I've heard this illness is very common and everyone has it at least once. I must have been vaccinated against it, because so far, I haven't had this homesickness mami talks about.
Why doesn't she just go to the GP like when I'm sick? Silly mami, I think she want to ride it out.
From what I can see, there are more serious cases and sometimes you just get a small virus. She says "this time of year is the worst for homesickness".
And I hope it's not contagious because I don't want to catch homesick too. Come to think of it, papi doesn't seem to have caught it, so I should be safe. Phewwwww!
Here's what I recommend
- Take Calpol before bed and take every 4 hours as needed. Always works for me!
- Lots of kisses and hugs from papi and I
- A long nap. I always feel a little better after a good sleep
- Have a bottle of warm milk or coffee, I know how much you like drinking that
- Keep the special picture I made for you with glitter close by. I know how much you like sparkly stuff!
My sparkly picture for you!
Te quiero
I know so many American women who have special light boxes to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I always get a bit homesick around the holidays because it is normal to miss home.
Y'all are more than welcome in Glasgow for a proper Thanksgiving if you like and Blondie Boy and Little M can make hand turkeys :)
Oh dear, I guess it is that time of the year. I hope it gets better, PS I love the glitter!
ReplyDeleteHope she feels better again soon, I think it comes and goes.
ReplyDeleteI've given you an award over at mine, maybe that will help cheer her up a little bit :)
It's the holidays. And the cold weather. And being away too long. How about go to waitrose, get some tinned pumpkin, and make a big pumpkin pie??!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for your nice comments! It comes and goes in waves,and that pumpkin pie idea seems like a very good one right about now!
ReplyDeleteWould love to go to Scotland too :)
Awww, this year I'm understanding how mami feels. x
ReplyDeleteMaria, I guess the run up to Chrsitmas has left you homesick. I hope the calpol works. Otherwise perhaps a dose of being with others woh know how you feel.
