My Blog is the Internet's Version of My Diary
Not feeling well today, so I think we’ll be staying in tonight. Hubby wants to order chinese food and get a movie. Sounds like a plan although I think chicken soup would be a better suggestion at this point.
Maybe a good night’s sleep and some vitamins will fight this off.
Since Hubby is ill and I am going to make him some chicken soup I thought I would search the web about the benefits of Chicken Soup when sick. Here is what it stated:
“And if you were wondering about just how effective my secret weapon is against the cold and flu season, it’s not so secret. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), found that 87 percent of doctors agree that it is important for people to increase fluid intake when they have a cold. Two out of three of these doctors agree that eating soup is an effective way to improve hydration when experiencing cold symptoms. Chicken broth especially sparked scientific interest in 2000, when a study, published in the medical journal CHEST, indicated that chicken broth had potential anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory studies that potentially could ease the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections.”
Pretty cool info, gotta love the World Wide Web!
Wasn’t feeling well last night, thinking I just needed a good night sleep and would wake up feeling like myself again, but that is what I get for thinking!
Sent hubby to the store to pick up some cold medicine and something quick and easy for him to make supper for the kids if I’m not up to cooking this evening. Some chicken soup would be perfect. What a guy, he was going to do a side plumbing job for some friends this week-end, but promised me that he would call and see if he can do it next week-end, so that he can stay close to home to give me a chance to focus on feeling better. I need to get myself back on my feet before the work week starts, have a busy schedule planned and being sick is NOT on the schedule.
Baby it’s cold outside!
Didn’t get much sleep last night Hubby was coughing up a storm and was tossing and turning most of the time, being the light sleeper that I have turned out to be, I didnt get much rest. Looks like he will stay in the bed for the day, took his temp and he has a low grade fever, we need to get him healthy in time for the work week. With freezing temperatures back a lot of pipes are going to freeze and the company he works for will have many jobs that need to be taken care of.
Speaking of the devil – I hear him calling out for more Jello, time to make up a batch of chicken soup, there is a lot to be said for the Jewish penicillin.
I hope that their are some things on the T.V. that will entertain him while I keep busy in the kitchen and dealing with the kids today.
