Whats Worse than . .

being a kid who is sick on her birthday?  Being an adult who is sick on her Spring Break!

When I was a pre-teen (I remember it is the year I got my first Shawn Cassidy album) I was sick for a whole week with some cold-flu thingy.  I don't know what I was sick with just that I was sick on my birthday.  My birthday party was postponed and I cried all day on my birthday. In my way of thinking, it was just not right that one should be sick on her birthday!  My family teases me about my crying because I was sick on my birthday.  I have learned that life doesn't always turn out like we think it should. However I confess  that I still think that some things shouldn't have to be imposed upon by a cold, flu, or virus. Therefore I am just a bit annoyed that on the second day of Spring Break I got sick.  

I have spent the past two days sleeping. Actually the first day was pretty fun.  I liked the freedom to lay in bed without feeling any guilt. But today when I didn't feel better, I started to get irritated because I have "a list".  There is this massive list of all the things I am going to do during Spring Break and it is hard to do those things when your feet keep taking you back to your bed. When I was still feeling yucky this evening, the panic really set in.  I have tickets for Peter and I to take friends to an Atlanta Braves game tomorrow night.  I haven't cried yet about being sick on Spring Break but if I have to miss out on tomorrow, I probably will. Okay so what's the good news in all of this?  I haven't been out shopping and spending money. I finished the financial aid application for Peter's school that I had been putting off. And I haven't had to use my sick leave!
