baby sick = mommy sick sick

Not just sick for me, heartsick too. It hurts to see your baby so unhappy and not well, but to top it off, I also caught Isaiah's cold. For some reason, I didn't think I would catch it. I somehow thought that during all my kisses and wiping boogers off of Isaiah's face that I was building some kind of supermom immunity. Until last night when I went to bed at 8 pm. I just laid down to "rest my eyes". When I heard Dave plugging in the humidifier for me, and telling me to sit up so I could take some Nyquil. He even tried to put Vicks under my nose, but like a defiant child, I refused. What a sweet husband I have. This morning greeted me with boogers and crusty eyes. Nice. Then I was greeted with more when I went to get Isaiah.
Oh how I miss the days of just lying in bed, drinking tea, and watching tv all day when I was sick. But as "Desperate Housewife" Lynette said to her husband who is now staying at home with the kids, "Being a mom is like being an emergency room doctor, THERE ARE NO DAYS OFF! NOW GET UP!"

So true, I recently posted about there being do days off on this job. You wonder how you will get through the day, but somehow you do and then it's like you have received a new supermom power. No more being pampered when we are sick...
