Sick,but a silver lining

Well, I've been home sick the last few days. I think at this point that it must be the flu, despite having taken regular and H1N1 flu shots. Not fair! The silver lining is that I've had little to no appetite. I've been drinking a ton of fluids, so maybe this will add up to some weight loss by this weekend. It sure does point out how much I do around the house, though. My dH is getting so grumpy about having to do all the little chores I normally take care of, especially with regard to getting the kids school and extracurricular schedules/needs taken care of. He had to do shopping for Easter stuff and birthday presents yesterday, and he was on the phone with me getting constant info on what he should buy. Am I making him helpless by doing so much? Sure seems like it. He was even mad at our helper for moving some opened mail off the dining room table--said he'd rather live in a pigsty than have someone moving stuff around all the time. Am I wrong to have a minor panic when he says things like that? Right now, she's a whole lot more help than he is. I did manage to keep that opinion to myself last night, but come on...when I'm so sick I can't get out of bed except to go to the bathroom and get something to drink, is it so much to ask for a little help? Yikes. Today seems better in terms of the coughing--it was so bad earlier this week that my ribs still hurt. I sincerely hope I can get back into the swing of things soon.
