Being SICK while being a mom...

OK, I've concluded that being sick while being a mom is really the craps....life doesn't stop when your sick...and there's no one to take care of you!!! It's times like these when I really miss living at home with my own mom!!! As much as I hate having sick kids, it's way easier to take care of them. It's so much harder trying to take care of them when I am the one who's sick, especially with something like the stomach flu. I'm surprised I even got Rebekkah's hair in a pony tail yesterday so she could go to school!!! When I came down with the stomach flu on Wednesday, I sent the girls out to play in the backyard and stuck Walker in his bed to go to sleep. I had a fever and was freezing and my head was killing me...I just couldn't function. I went to bed and hoped the girls wouldn't get into too much trouble with NO supervision!!! Nathan came home and had to take care of everything while I was in bed. I felt so bad especially since he had to leave for work at 330 in the morning...ohhhh the guilt I felt as I layed in that bed!!!! But there was absolutely nothing I could do about it!!! So, I am greatful to be feeling better....definitely NOT 100%, but better. I do have to say though, my kids were so great while I was sick. They kept asking me if I needed a drink, or if I needed this or that. Rebekkah would make Walker's bottle AND feed him even. They gave me lots of hugs and kisses and were very sweet. Moms don't have TIME to be sick!!! It just doesn't work for me!! :)
