Haiku Friday: Not Fair

I sneeze and sniffle
I can’t breathe and my head hurts
This is so not fair

The weather is hot
so why am I suffering
from a stupid cold?

Colds are for winter
Not summer – I can blame this
on my one year old.

She had the sniffles
first – guess that’s what I get for
sharing food with her

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!

  1. Sorry you are feeling icky! I had a little cold a couple weeks ago, and it sounds like you are definitely not alone. I agree that a couple months later would seem more right. Feel better!

  2. aw…feel better. we are all snuffly around here too. and i looked back at my blog, we all had colds this part of september last year too! crazy. must be all that back-to-school germy-ness. hang in there.

  3. Argh! I hate having a cold before the weather gets nasty. It’s worse than when it’s bad outside. Hope you feel better, and Mira too!

  4. I think a cold in hot weather is worse than cold weather… it’s just not right!

    Hope you are feeling better soon!!

  5. ya ya's mom says

    sorry you’re feeling sick! my haiku friday will post at midnight. i’m off to bed!

  6. I hear ya! I’ve got a cold complete with sore throat and runny nose. It’s just not right to be suffering from hot sticky weather and a cold at the same time.

    I hope you feel better soon. ;P

    Oh, don’t you just hate a summer cold!? Hope you feel better soon.

    And thanks for signing the petition. 🙂

  8. I think it’s more like sharing air with her! We’re passing the same thing at our house. Feel better.

  9. Oh I feel your pain! Mine kicked in last weekend and I thought I got hit by a Mac truck.

    Hope you feel better =)

  10. Oh well, it goes with the territory. As a teacher, every year with new kids, they brought new germs and I always got sick…still do, even at the college level! Feel better!

  11. Hope you get over your summer cold quickly … being sick is just no fun at all. I’ve got my 70th HF up at Sacred Ruminations but am still working on #71. It should be up in a while at Small Reflections … if all goes well.
    Hugs and blessings,

  12. Hope you are better soon. Autumn yuckies. I always blame allergies. 🙂

  13. Hope you start feeling better soon.

    I feel yucky right now too, my little one gave me Strep Throat.

  14. Greyscale Territory says

    I sympathise completely. I have managed all winter without a cold (though I did get bronchial pneumonia at the end of Summer!) Now Spring is arriving in Australia, I am suffering heavy flu over the last few days! I can’t believe it! If my writing makes much creative sense it is a miracle! But I have to write to stay sane!

  15. Summer colds are the WORST!

    Hope you (and everybody!) are doing much better soon.

  16. Aw, hope you get to feeling better soon! That’s no fun!

  17. Colds are awful no matter the time of year, but the hot weather makes them worse! Hope you get to feeling better here soon!

  18. The Laundress says

    I’m always sharing my daughter’s cooties. Gah.

    Feel better.

  19. I hate getting DB’s colds. I know I’ll always get them though; I can’t seem to be germ-phobic enough to do everything you’re supposed to do to NOT get them. My pediatrician has a good attitude; he’s had so many colds over the decades that he’s never sick anymore, he’s had all the cold viruses. Maybe a ray of hope???

  20. I’ve been fighting a cold all week. It feels so weird to be sick in the summer. Hope you feel better!

  21. missus.mint says

    ragweed! It may not be a cold but allergies instead. Its the time of the season 😉 Hope you feel better whatever the culprit!!!

  22. T with Honey says

    I know your pain. Everyone in our house has a cold. Princess got it first and spread it to Honey and I.

    Hope you’re feeling better soon!

  23. this mama's dreads says

    Thank you for the tip about Flip Flop Mama and her dreads! I’m a little discouraged today LOL Hope you get to feeling better soon!

  24. Kids carry the plague!

    Feel better soon!

  25. I feel you! I’m having the exact same problem! It’s misery!!!
    Hope you feel better soon.

  26. Ugh, so sorry to hear. My daughter and I just had this last week too. Hope you feel better soon!

  27. allergies (all the symptoms of being sick) are big at our house right now

  28. Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well…try hot lemonade!

    Hope you kicked that colds in the butt soon!

    Happy Friday still!!!

  29. Christina @ Cutest Kid Ever says

    This is my first Haiku Friday! I found you when making a list of the top 10 mommy blogs. (You’re one of them!)

    This is fun. I plan to join in every week!

    I hope you feel better.

  30. Maureen @ Wisconsin Mommy says

    Little J had a nasty cold for a few weeks too – feel better soon.

  31. Hope you are feeling beter soon .,.

  32. Ugh! My sinuses were doing horrible things this week with all the crazy weather! Hope we both have relief soon 🙂

  35. Ah! Must be going around Columbus because I’ve had a cold all week. And the funk from school was already brought home with my older son who started puking Friday night. I agree… winter is supposed to be saved for illnesses!
