Entry FeedI've been feeling under the weather since Thursday. Sore throat, stuffed nose, low grade fever, burning eyeballs. Just general malaise. I am not sick enough to be stuck in bed, but I also don't feel like doing anything. Unfortunately, Mommies don't get a sick time.
Husband is wonderful. Friday he let me stay in bed in the morning (after I got up to prepare lunches and snacks, get the backpacks packed, and the boys dressed and off to school, of course) and he event went to the drugstore to get me some medication.
But there was no question that he would be going into work, leaving me to keep up all of my chores and jobs.
Sure, I can skip laundry and non-urgent cleaning, but I still need to feed the kids, get them dressed, organize their activities, buy birthday gifts, put them to bed, etc. all the while feeling like what I really want to do it stay in bed with tea and a book.
Another friend had some oral surgery this week. I've been there - all she asked of her husband was to drive her home form the surgery and come home early from work; 8 pm is not early. She had a great line - she told him that 10 years from now work will not remember that he stayed late to finish a report, but she would remember him not coming home to help her when she needed it.
As Moms, we are expected to suck it up and get on with it. But who takes care of us? Maybe when the kids are older we can ask them to be quiet so that we can rest, or feed themselves. But at the age it doesn't work.
I know, I know... I sound like a whinny mommy. But my eyeballs are still burning and I just want my throat to feel better!
