I had a situation recently that we all go through. I had an awful migraine. I was nauseated, felt like my head would burst, and nothing helped. My husband HAD to go to work to give his presentation that day. I couldn't ask him to help me because this was very important. I was out of town so I hadn't made any friends around. And I had three small children to take care of!
I ended up giving them all donuts until they popped (something we don't do because my husband STRONGLY disapproves of donuts). And we all lied on the bed and watched TV for hours (actually they watched and I lay in pain). We did this until naptime - thank goodness for naps!
What I was wondering is when all of you get sick how do you handle all of your responsibilities? Especially when your spouse is not in a job that provides much room to beg out to help at home. I need some more ideas because I do occasionally get sick and if we do the same thing too much with these kids they get really bored and I have maniacs to deal with!
I would appreciate any suggestions.
