Whine, whine, whine, blah, blah, blah…
We are all sick. Very, very sick. Fevers, coughing, the aches, the chills, runny noses, coughing, stomach aches, more coughing…ick, ick, ick. Not exactly how I imagined my homecoming. Whining and green goo. Lovely!
It’s bad enough when it’s just one child. It’s really bad when it’s everyone all at the same time because who inevitably gets the short end of the stick? You got it, Mommy. She has to take care of everyone else. :( I had a little pity party and a bit of a meltdown this morning, “It’s not fair that you got to call in sick and stay in bed all day while I was just as sick and still had to take care of everyone! I wanna call in sick…waaaaaa!!!” But we all know how that goes.
My mom was lovely and took the girls for a few hours this afternoon and I ended up going for a massage which gave me a couple precious hours to myself. Although the wracking cough kind of undoes the relaxing the massage did. Sigh.
For now I’ve handed the reigns to Jer and said, “Your turn!” I’m going to have a hot bath (as per the massage therapists orders) and snuggle up under a blanket with some tea.
Hopefully I can kick this thing quickly so that I can take care of my little people tomorrow.

Ohhhh,don’t you hate being sick? Hopefully it’s a short cold/virus/plague and you’ll be back on your feet soon! Until then, enjoy the hot bath and tea!
