sick day! (8/30)

i woke up last night around 1:30. and didn't go back to sleep until about 6:00 when zane was leaving for work. i've been mildly sick since last tuesday, but it really kicked into high gear this weekend. i was a mess this morning, so when i dropped avery at school, i dropped nola at my parent's house and came home alone. the quiet of the house was a little depressing, but i didn't hesitate to crawl into bed. i napped for about 20 minutes, then woke up confused about the time and was listening for kids. i spent the next hour and a half laying in bed, thinking of the million things i need to do in the next couple months. it was a little stressful, but heavenly. i can't remember the last time i was able to lay in bed without keeping an ear open for the girls. (not true, last april when we went to new orleans. but that wasn't our house/bed, so it doesn't count.)
it was exactly what i needed to turn the corner. i still don't have much of a voice, but i feel better than i have in almost a week. i even got some work done on my final project. THANK YOU grammy and gramps for the help! with the right timing and the right help, moms can have a sick day once in a while ;)
