The Good In the Bad

finally, I got to sleep in!
though only 'cuz I'm sick
today I just can't win
but I don't give a lick
      I'll drag myself out of bed
      my home I will clean
      because I am wed
      and marriage can be mean
I'll put dinner on the table
while thanking God above
try to do more than I am able
to show my family love
      and when night gently falls
      I'll snuggle in my hubby's arms
      as sweet sleep softly calls 
      we keep each other cozy and safe from all harms
tomorrow I'll feel better
and look back on today
then think about the future
and thankfully I'll pray

I hope you feel better soon. Being under the weather is no fun and especially when you have a household to run. Drink plenty of fluids and listen to plenty of GnR. :)

You forget about me the third one "ugly" LOL I loved the poem, knowing you weren't well, provides the background to appreciate it even more!
