Sick
I feel like an economy sized can of smashed assholes.
Who comes down with a cold in the middle of the summer?!
The sneezing, the stuffy nose, the snotty throat..it's all too much to bear. I am coughing up balls of snotty crap the color of original gatorade- a good indicator that I have a full-blown sinus infection. It is no doubt the result of my allergies to the many, many, many, green things that grow here- it has gotten worse since the big rains of last week have stopped and the sun came out. Now everything is germinating and trying to kill me with a slow death of drowning in phlegm.
Of course, when the mom gets sick- the world does not stop... it just turns upside down. I can't possibly just not be mom. I can't call in, and take a day off. The children must be fed, the house must be picked up, the clothes must be washed, the dishwasher loaded. If it is not, it won't go anywhere- it will just be ten times worse when I am feeling myself again to do it. There are times I am convinced this job of "domestic engineer" sucks. The pay is awful, and the vacation package is atrocious.
I need a nanny...someone to make me soup and tuck me into bed, and keep the house running and quiet without me. The cure now becomes painfully obvious, and terribly unattainable. I need to hit Megabucks.
Shit.
