The most overrated piece of furniture in our house

Every day when I'm busy running around the house I cast a longing glance at the couch and think how nice it would be to have a whole day to crash on the couch doing nothing.

Silly girl.

I've been sitting on the couch for a day and a half doing precisely that and I can tell you that I would love nothing more to have a burst of good health so I could drag the dang thing outside and burn it.

I've caught the head congestion thing in all it's kleenex-up-the-nose, Mentholatum mustache skankiness. Of course it's accompanied by don't-touch-me body aches.

I'm not very good at being sick.

I long for my old relationship with the couch. Curled up in the corner after the kids go to bed with a plate from my hidden snack stash and watching American Idol. Just the way God intended.

Isn't it funny how being sick makes you hate your favorite piece of furniture? I always become so irritated with my bed..and I LOVE my bed :)

that's funny, when I first started reading I was thinking- be careful what you wish for- because I have done the same thing! Sometimes I just want to lounge in my bed till whenever I feel like getting up but after a few days of sickies, I hate my bed and never want be in it again.

hope you feel better soon!
