Have you ever had a week full of failures? A week when you don’t feel like doing any thing at all? A week where it takes all the energy you have to just get out of bed? Well, it has been one of those weeks here at my house. A week full of fails! Where do I start? Hmm…umkay…
Here’s a quick run-down:
- No dishes the entire week – you should see my kitchen!
- Washed ONE load of laundry
- Cooked one meal
- Stayed in my PJs every. single. day
- Fallen horribly behind on everything.
- Didn’t even get my sweet hubby an anniversary card/gift.
After a fabulous time at Blissdom, I woke up on Monday morning feeling like I’d been hit by a Mac Truck and I’ve felt pretty rough the whole week. My ears are clogged, my throat is sore and I just feel yucky. Ridley is starting to get over his cold, ear infection and cough. Poor baby! Poor mama! Anyway, I’m just hoping and praying that Ernie stays well.
So, I guess I have a little bit of an excuse for all the failures. Maybe.
I’ve told you before that folding laundry and putting it away is my nemesis (aka FAIL). Yeah. So thankfully I have an amazing husband who is a huge help in folding! See? {blush}

You are so speaking my language this week! I’m definitely gonna have to do a post and link up since I’ve got plenty of failures to talk about. (it’ll probably be tomorrow though since I should already be in the bed!)
I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to put pictures of how bad my house looks though!
Don’t feel bad about everything….no one can help being sick and it would’ve just made you worse to push yourself to do more! Oh, and I have a clothes-folding husband too. lol

So sorry you are not feeling well! Some weeks are just like that. On a positive note, we you wear pjs all day it makes for less laundry.

Awww…I hope you and the little one are feeling better! I have definitely had weeks like that! I love the picture of your husband helping with the laundry! I got two loads done this week, but apparently they were the wrong ones…haha…my husband woke me up this morning wanting to know if I washed his dress pants, and unfortunately the answer was “No”! I hope you all have a nice weekend!

@Christina, I’m so glad I’m not the only one….my hubs wakes me up to find out if his clothes are clean or not — sometimes. Thankfully it’s not too often!

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well but I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one who had no gumption after Blissdom. My giddy up got up and went. I’m hoping that bu Monday I feel like myself again… *sigh*

@Cheryl@SomewhatCrunchy, Are you feeling better now? I was TOTALLY wiped after Blissdom. Seriously.

I felt like last month was just a month of fails. Too many to share. Thanks for sharing that life isn’t always perfect. It’s nice to know there are others whose lives are perfectly imperfect.

@April Driggers, Thanks girlie! Yes, ma’am, I’m a real person! With many passions, but many flaws!

I’ve been in the same exact boat this week. My ears are clogged, throat hurts, and I’m sneezing like crazy. I get the big kids off to school at about 7am, and I head back to bed and stay there until {gasp} about 10am! My house is in shambles, after my husband kept it spotless while I was at Blissdom.
Fingers crossed I can be “me” on Monday!

Folding and putting away laundry is my most dreaded chore, too! We always seem to have baskets of clean laundry we are digging through!

Yes, I’m sure we have all had weeks like this! I have several months of it at a time during morning sickness–ugh. Glad you had some help from Ernie. Hope you all feel better soon.

I’m too embarrassed to take a picture of my laundry. #wewontgothere
Kudos to you, and your husband IS a sweetie! It was so nice meeting him!

Hope you and your son feel better. We have been sick here too but just to make you feel better I posted a Friday Fails post with pictures of my den… and it didn’t just look like that this week

What a cute idea for a link party! It is nice to know we are never alone in our ‘fails’. I hope your household is all feeling better!

Feel better soon and thanks for keeping it real. Your laundry pile and mine could be twins. I am always telling my husband that laundry is my nemesis, just can’t ever seem to get on top of it and when I do it is back to crazy a day or two later. =)

@Katie @ Frugal Femina, Doesn’t your hubby do the laundry?
[Reply]
Aw, feel better soon! Being a sick mommy is TOUGH.
Looking at that picture, I just keep thinking what a wonderful hubby your son will be to some lucky lady one day. What a great example he has in your husband! Hopefully he’ll find a lady as sweet as you.
