I want my mommy....

My mother always used to say, Mother's can't get sick.  As a kid I would wonder what she meant by that.  I obviously saw her sick, what did she mean? Well here I am, with a cold that is one of the worst I have had in recent memory, I am dragging soooo badly this morning and I want my mommy.  (Why am I thinking of this scene?? ) Who will sing Soft Kitty to me??

I have a list of to do that if I don't do, don't get done (excuse the grammar there lol)  I have to get stuff for lunches, and grocery shop in general.  I have deposits to do and I know my accountant is coming this week so there is work I need to get started on for that.  Then there's everything going on this week with Back to School.  Back to School nights, orientations etc.

But wait, I don't feel good, I don't want to do anything, I want someone to sing Soft Kitty to me dammit!

All I want to do is be in my nice warm bed and rest.  I know I won't be able to with all of the stuff I need to do swirling around inside my head.

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ME A POT OF CHICKEN SOUP???  It's what I am jonesing for, but who makes it for the mom when she is sick??  I guess I can make it for myself and lay down on the couch while it's cooking.

TEA!!  I need mug after mug of steaming decaf tea.  It soothes my scratchy throat.  I suppose I can make it when I am getting up to check on my soup.

TISSUES!!  I need those good ones with the Vicks in them.  My box is almost out, my husband is away on business and I am the only driver in the house.  I guess I will get them when my soup is simmering away and in between cups of tea.

HALLS!!!  Honey lemon or spearmint.  I will get them when I am getting my tissues, the soup is cooking and in between cups of tea.  Since I am going out, I might as well get the groceries I need to make it through the first part of the week so there is one less thing and I can come home and rest some.  While I am on the couch resting maybe I will bring my laptop over and get to work on the bookkeeping stuff for my accountant this week.

Then there's that birthday dinner I haven't made for my daughter yet.  She wants ribs, crab and shrimp.  I couldn't do them on the grill last night with the rain, and I was sooo feeling poorly I was thankful it rained and I didn't have to stand over the grill.  She was at a soccer clinic on her birthday proper so we went out to dinner afterward and got her calamari, which was another thing she wanted. I will get that stuff to make for dinner tonight finally while I am out getting stuff for the week and my Halls and my Vicks Tissues.

As I am cooking I will keep drinking the tea I make for me, sucking the Halls I got for me, use the tissues I got for me, have the soup I made for me and sing Soft Kitty in my head all the while.

*SIGH* I finally understand what my mother meant.
