I have a cold

I have a cold!!!!! Got it one week ago today with a sore throat, not just a regular sore throat but the kind of sore throat that I really thought my throat was bleeding! Everytime I talked, swallowed or breathed my throat would kill me. Now 7 days later, I have a stuffed up head, mucus in my chest and I am miserable. When I cough, it hurts!!! You would think that I could stay at home and rest but no, my life is not condusive to such things. I did leave work at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, got home at 1:15 p.m. and went straight to bed! No more slack time for me though!!!!! Why do we as mothers and wives have so many duties in our lives that we can't take the time to get better? Why are our lives to hectic with work, meetings, children and other things to do that we can't just step back and rest? Something has to give!!!!! I don't know what it is but it is clear to me that this is NOT the way that we were meant to live. I have named my blog "Enjoying the Little Moments" because it is important that we "ENJOY" life. When I am old (older than I am now) and I look back at it all, it really won't matter if my house was clean, it won't matter if I spent every day in this stupid cubby that I work in, it won't matter if I went to church every Wednesday and Sunday. It will matter that I lived the type of life that God wanted me to, that I spent time with my family, spent time with myself, and that I cherished this wonderful "life" that the Lord gave me. Just something that I am thinking about... Your thoughts?
