Outlaw It

I think mom's getting sick should be outlawed.  Of course, there is no feasible way to enforce it but it should not be allowed.  When the kids get sick they get a sick day.  They stay home from school and get taken care of.  When my husband gets sick he can take a sick day.  He stays home from work and either sleeps or watches tv all day while I take care of him.  When I'm sick.......well I still have to do everything while being sick.  So mom's just shouldn't be allowed to get sick! 

Actually I am very lucky.  I've got an amazing husband and some pretty fantastic kids!  I've been sick all week and all I want to do it curl up and go back to sleep.  Instead I'm still doing most of my usual stuff.  My husband did make dinner a couple times this week so I could rest (and not spread germs, my words not his).  My kids have been doing extra stuff around the house to help me out.  For example Archer ran a bubble bath for Princess so that I didn't have to.  Not a huge thing, but it helped me out a lot to be able to rest. 



Thankfully the crud seems to be on it's way out of the house. At least I hope so! Fingers croseed it's not one of those bugs that comes back around for a second go at it. Until we can figure out how to get mom sick days I'll continue plugging along.  I'll work on getting well as I carry on.   At the end of the day my family is MORE than worth taking care of, even when I'm sick.
