63 reasons it sucks to be sick

1.  Because you feel awful.
2.  Because you want everyone else to feel awful.
3.  Because you can't speak normal, i.e. I what dome chicken soup for dinner...
4.  You can't breathe through your nose.
5.  You're tired.
6.  Your head hurts.
7.  Food tastes funny.
8.  Your nose is stuffy.
9.  Your nose is runny (which doesn't make sense if it's stuffy).
(Oh yeah, that reminds me of a V-Day card my sister sent me once.  Best poem evah! :)  "Don't kiss your honey, when your nose is runny.  You may think it's funny, but it's snot." )  LMAO!
10. If you're a smoker, you will most likely die from chest pain once the coughing begins.
11.  After having 2 babies, I HATE coughing.  (C'mon ladies...you know what I'm talking about.)
12.  Watery eyes
13.  I become this hormonal/emotional wreck.  (Even more so than normal!)
14.  Drinking doesn't appeal to you unless it's hot whiskey.  Yuck!  (Why can't hot Ballatore cure colds, or better yet....ice cold Ballatore!)
15.  You let your kids destroy your house because you don't have the energy to parent them while resting on the couch.
16.  If you have a fever, and you drink milk, you'll throw up cottage cheese.  (True story.)
17.  You don't sleep well....at all.
18.  Your ears are itchy inside.
19.  Your throat is scratchy.
***WARNING!!!  Do NOT believe your husband when he says a shot of PETERCILLIAN will help your throat.  He's LYING!***
20.  You STILL have to cook dinner.
21.  You go from hot to cold faster than a perimenopausal woman.  (No offense to any perimenopausal women out there.)
22.  You HAVE to wear your ugliest clothes, because chances are, they're your most comfortable ones.
23.  Your house looks like a tissue factory exploded because there are dirty tissues all over the house.
24.  Your nose is red enough to lead Santa on Christmas Eve.
25.  Your face puffs up and you look like the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man from the chin up.
26.  Feeling like you have Elmers glue and sandpaper in your eyes is a real condition.  It really sucks.
27.  Chances are you'll get a member of your family sick, and once you're cured, it'll come back and getcha again.
28.  You drink a ton of fluids to help yourself feel better, and then pee as often as you did at 9 months pregnant.
29.  No doubt, during your episode, you're husband will get a sore throat, and then you'll have to baby his ass while still being sick yourself.  (This is grounds for murder in MOST countries.)
30.  Your brain is clouded.  You don't know up from down, left from right, and you feel dizzy.  It's like being stoned, without being cool and getting stoned.


Okay, so maybe it's not 63 reasons, but it's still a lot of reasons.  If you have more to include, please feel free to comment below.
