Remember the days of being sick and single? You would lay on the couch, drugged by some good cold medication. In your haze you would watch the Price Is Right, I dream of Jeannie re-runs, and nature programs. Drifting in and out of sleep you would shuffle to the potty and to the kitchen only to declare yourself too sick to cook. After a hot bath you would get into bed before it was dark out and have that good NyQuil sleep.
Boy oh boy how times have changed. I have had the flu for a couple of days now but somehow moms are expected to keep on doing everything they usually do. The kids still have to eat, get diapers changed and entertained. Add a sick infant with the same thing that wants to nurse all the time and a toddler who is jealous of all the attention his sister is getting........ ahhhhhhhhhh! My hubby took most the slack yesterday- thank the Lord! Today however I am on my own.
I guess I am kind of complaining.... I just think that moms need sick days.

Ahhhh... The Price is Right! I think that is the quintessential "sick day" show, no matter your age. Well, OK, my 3-year-old isn't quite ready to sit and watch Plinko, but you get the idea. :-)
I hope you and your baby are both feeling better soon. Praying for a quick recovery, and that you can get through everything you need to until then!
