I've been sick the past couple days. Yesterday my temp was 102, and I could barely get off the couch. (Better today, thank goodness.)
I noticed how things change around here when Mama's sick. As I watched the dishes pile up and noted how badly the floors needed sweeping, I found myself saying some unlikely things to my Booger Boys:
- What's for dinner, Mommy?
"You know where the cereal is. Get some for your brother, too."
- Can I eat the leftover noodles in the fridge?
"Sure. Go ahead and eat 'em cold. If you can't reach the forks, just use your fingers."
- I don't have any clean socks.
"Well, find some in the laundry basket that don't stink too bad."
- Can I watch another show?
"Sure. Watch as much TV as you like."
As much as I hate seeing my children sick, it is so much easier when they are sick instead of me. The last time I was sick my girls were upstairs every 5 minutes "Mommy are you OK?" It was sweet at first and then quite annoying. Glad you're feeling better.
