Sweeping Through Life

I recently read an article in O' Oprah Magazine about marriages and how illness can tear them apart. I guess found this article interesting since I have been taking care of my hubby for the last two weeks. When we take our marriage vows, do we really think about what the statement of " in sickness and in health" really means? In the article, it stated that most men will leave a marriage when an illness of the wife takes place, when women will stick it out for the long haul if their husband gets ill. The article continued to state that couples that go through an illness together, become stronger in their marriage and as individuals. With just the minor surgery that my husband had, things have been different over the past few weeks. Part of it is that I have been the main caregiver and taking care of most task around the house that we usually share. I could not image what it is like when a major illness takes place in a relationship when there is not only the stressor of...

Happy New Year to me...I have a cold. Great!! I was in total denial last week about me getting sick when my voice started to hoarse. It really hit me on Sunday and all I did was lay around the house and watch a lot of mindless TV (after I went to church). I did accomplish one thing on Sunday which was make some homemade chicken noodle soup. It was yummy. I was going to go to work yesterday, but when I called my boss to let her know that I was coming in late, she said "You sound awful. Why don't you call it a day?" I think it was the best so I do not give my co-workers my cooties. I stayed home and I slept and laid around the house. I feel a lot better and plan on going to work today. I keep telling my husband that I feel better and he keeps thinking that he is Dr. Oz, by telling me to take some vitamin C. I do not normally take vitamin C so why should I start now. I hope that this is the last illness for the season for me. Next thing for me to do is to give my home a go...
