I can’t remember the last time I fell sick with fever. It must have been very, very long ago.
I’ve mentioned in this blog before that mothers seldom fall sick because of their resilience and mental strength. We have to stay strong & healthy so that we can take care of our kids. The worst thing that can happen is that we spread the virus to them.
The past week was spent in many happy celebrations because yesterday was my birthday. There were a few occasion we left the kids with our parents so that I could just eat in peace and enjoy myself. I think I relaxed too much and fell sick! =(
The worst part about falling sick is not the getting-better part, but having to take care of the kids still. Most of the time, my head and eyes felt like they were on flames and everything around me looked as if they were floating. Yet, I had to carry my baby, chase after her as she wondered around, read stories to my other kid and entertained them until someone finally was willing to go take a nap. It was torturous.
Thankfully, the husband was around and even though he was also feeling a little sick, he took care of the kids while I slept yesterday. The 90-minute nap did a lot of good, and I managed to recoup back some of my lost strength. As I’m typing this, the aches and fever are back and I’ve just popped a Panadol and pray hard that all will resume rosy tomorrow morning.
God, I need your grace! I want to stay healthy so that I can continue to be a happy & strong mama!
