Luckily, I have entered the new age and finally got an iphone. I'm in love. This phone has kept me sane while stuck in bed. My Words with Friends has gotten more play than any boxes of Scrabble at a senior living center. I've mastered the angry birds and did you know that "qi" is a word?
Well, one of my best friends posted this on facebook today and I just had to share it to complete this random post.
I LOVED this article so much...and I wish I had read it sooner. At the same time, I can tell you that while I run around like a chicken with my head cut off most of the day...I always make time for my friends. Even if you just send a one sentence email, it's still something. People need to realize that being a parent is a 24/7 job, no vacation, no clocking out or calling in when you are sick. At the same time, being a parent doesn't mean you are somehow more entitled just because maybe you grew a human. Being a friend is about being there sometimes when it's least convenient. Then again, I can't tell you how many people in my life I wish would read this article.

Oh boo, pneumonia? Ugh.
That article rocked!
I hope you feel better soon girl. I hate that you are sick. I am on words with friends. We should play a game,although I am no good most of the time. I also LOVE Angry Birds. I have almost 3 stars on every one now. Tells you how boring my life is. LOL Get better soon.
hope you get to feeling better soon blondie!
so happy you are rockin' an iphone now! i want one so bad, but the blackberry does the trick for now, in fact, i go back and forth between the two all the time!
great article!
Get better soon!
Now I know why mom feels so exhausted.I guess I always did, but didn't want to admit it :)
I loved that article (and agree!).
Hope you feel better soon!! Pneumonia is one nasty thing to have.
I love Words with Friends too! My name is SpicyKrystal if you need someone else to play! =)
Feel better!!
LOL at that article.
Take lots of Vitamin C Juliana. As much as your body can tolerate (which is more than you think). An average person can take 6000 mg a day for just regular maintenance. So, when you're sick you should be able to take at least twice that amount. The worst thing that an overdose of Vit C will do is give you the runs. Not fun, but not life threatening either. When I am sick, I like it in the packs with the other vitamins (flavored) that you mix with water. I don't take it strictly like that ~ just sometimes. And take zinc if you aren't already. I sure hope you feel better soon. I have had pneumonia and it sucks. I know I am throwing tons of stuff at you, but have you tried a neti pot? You can get them at your local pharmacy. If you are having any sinus issues, it will help. I know that most of your issues are in your chest, but sometimes you get some sinus congestion, too. ((hugs)) Take care and feel better.
Feel better friend!! Hopefully you heal quick! And doesn't slow you down too much!
I loved the article! Everyone should read it! And I think you are simply AMAZING at keeping in touch with those you care about!
Love ya!
Get better soon. That sucks. And great article. So true. Don't know how I survived pre-iphone days. Really.
I will leave a random comment to match your random post :P
Sorry you're sick, that sucks!
I am a Words With Friends addict (username: exotiKat)!!
I thought that article was well-stated, thanks for sharing!!!
Hope you feel better soon.
Yick on the pnuemonia.. take care of you sweetie.. and I loved the article soooo true..
Good article. POO...pneumonia sucks. I feel bad for ya. I had double pneumonia when I was 6 months pregnant with my first and it sucked cuz I had to miss a week of work and could only take tylenol due to being pregnant. Hope you get well soon. *hugs*
Hope you feel better! Great article! People are always so critical of SAHMs...everyone should read this!
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you get better asap.
FEEL BETTER!!!!!
Ugh...sucks to be sick. Get better soon.
And nice find on the article. It's fabulous.
My wife gets frustrated when her friends without kids seem to judge her as "faking it" or not really being as busy as she says she is....what frustrates her even more is when her "working mom" friends make similar assumptions that she just sits at home all day eating bon-bons and watching soap operas and so they try to dump task after task on her like she has 100% free time while they're at work.
As the working husband to my stay-at-home-mom wife, I try hard to give her a break when I get home. True, I've been working all day and I'm sometimes frazzled...but she's been working just as hard (often harder) than me and has every right to be frazzled and relax at the end of the day as I do.
Being a mom is a full time job...and then some.
The few times I've played Mr. Mom while she goes to conferences, community projects, etc, I come away with even more respect for her.
oh no!!!! feel better Jewels!!
Nice Chest..{{wink, wink}}
:OP
sorry I don't want to make you laugh cause I'm sure it hurts when you do.
Anyway, hope you feel better soon!
Oh no! Hope you are better soon. LOVE the article. There are a few people I wish would read this too.
Sorry you're sick! The article was dead-on - loved it. I have THREE kids, so without Facebook, email, etc. I'd never talk to my friends!
Oh honey I hope you feel better soon. Pneumonia is no fun!
Feel better SOON my sweet Friend!
Miss you!
Sending you lots of sweet HUGS!
xo
I am so sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope you feel better soon.
oh man, take care of yourself and feel better soon!!
Hope you feel better soon!
I hope you get to feeling better!
Hope you get better soon. Our whole family is sick right now so I totally get what you are saying. Blech!
Friends without kids really don't get it. I know I didn't, although I was the first to have kids, so there you go. I do think it's important to make the smallest of connections sometimes. A text can mean a whole lot!
feel better soon, dear! <3 sending get well wishes!
Feel better lovely. I so enjoy visiting you:-)
pneumonia?! in the summer?!? uh what!
aw man hope you feel better soon :(
aw girl....you rest and get better soon!!!
I have seen that article before ...haha. still funny!!
xo
so sorry you are sick!!! I hope you are feeling better soon. Great article! xoxo
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you're sick. Get better soon! And yes! I'm obsessed with Words with Friends.
Get better dear! That article was awesome and I don't even have kids (I am staying at home while looking for work though and people wonder what I do all day. Besides blogging, I do 3 loads of laundry a week and cook almost every day besides going to the grocery store at least once a week!)
Pneumonia stinks! I get it with my asthma if I don't watch out when I have colds.
See I like the article too - but I also keep in touch with friends. Not as much as I would like but still! I mean that is why God allowed Facebook to be invented, right?
pneumonia sucks and it hurts... Sorry lady.
what do sahm's do? - well they do much more than a lot of people give them credit for. So I hope y'all can change the world's perspective.
Now if only I can find someone to pay my bills so I don't have to work anymore and I can use my children as my "busy" excuse...

Great article...
And pneumonia?? Oh, no, no, no. That's terrible. Hang in there. I hope you're feeling better soon. :)
I read it and I am posting it on my blog sister!!!! i love it!!!
I hate to hear that you are sick...get better soon (and home from the hospital). I am stealling the article-I LOVE it!
I've been dying to play Words with Friends with someone... I haven't figured out how to do it. If you don't mind playing w/ a newbie (I do play Scrabble online every day!) I'll play. I'm on Twitter as wombatcentral.
Feel better soon. Read your more recent post, and you sound like you need to stay in that bed and let everyone take care of you!

I guess having something useful or substantial to post about is the most important factor.
