I didn’t think that mommies ever got sick. Since I have been a Mommy these past 9 years I have learned that that isn’t true. What I have learned is that mommies do not get sick leave from their job!
I have been very fortunate that Dadzoo’s employment has made it easy for him to take a day off if I am sick. Most of the time, but I have to be really, really sick! However, Dadzoo is in the middle of a major project at work, a make-it-or-break-it kind of project, so he couldn’t’ stay home today. I told him yesterday when the baby was at his sickest that there wouldn’t be a soft place to land that night, he laughed, I am so grateful that I have a very understanding husband.
I am going to go now and give my 8 year old directions on starting something for dinner from the comfort of the couch (I am thinking chicken soup). Hopefully I will be back blogging something brilliant soon….or at least muttering about my life…..as exciting as that is.
****UPDATE*****
Dadzoo is doing a “work from home day”tomorrow (Thursday). I am relieved beyond words…
Oh, no! I hope you get feeling better soon. Hooray for a patient husband and helpful kids!
Good for PIC. Give him an extra big kiss, when you aren’t contagious that is. I hope that you feel better soon. I don’t think there are many feeling on earth worse than being sick as a mom, especially when your little ones are sick at the same time.
I’m sending you get better vibes!!!
You have rocked my world! Mothers don’t get sick I swear. Anyway get better soon.
Oh I can sure feel your pain! There is NOTHING worse than being sick…especially when you have to get cookin’ dinner! At least you know you’re not pregnant…are you?
I better not be pregnant!! LOL, no I am pretty sure it is the flu, Tom and Sarah have been sick too.
Awww….prayers for healing are on the wing right now.
But wow, an 8 year old who is able to get chicken soup on the table sounds so nice! You must have taught well.
Hope things are nice and restful and comforting for you as you heal…
Being sick is the worst when you are a mom. I totally can feel your pain, except I only have two kids and you have 5, I don’t know how you do it, you are amazing!
I hope that you’re feeling better today. It’s so hard to feel sick and have kids. When the mom goes down so does the whole house!
And life really is good when you have a good man standing beside you.
What a guy! I am a firm believer as well that we momma’s don’t have the luxury to be sick! Somedays I wish I was- NOT! Being the homemaker and cook that you are, do you have an amazing oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe? GET BETTER SOON GIRL!
Loves!
Jen, I use the oatmeal cookie recipe on the box of Quaker Oatmeal…I am guessinf that you could add chocolate chips instead of rasins.
I’m am so sorry that you aren’t feeling well. That is so hard as a mom. I hope you get better quickly.
Hurry up and get better! I think there should be a rule against Mom’s getting sick!
Get better! Good job Dadzoo!
Oh man, sorry to hear you’re sick!
