat feels better!

Here are the top 5 things I have learned from my sick days this week:

1. Mike takes good care of me and the kiddos. He took off on Monday and then has a snow day today (he had already called off for today too). I'm not sure if he is having fun doing laundry, dishes, and being a "house wife" but he is doing a good job. On top of that he had to go out and shovel the walk and dig his car out this morning. (And its still snowing!)

2. Canned soup is really gross. I gave up on condensed soup a long time ago and made the switch to Progresso but I am finding it so gross. It motivates me to make up batches of soup and freeze half. Luckily I had some alphabet soup frozen so, I ate some of that last night. I think I can make a mean minestrone, chicken noodle, vegetable, alphabet, and potato soup but if you have any other soup recipes they would be much appreciated. I made Mike go to Panera on Monday night to get me some broccoli cheddar...yum!

3. I don't know how people always lose weight when they are sick; I am eating nothing but crap and sleeping!

4. My new years resolution to find a doctor and get a physical needs to happen stat! Yes, I don't have a regular doctor. Yes, I went to the Urgent Care. No, I don't really have a good excuse. Some bad ones include: I've been seeing my OBGYN for the past 3 years because I've been preggo almost that whole time, I never really get sick, I don't know who to go to....

5. Sam likes chocolate pudding. I don't recall him having it until today....


And if I had to come up with a #6 it would be that having a lap top is great because you can put it in bed with you and write a blog!
