Flu Haiku

It's been so long since
I've been sick that I forgot
I'm not essential.

Woke up at 3 am with a raging sore throat and headache; had a fever and body chills by dawn. It still took me half a day to realize the world would function very well without me if I just put my sorry self back to bed, where I belong. I think this happens to moms, in particular ... we do a lot and get to thinking everything will fall apart without us.

Trust me.

It won't.
