Put your feet up, take a load off...

When you ask? Where? How?

Ever wonder how moms do that? Get a chance to relax, put their feet up, breathe, take a second to themselves?

I didn't think we got to do such a marvel, until I figured it out today. I finally figured out how and I am going to share my secret with you!

I was just wishing for a little time away from this...

Ahh yes, what happens to my pristine kitchen on weekends when the family is all home, all "off duty" and all in a rush for the caboodle of things on our daily lists....

So today I made that wish and got that wish! There I was, reading a magazine, feet up, no one talking to me but myself, just lounging around...a beautiful picture isn't it? One that we all beg for.

Well I am here to tell you the secret, but be careful what you wish for! That picture is in truth quite a bit different....

This...was my quiet place!

My feet, yes they are propped on a doctors table. And that my dear friends is my lovely hospital gown. I was "relaxing" at Instacare. See earlier today hubby made me finally go in to get checked.

I went last night to meet a bunch of wonderful ladies (post update to come) from the blog world. It was tons of fun, however my head felt like it was going to explode the whole time and I had to try to contain myself from sounding like I was death warmed over.

So after a miserable night and several soccer games and pictures today he suggested, um, insisted, I go to get it checked. My facebook update: "At instacare, hubby is makin me go....they'll probably tell me it's just a cold and to get over it...." As you can tell I didn't think it was much.

I was sure I was just being a baby. However the time started ticking on, they needed to check my ears, which was complicated to say in the least, and had to do an x-ray etc etc. So I got my everlong wish. Time alone.

With that wish I owed hubby a rare, "you're right". With that wish also came bronchitis, sinus infection and an ear infection.

So my suggestion to you? Watch what you wish for. You may figure out the secret, but you might just get more than you bargained for!
