It's a GOOD thing ...
That I'm living with a doctor. This week I've had some kind of stomach thing that I just can't shake. I'm not able to sleep because I hurt. And I'm cold all the time. Dr. Tom isn't sure what's going on. He prescribed Zantac for the stomach. And I've spent much of my day huddled under a pile of blankets - shivering.
Last night, in a stroke of weird luck, I found a needle that had been dropped in the carpet. Dr. Tom used the pliers to pull it out. Tucker (who was the one playing with Aunt Eliza's sewing box earlier) was all relieved that I wasn't crying and having a fit. He said, "Wow, Mom, I'm glad that didn't really hurt ..."
Aunt Eliza set him straight.
Now, I'm disappointed, because tonight I was supposed to have a date with Michael. But there's no way I can take my son out feeling the way I do. We missed our date last weekend due to other hindrances. I'm really fretting about this because I think it's extremely important that he know he can rely on me to keep my word. I try not to make him too many promises because I know how easy it is to have something happen out of my control that would bring disappointment. But I wanted to do this. And I will. Just as soon as I can.
Now, because I've promised to take care of myself, I'm crawling back under those aforementioned blankets.

You poor thing! I hope you feel better soon!
Oi! I hope you get better soon soon soon!
Do you have some kind of stomach virus? O_O Michael may be all disappointed but he'll hopefully understand!!
hope you feel better soon
Ouch........and double ouch. The stomach pain, especially.
I hope you get feeling better soon. And once you get rid of the bug, you'll be able to catch up with life. Take care.
Hope you feel better, Im sure that Michael knows you are sick and that you will get back to that date night once you kick this virus.

Give him actual 'rainchecks' - like index cards - that he can redeem for the missed 'dates' as soon as you're feeling better. Which will be soon, I hope.
Kids understand when mom's sick. He'll be ok with a raincheck I'm sure.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Oh, hon.
Feel better SOON. And as for Michael: well, people sometimes break promises because unpleasant temporary things happen. He can handle that. [[[hugs]]]
Who says you cant have a private dinner for two in your room and just share some killer quality time?
Think outside the box shipmate!
date on... date on!!!
Sending healing thoughts your way.
Hoping you get better soon so you can keep you date with Michael. Also so you feel better.
Mike
