COOKIES

I can go months and months of not being sick and then bammo I will get sick 3 – 4 times within 3 months, I know I should just suck it up and not wash my hands so much like Rob and I probably wouldn’t  have to go thru this but you know what they say about insanity …doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results!! So this weekend I am pretty sure I ate some bad chicken, back in May I was convinced I had food poisoning because I didn’t want to admit that I actually caught a flu bug and I would so much rather have the flu bug than food poisoning, the disgusting watery diarrhea and the vomit that comes up like a violent storm splattering on your legs and clothes, soooooo awesome!

So weeks ago I got invited to help out making cookies and packaging them up for the Troops and of course I said yes, how fun will that be not to mention it is for the Troops! Well low and behold I wake up Sunday morning still feeling the grand effects of the food poisoning so of course human nature kicks in and all I want to do is lay in bed and sit by the toilet. Then I thought wow how selfish of you..I bet our fine men and women serving overseas would love to lay in bed as well..spend time with their families they have been away from for so long, see their first born for the first time instead of just in pictures, not have to lay to rest fallen soldiers, not have to think about being shot at or come across an IED..but they do it because they are strong, they are heroes and they have selflessly signed up to serve and protect and their sacrifices are many. So I think I can quit being so spoiled and do what little I can that doesn’t even compare to what our Wonderful Soldiers are doing.
