A look into my life today

First of all, I am just extremely thankful to be feeling a whole lot better today. I've had a really tough week and I'm glad I can see the rainbow in the horizon. lol. Since last Tuesday I've been struggling with a never-ending flu or cold. Whatever it was it was severe! It started in my throat and I have to admit there were times when I wished I could rip my throat out. Yep, it felt that badly. However, I'm thankful for a wonderful husband because having him around was the only way I got through such a terrible week. Being sick was only the half of it but that's all I can say.

My throat was hurting me and I was coughing so horribly. I was getting no sleep and even felt like I was choking at times because the cold was stucked in my throat. Of course then I would wake up in the nights and then couldn't get back to sleep. My chest was hurting so badly and I felt like there were a ton of bricks just sitting on there. It was so bad that by Friday I had lost my voice completely. I had to write instructions on a notepad for Greg. Of course he had to take over many responsibilities and became Mr. Mom over the weekend. We had already RSVP'd to a baby baptism and a birthday party on Saturday so he had to do both of those events. I was too sick and miserable to go anywhere. I also needed to get some rest which was very hard to do.

Sunday was my first day teaching Sunday school for the four & five year olds. Since I had already committed to it and it was my first time I did not want to quit. I do not like to go back on my word. When I make promises I like to keep them. If can can't do something I'll tell you no but truly I will make every effort to do something when someone asks me for help. That's just my passion; I'm a giver and I love to help people. Greg, knowing how much it means to me to keep my commitments, decided to help me. But in all honesty he ended up teaching the class. Sure I prepared the lesson and I wrote everything down for him but he taught the lesson and I only had to jump in a few times. The kids loved him. Adryana was also in our class and she was beaming with pride. She was so happy to have her parents teaching her Sunday school. She said she wanted us to teach every week. I was also happy that I was able to do it and I knew God would give us strength to do it and that's exactly what He did. With the help of my husband, of course. Everyone I tell the story to says Greg deserves some kind of Husband of the Year award for helping me so much when I was sick. I would agree too.

Although I'm not 100% yet, I already feel great just knowing I'm so close to be over this sickness. It really was one of the worst I've had in a while. I really don't like being sick and not being able to do all my responsibilities. I also don't like the fact that when I'm sick I'm really miserable and it makes me so frustrated that I tend to not be a very nice person. I hate admitting that but it's true. I'm kind of mean when I'm sick so I try to stay away from people so I won't have to take out my frustration on them. Therefore, Greg, Adryana and Arjay, I apologize if I was mean to you guys this past week. I love you guys lots and lots. Also, thank you Greg for everything you did to help me. You are the best and I love you! To everyone else, I'm really glad to be back and to be blogging. I hope you are having a great day!
