Bad Timing

"Noooooooo!" is what my friend Rachel replied when my sweet husband emailed her and the other book club members to let them know I would miss our March meeting last night. And "Noooooo!" is exactly what was going through my mind as well. In fact, it had been going through my mind since 1:30 A.M. when I began tossing my cookies.

It was the absolute worst day to be sick. I missed both kids' Easter parties at school. I missed taking Ava to her Kindergarten Round-Up. (Cody took her instead. But oh, I had really wanted to be the one taking her.) And then, the piece de resistance, I missed my book club meeting. Cody calls the monthly book club meeting "the highlight of my life." That's probably a little over-dramatic. Just a little.

Why couldn't I have been sick on some day when I had absolutely nothing going on? There are plenty of those kinds of days, by the way. Oh well. I am better this morning and life goes on. And I am looking forward to playing with my kids- I sure did miss them yesterday!

Yeah, we missed you! But I'm glad you're on the mend! Being sick stinks any day, but yesterday was just not the best one for you to be out of commission.

I am so grateful that you feel better. We missed you so much and I am so sorry you had to miss so many fun activities. Glad the virus was quick moving though.

We sure did miss you! But it was great that we at least got to talk to you on the phone! Glad you are feeling better today!

I am so glad you are feeling better. We definitely missed you! I was very excited you were able to call and join in the conversation. Hope you found something to eat that agreed with your tummy. Sorry you missed out on such a full day.

I'm sorry you had to miss all of the events you had planned - that is a bummer! I'm glad that you are ok now though!
