I have some of those mom friends that just make it look easy. They are the ones that, even with a household of sickies, have a cute outfit on, every hair is in place and their makeup is done in such a way that they look natural and like they got a full night's sleep. I am NOT that mom.
Today, I knew Daughter was sick as of yesterday and figured I would be greeted by a sick child again this morning. What I was unaware of is that I would wake up with a sore throat that would quickly grow into fever, a hacking cough and a stuffed up nose. Knowing I have to do mommy-duty anyway, Alka-Seltzer Plus, multivitamin and Zicam were all employed as soon as I was awake and downed with coffee.
Son woke up first. After the first diaper change, I knew I was in for two sick kids. I was just overjoyed at the prospect of taking care of two sick kids while sick myself.
I sit here now with Him reading bedtime stories to Daughter upstairs, Son asleep and me...oh I'm quite a sight! I'm still in my PJ's from last night and now they have snot, spit up and vapor rub grease stains on them. My hair is in a half ponytail/half bun thing with strands escaping everywhere. My make up? What make up? This red, glassy eyed, rudolph-nose look has come about naturally.
