Sick and Tired

Things moms do when they are sick -

1. Change 3 dirty diapers.
2. Wipe up approximately 8 piles of spit-up.
3. Build one fort out of two cardboard boxes.
4. Build a lego house.
5. Make lunch for a preschooler.
6. Feed a baby.
7. Pick up one child from kindergarten.
8. Do laundry so the kindergartener has pants to wear to school tomorrow, and the 31-year-old has pants to wear to work. (If someone had told me I would be sick, I don't think I'd have let myself get behind in the laundry department.)
9. Blog. (Okay, I don't have to blog, but I'm trying to pass the next 1/2 hour until Corey comes home from worship practice.)

Things moms don't do when they are sick.

1. Lay on the couch all day (though I wanted to so badly).
2. Watch TV
3. Shower.
4. Change out of sweats.
5. Rest.

I have a wonderful husband who stayed home long enough to get the kids up and going for the day this morning, and then came home early and fed the kids supper so I could take a nap, so I really can't complain too much. I just don't think I appreciated that previous era of my life when being sick meant I could just be sick.
