I have spent the past 5 days sick as a dog in bed!! NOT exactly the most romantic way to greet my hubby (home for his first visit since our wedding)!! Fortunately, he has taken the BEST care of me, serving soup in bed, grocery shopping for crackers and applesauce, and pouring endless glasses of ginger ale and gatorade. HOW did I get such a sweet boy?!However, I probably DO have to take just a teeny bit of credit for getting myself sick. I consider myself a "chronic committer." Unlike those who can't commit to a college major, or even a short-term relationship, I am blessed with the ability to commit to ANYTHING!! Working multiple jobs at a time while going to school? Check. Volunteer for anything and everything? Check. Extra workouts? Check. My backside and my couch haven't met in months? Check!! :)
Wake up call? Necessary.
OK, I get the picture. Just because I sleep well at night doesn't make it OK to run myself ragged 24/7 for months (years?!) at a time. Sometimes saying 'no' is the right answer. Occasionally skipping class to watch a "Law and Order: SVU" marathon is therapeutic. And maybe once in awhile, re-introducing my best side to the couch can feel.... pretty darn good.
...... of course....... ask me next week and I'll be the first to commit to whatever you need!! Sanity is bound to be "just a phase." (Kidding, kidding!!!) :)
