When people call in to work, I usually think they just wanted the day off...mean, huh? I have to admit, i don't like people hovering around me when I don't feel well, I just want to be left alone...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-5453350786771578112011-05-24T22:01:15.816-05:002011-05-24T22:01:15.816-05:00I also think we are secretly related.

The number of times I've wanted to say "Um hello...I have BIRTHED FOUR CHILDREN so kindly shut your pie hole and get to work!" probably warrants some kind of reverse good wife award.

In fact, I'm probably going to have to read it to my husband later...he'll appreciate it. He just got over being sick himself, and I think I DID actually say, "suck it up" at one point to him. And like your Andy, my Jeremy is a wonderful nurse when I'm sick. He answers to my every whim...and I'm not the best patient either. <br /><br />Thanks for the laugh!Katie @ Chicken Noodle Gravyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852793993330125727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-72927285812512520452011-05-24T15:38:58.663-05:002011-05-24T15:38:58.663-05:00I am somewhere between chicken soup and 7up - if t...I am somewhere between chicken soup and 7up - if that makes sense!!!!<br />Andy, get well soon before worse happens to you...Paulahttp://paulabowser.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-76696861048862215832011-05-24T14:44:02.371-05:002011-05-24T14:44:02.371-05:00I used to be empathetic to my husband when he was ...I used to be empathetic to my husband when he was sick, making homemade chicken broth with special Polish noodles (by hand!) he liked, nursing him better. Now? No empathy. I actually do call out "Suck it up" to him. Why? Because that's what he has always given me when I was sick. He comes from a long line of people who just don't care.

I'm not being mean, just fair. When I'm sick (which isn't often), I just push my way through each day, no matter how much I want to just lie in bed and moan. I get no sympathy from anyone. Him? He just lies in the bed, and moans. It's pitiful.LeAnn Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258670728269904094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-71687783296755502182011-05-24T12:23:07.907-05:002011-05-24T12:23:07.907-05:00You crack me up----but I do feel a little bad for ...You crack me up----but I do feel a little bad for Andy!Alexis of NorthOnHarperhttp://northonharper.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-82747088799702914832011-05-24T11:36:15.986-05:002011-05-24T11:36:15.986-05:00lol-- no it's just that boys don't know ho...lol-- no it's just that boys don't know how to handle being sick!emily @ the happy homehttp://www.happyhomeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-13668692561096652932011-05-24T11:18:52.530-05:002011-05-24T11:18:52.530-05:00A girl after my own heart, lol.

I have a tendency to want to shake others by the shoulders and say 'put on your big girl panties and deal with it.' And when I am the one who is sick... I want all the sympathy in the world. ;)songbyrdonthemountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972167645190643502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949315742598489928.post-69603059805955261912011-05-24T10:47:44.395-05:002011-05-24T10:47:44.395-05:00*Chuckle* I will baby my kids when they're si...*Chuckle* I will baby my kids when they're sick but I have no tolerance when my hubby is sick.
