Taking Breaks and Being Sick

It is funny that in my house....at least when it comes to taking breaks and being sick....they always seem to go together. Unless I am sick or something, those frivolous, guilt-free breaks are not really part of my life. Who do I really think I am? Well, that is a good question. Somehow I ( and many with me) have decided that we are Superwomen or something and we go and go and go until we fall apart. Not even GOD Himself ran non-stop...He took a break. And I don't. A good friend of mine told me today that it would be good for me to take a break here and there....maybe even during one of those super full days....she is right. So now I have my break. And I am being sick. The couch looks good right now....with a roaring fired....a nice blanket...a Swedish Cross word puzzle....and I am set. I am taking my break. And should that zappy feeling of no energy, of aching all over persist....well, you know where to find me this weekend when I originally had 5 (FIVE) different things on my schedule....who do I really think I am??
