Dear God

If I could have a one on one with God today, the conversation would go something like this:

Hey God! Ummmm…remember last week when I was told my friend that I wanted the flu to jump start my diet? Well, here are my thoughts.
I was kidding.
If I wasn’t kidding, I would have appreciated the flu with vomiting and diarrhea, you know, the type that makes you drop 5 pounds in 2 days! THAT flu! What you gave me is something else altogether.

OK…seriously, you know I would only be so sarcastic with the George Burns “God”. But I have learned a few things this week.

1. Ask and you shall receive. Yep, I did ask for this!

2. You can create snot when there is none and successfully turn the flu into a cold. Just take Dayquil for your cough and voila! Snot will appear!

3. Sponge Bob is always on. Always.

4. At least 2 commercials at every break are for fast food. Perfect, I can’t even stomach the thought of soup and I continually get to watch greasy square Wendy’s burgers sizzling on my TV screen during People’s Court.

5. The best medicines, the ones they save for when you are begging like a two year old, those cost the most, which is fine unless you throw them up every time you take one because you can’t keep any food down to help avoid the nausea! It stinks to see an 8 dollar pill come back up in the toilet!

6. There are times that you are sick enough that you don’t care. You just don’t care. Ok, I’ll admit, I did not care about lying on the floor of the doctor’s office. I did not care that I was curled up in the fetal position the entire time the doctor was talking to me. I did not care that I was wearing sweats and a t-shirt literally covered in big fresh wet sweat spots (my husband did though so he made me change). I did not care that I hadn’t brushed my teeth, put on lipstick or even wiped my nose in about 5 hours. Sometimes, you really don’t care!

7. Somehow, the World will go on. I have about 15 projects going at any one time, somehow this week, it all managed to get taken care of (mostly thanks to my anal planning ahead which meant I had almost everything in order and ready to go before hand so no one actually had to “do” the work for me, just had to deliver it for me)

Thank you to everyone who called to check on me, took care of my kids, offered to help and covered for me while I was down and out. I am still pretty down. I think by Monday I will be back in the game. Until then, steer clear of the Michell’s, we stink!
