I think, one of the hardest things about being a mom is not having sick days. If the stay-at-home mom is sick lunch still needs to be made, the kids still need to go to school, basically life as normal needs to happen for the kids. It is the worst! Today, I desperately needed a sick day. I have a horrible head cold - the only thing I wanted was far from my reach - a day, no even just a couple of hours tucked in my bed, with netflix and a box of tissues.
When things have been really bad I have reached out for help from my mother-in-law who lives in town, or my mother who lives a 4 hour car ride away. I have even asked friends to help drive the kids around. I am always so hesitant to ask for help from other Moms. The last thing I would ever want to do, would be to give my germs to my friends.
So I made it through the day - NyQuil is calling. My husband is on tonight if any of the little ones wake up.
