Ugh

What is more stereotypical of a Mormon housewife then her busy, busy schedule.  She is always baking, cooking, cleaning, working, exercising and so forth.  Is there any time left for sleeping and eating (well in my case, yes, but you get the picture)?  Well, what happens to a woman who keeps such a busy schedule?  You guessed it; she gets sick.  Monday, I got sick with a cold.  It wasn't that bad, except for when stereotypical Mormon housewives get a cold, guess what they keep on doing...the same things they would be doing if they were healthy!  That's right; there's no rest for the weary.  Add in a grueling new two week schedule for your husband and you are as good as dead.

 

So from Monday to Wednesday I was trying to keep up with my obligations and the things I had planned to do even though I was dead tired and miserable (don't you dare feel bad Stacie; I would've said no if I was that miserable).   I could tell I was too tired to be out and about when I forgot to close my eyes for a prayer at church (socially unacceptable unless you have children) and then, to my own dismay, I drove home in this same dazed and tired state.  Luckily all was well.  So after three busy days, I cleared my Thursday and left only the obligatory college class attendance.  Otherwise, I'm free as a bird!  So today, I can do anything I want, as long as it involves sitting or lying on my couch and relaxing.  Aaahhhh.  I feel better already.
