Life Doesn’t Have to Become Unravelled When Mom Is Sick – 5 Things to Help Your Home Run Well When You Aren’t Feeling Well

Spread the love

I’m sick. Feeling like pooh (and I’m not talking about Winnie)! Sniffing, snorting, sneezing, fever, just-want-to-crawl-under-the-covers sick.

Somewhere between chills and Kleenex, my blank mind wandered to a time when my children were young and being sick wasn’t something I had time for. 

I wasn’t prepared.

Proverbs 31:21 gives us an inside peek at the intimidating Mrs. Proverbs 31’s home life.

“She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.”

She wasn’t afraid of what lurked beyond the four walls of her house because, like a girl scout, Mrs. Proverbs 31 was ready.

I wasn’t wise enough when my children were young to be ready for what might come our way. But I want to help you be ready.

Today, I want to give you a free resource that I wish I would have had when my sons were young. It’s your chance to be that Proverbs 31 woman and be ready for those days when you don’t feel well, have to go out of town, or need to shift responsibilities for a while.

  1. Get some rest – You can’t get better if you don’t get some rest.
  2. Enlist your family – Have your hubby and children do what you can’t.
  3. Ask for help – Your extended family, your friends, and your church family will be glad to help. You just need to be willing to ask.
  4. Don’t worry – It’s okay if things don’t run as smoothly as when you’re feeling well. It’s okay if your home isn’t as tidy as you normally keep it. It’s okay if the kids have peanut butter and jelly for dinner two days in a row. Don’t worry. Anxiety is hard on your health.
  5. Be prepared – Live ready! Have some meals in the freezer, cleaning supplies in one place, and appointments on the calendar and not just in your head. We’ve prepared a free resources to help. It’s called Momma’s Back Up Plan.
