Sometimes I just relax on the couch and doze off, but then I feel so bad about not keeping up with the kids and the house. But if you're sick, you're sick and the housework and kid messes can wait. Take care of yourself so that you can get better soon!

Hope you feel better, and that it doesn't linger for long!
