In Sickness and in Health
So, we are all sick in my house. Actually, my husband is no longer sick, but now that he’s well, me and my son are stuck with his bug. This is the first time Squid has been sick since he was born, and I actually don’t think he’s got it as bad as me - just a runny nose, basically. He hasn’t had a fever, so I’m not too worried. Still, we’ve got an appointment in 2 hours to get him a flu shot. Me? Ehh, I’ll stick it out.
Being sick when you’ve got a baby to take care of really sucks. All I want to do is lie on the couch drinking hot soup and tea, but instead I’ve vacuumed the carpet, folded laundry, fed the baby, bathed the baby, played with the baby, made the beds and done the dishes so far this morning. Oh, wait, did I say morning? It isn’t anymore, is it? Shit, I guess I should take a shower now.
Who says I can’t be sick AND look good?

It is the pits to be sick, especially when you can’t just lie around and moan!
