So when Mummy is sick, the whole household stops. Well... it partially shuts down apart from the basic necessities like dinner on the table, bath time and changing nappies but other than that, it all halts.
I was down with a mild ear infection 2 weeks ago and I have to say, I now understand what an ear ache, tooth ache and a very very bad sinus migraine all rolled into one feels. I couldn't even get out of bed the first day becuase as soon as I stood up, the whole room was spinning. It took me a lot of breathing in and out and a few dizzy spells to get my little girl up and ready to go that morning. After she left, I literally crawled back into bed and was drifting in and out of sleep the whole day. The only thing I got up for was water and to go pee. I couldn't do anything. Yikes.
The house was a mess and it's a good thing that M knew how to prepare dinner. He prepared dinner for the family and got the Lil' Tiger ready for her bath and then bed. Me? I was tucked in bed with a hot cuppa tea and wishing that they ripped that side of my head off because of the throbbing pain.
After the 3rd day, I felt a little bit normal and went to my living room and to my shock and horror, everything was everywhere! Toys were under the chairs and ants, ANTS were everywhere. Feeling a little bit restless, being horizontal for 2 days can do that to you, I took out the vacuum and just started vacuuming. I felt a surge of energy. I am not saying that M did not do his best to keep the house neat and tidy, it's just that it is not to my liking. :D HAH! But man I felt so much better after that.
Does your household stop when you are sick or does your partner takes over?
