Confession

I've been wearing my PJ's for days straight.
I haven't worn makeup or done my hair for days.
I have done hardly anything but lay in bed all the time.
NO cooking NO cleaning NO housewife or motherly work.
I have more zits than my 16 year old guitar teacher Trevor.
I have still managed to gain weight and look very flabby. How does that work?!
I make Tatiana on American Idol Season 8 look hot.
I feel super sick.
I am basically useless to all around me.
I used to pray to be humble.
I think God answered my prayer. :) I've never felt more humbled in my life.

However,
I truly am happy and feel more blessed than ever.
Steve is so sweet and patient with me.
He expects nothing of me and treats me like a queen.
I am counting my lucky stars.

Yeah, there's nothing else to blog about.

Sounds miserable, but am so glad that you're happy. At least you know there is an end in sight. Good luck!

I love your honesty. If it makes you feel better, I showed up to my kids Valentine breakfast this morning wearing the cloths I wore the day before, that I slept in. The worst part is, I ran into many people that I know. Even worse than that, I saw one of them yesterday...she knows I haven't showered or bothered to change. You at least have a good excuse. I am just plain lazy.

Ditto Sista, I have even less excuse than you. You rock!

I'm sorry your not feeling that great. I do love your honesty though. When I was in the later stages of my pregnancy with Preston I felt the same way. I ended up taking up movie watching and watched several movies each day with Evelyn cuddled up beside me. I was a total hermit for weeks but it did keep me occupied. And don't worry it will be over before you know it and you'll wonder why you ever felt this way.
Oh yeah, and I've totally been in the same PJs since Sunday and have never bothered with makeup before so that's no big thang. Don't worry about it. At least you have a good excuse.

I just love you!I hope you do get feeling better.Your story kinda sounds lke mine..haha.I couldn't tell you the last time I did my hair.And the only reason I am doing OK, is thanks to my doctor who gave me anti-nausiated pills.but I don't know the last time my house was spotless and with dinner on the table!

Sorry your so ill but glad you gotta a good guy to help you through it. Hope the time will pass quickly for you.

If it makes you feel better, half that stuff describes me most of the time. Hang in there! At least you entertained us all with your blogging skills today.

I've decided all of those things you aren't doing are totally overrated. Are you having the barfy's too? Yikers. Hope you feel better soon.

You are lucky to have Steve, but it seems like he is a pretty lucky guy as well to have a woman like you by his side.
And since we are swinging from the honesty tree here...I didn't get dressed until about 2:30 today and that was only cuz I had dinner plans. My hair does itself (re.. I stopped fighting and just let it curl cuz I am lazy), and I had amazingly clear skin all my life, then 30 came around and now I swear I could be the before on a Pro-Activ commercial.

Robyn said...

Your confession sounds like the story of my life! I was ill over the weekend. I didn't get dressed for 4 days. I didn't do anything around the house and I know I looked horrible. But through it all, my family still loved me.

And you are loved too, no matter what you do or don't do.

PS - Love the pic of the bambino!

I too love your honesty! I find it refreshing - What you have just described is me from Friday night until Sunday morning. Unless I have somewhere to go, I stay in my jammies, lay on the couch, and just try to relax and prepare myself for the tiring week ahead. You're doing awesome Amanda! Keep up your long-term perspective!

And Memz, of course I'm still puking :)
