I'm Still Alive...Sort Of

It's been a surreal week. DH and I both have had some sort of knock-you-down-and-step-on-you virus for the past few days. However, I have taken this time to do some thinking and come up with some very important conclusions, such as life is not worth living and I will never do anything else in my life that I have wanted to accomplish. I'm also a bad parent, and my children will grow up to hate me. If you look carefully, you will see a rain cloud above my head.

"If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions."

Oh dear--I hope you get over the cold and the doldrums soon. I'm getting over a cough myself, passing the illness to the Quipper. If you are in church tomorrow you'll hear the Engineer and me coughing our way through the service.

Barb,

You have family and friends that care about you no matter what. Here's hoping and praying that things get better for you soon.

Hi Barb,

I hope you start feeling better soon, in both body and spirit. May the rain cloud dissipate and be replaced with the shining sun and a beautiful rainbow.

I have been under the weather myself, but I'm feeling better now. I finally got around to posting that additional info I promised you in the comments of the "prediction" thread at my place. Sorry it took me so long.

your children will only hate you if you make them hate you! don't put that statement into their heads. perhaps you should see your Dr again! something is NOT right with your meds!

I'm right there with ya! We've all been passing around a bug here. Not fun! I start thinking a lot of those things when I don't feel well. The mascot I adopt for those days is Eeyore. He about fits my mood.
Praying you are feeling better now, as well as the rest of your family.
