I’M SO SICK OF SICKNESS

Hey Hive Fam, I hope you don’t mind if I take a moment to talk, rant, vent, clear my head, let off a little steam.

What world are we living in? Every time we step out of the house someone gets sick. I’m not exaggerating, someone in my family ALWAYS comes home with a fever.

Before the world drastically changed in 2020, we were just celebrating how my children were staying well for longer periods of time. None of us were getting sick and we all felt so great.

We eat well enough. I nearly home cook most of our meals from scratch and make sure to add in the healthy essentials to keep our immune systems strong. We even do a lot of fruit smoothies with a few added greens for an extra boost.

We don’t let the kids have too much sweets and candy making sure they do things in moderation. When they want a snack their first options are apples, oranges, bananas and grapes. The second option is usually a cracker or nut snack. We always have tea on hand as well.

I feel like it doesn’t matter any more what we do to try to prevent sickness and stay healthy. I feel like it’s out of our hands once we go outside and breathe in whatever’s in the air. Having this 70 degree windy weather off and on doesn’t help any.

Literally, we are so confused on what season it is. You have to look out your window everyday to see which one it will be. Sixty and seventy degree weather during the Christmas season? Winter is right around the corner. Or is it? Has the earth spent in a new direction we aren’t aware of? 🤷🏽‍♀️

We need the cold weather to help fight these germs being spread around everywhere, this mild pattern is not going to do us any good.

COME ON WINTER BRING ON THE COLD!

I watch my kids leave the house excited and in good health only to return with coughs, sneezes and fevers. It just kills me as a mother to see them sick so often, especially when just the year before we hardly had any sick at all.

We’ve purposely been staying in a little more than usual because of this matter. Though we can’t keep them bound to the house because we have places to go and things we have to do.

Maybe they can become bubble kids where they enter a life size bubble and have to roll it wherever they want to go. They’ll never have to come in contact with the air again.

A little too extreme? Yeah I agree. 😁

It’s just gonna take some extra efforts to try to stay well. We are living in a very different and challenging time. The food has changed, the environment is constantly changing and we have to be cautious of what we put in and on our bodies. It’s sad to say but I honestly don’t trust what is out on the food shelves anymore.

Have you noticed a different taste in your foods? I sure have. Many farms were shut down so you have to ask yourself where is our meat coming from now…along with other things? 😳😕 I have my speculations but I won’t go there right now.

You know what’s crazy? I have literally felt sickness enter my throat and into my body while being outside. Seriously, I felt something enter and it made me cough and I can literally feel it moving down into my chest. This has also happened to two other people in my family as well.

Have you ever experienced something like that?

It was unreal how I felt the whole process. Thank goodness for essential oils that I immediately ingested to kill off whatever it was that entered. I don’t mess around, as soon as I feel something I’m already attacking it before it does what it came to do.

If you sit around and ponder whether you are getting sick or not you are allowing the germs to get stronger. I attack them before they fully attack me.

One of us has to go and it ain’t gonna be me!

One thing I can’t stand is being sick and unable to care properly for my family.

Okay, I think I got it all out and I actually feel better. I have to end this rant and go take care of my babies. Thankfully not all of them are sick but only 2 out of 5 are.

I hope you all and your families are staying well and taking good care. We are doing all we know how to do to take care of our family and will continue to just fight sickness whenever it comes.

I AM SO SICK OF SICKNESS!

Thanks for listening to my rant today, you are such a good listener. This is not normally the type of content I like to put out but sometimes it’s just so freeing to talk about this stuff and get it out. I know many others who feel the same way and they too have been fighting sickness more often than normal.
