Tissues and Guilt

I'm sick. I have a cold. And, it is annoying. I feel like I am sitting here wallowing in tissues and guilt. I took this week off since the kids have the week off from school. I had grand plans of getting some things done around the house. Yet, here I sit, surrounded by tissues boxes, tea with honey and a good book. Hmmm..... what am I feeling guilty about? The stuff I wanted to get done will still be there when I'm better. Sure, I won't have as much time to do it, but it will get done eventually. Stuff always does. And, in the grand scheme of things, giving my body the rest it needs is a lot more important. I'm still spending time with the kids. And, I actually have time to read a good book. I may still be surounded by tissue boxes, but the guilt has just been given the boot!
