Wait, hang on.
I need to cue the teeny tiny violin players…
Okay, I’m ready now.
Somehow, in the dead of summer, I am sick. Maybe it’s the fact that I just flew on an airplane which is a pricey way of ensuring you get the latest bug, or maybe it’s that I have two kids who also happen to be a pricey way of ensuring you get the latest bug….either way, I got it, and I’m not loving it.
I’m not the kind of girl who sucks it up and goes on with life. Oh no, I’m the middle child, the one who needs attention because all my life I was lost and forgotten. Therefore, my hand has been permanently attached to my forehead in a woe is me sort of way, and I have been tweeting my symptoms every ten minutes just in case people are keeping track. And I’m pretty sure they are.
So, here I lie on my bed of death, surrounded by tissues for snot, a computer for complaining, and a cell phone for those who are willing to be at my beck and call.
Yet, for you, my dear readers, I forced myself to pull it together. For you, I was willing to cheat death by cold, and write. Because on the chance that today is my last day to live, (can people die of a cold?), then I want you to remember that I loved you all.
So, don’t cry for me, my dear readers.
The truth is, I’ll never leave you….
Or something like that.
Okay, not sure if these tears streaming down my cheeks are from the cold of death or from the emotions of that song….regardless…it’s a clear sign I’m losing my clarity of thought, and I should go and rest my weary head.

You crack me up. One word, girly: NYQUIL. 🙂 Feel better soon.
=(
Hope you feel better soon. Summertime sickness is
the. worst.
Ohhh nooo! Again, here’s yet another time it would be convenient for me to live near. I could make you homemade soup, put on sex and the city dvds and manage the babes for you! I’d basically be the perfect wife for you, haha!
Get well!
Feel better soon!
I, too, think I have been playing near to a flu… now is not a good time to get sick!
Awww…so sorry you’re sick, hope you are feeling better soon!
oh I’m horrible when I get sick, THE biggest whiner ever. Feel better soon <3
I feel your pain.
I hope you’re feeling much better soon.
Feel better, you lovely little middle child drama queen!
I think some people do die of colds. But I’m pretty sure you will pull through! Sorry for your suffering. Hope you feel better soon!
Ha! The good news is that I’m laughing with you, not at you.
I hope you feel better soon!
How has time managed to go on with you surrounded by snot rags? And when I read your little “Don’t cry for me dear readers…” it was to the tune of “Don’t cry for me Argentina” that was the plan, right?
You needing to be the center of attention? Never!
Feel better soon 🙂
I love this! Hope you feel better soon 🙂
You want I should sent some chicken soup or some strong whisky?
Feel better soon, Summer.
I have the same cold. We will SURVIVE!
I feel your pain, I hope you feel better soon.
Oh man… I have it too. It must be going around. I’m seriously on WEEK TWO! of this stupid cold. And now instead of just me being sick I’ve shared it with the rest of the family… they’re totally excited about it let me tell ya.
