13 Things I SHOULD Be Doing Instead of This

1. Transferring the laundry into the dryer
2. Washing the dishes in the sink
3. Turning on the dishwasher (yes, we have that many dishes that the dishwasher is full AND the sink is filled with dishes)
4. Clearing off the dining room table so the kids can do their homework
5. Finishing yet another in the never-ending pile of papers I must write to reactivate my teaching certification
6. Sorting through the mountain of papers that seem to multiply overnight
7. Fixing the cover on the loveseat
8. Vacuuming the living room
9. Cleaning the bathroom
10. Making my bed
11. Sorting the laundry to put another load in
12. Going through the kids' clothes to pull out the heavy winter stuff and the stuff that is too small (both of which the boys keep trying to wear)
13. Cleaning up from my Jackson Pollock-inspired driveway painting I did with the two boys I teach three afternoons a week

Hmmm...maybe I should turn off the computer?

Thirteen Things I Hate About Being Sick:

1. I don't feel good!
2. I'm hungry, but don't know what to eat that will not send me running back to the bathroom.  I mean, I know the B.R.A.T. diet and I'm sticking to it, but I'm hungry!
3. My head hurts.
4. I still have to be the mom.
5. Our tv is downstairs.  Our one bathroom is upstairs.  You do the math.
6. Did I mention my head hurts?
7. I had to miss teaching today.
8. I can't decide yet what to do about tomorrow - Should I get a sub and stay home again?  Should I suck it up (so to speak) and just get back in the classroom?
9. Back to still having to be the mom, the children will be running through the front door in ninety minutes, at which time I will have to work with them to go through their after school routines, including doing all their homework.  And my head really hurts!
10. DH won't be home until 5:30 tonight.  Does that mean I have to make dinner for those children of mine, even though I just started keeping down toast?!
11. The Princess was coughing last night, a lot.  DH finally had to take her into the bathroom to run the hot water and fill the room with steam to help her breathe easier.  Did I mention we only have ONE bathroom. 
12. DH tends to panic when any of us gets sick, so in addition to just feeling crappy, I also had to continually reassure him that I did NOT need to go the doctor OR the ER, that I know what to do for a stomach bug.
13. Blech!
