SICK

Ben and I are emerging today from two days of fever, snot, and horrible coughs. Today I feel about50% better, which is a HUGE improvement from how I felt yesterday. The hardest part of being sick when you have a child(ren), is that you cannot get the care that you need. Steven has been great, and I don't even want him to use his precious vacation to stay home and take care of us. I used to look forward to being sick, in a way, it is a forced way to really slow down, catch up on sleep, movies, reading, etc. With both Ben and I sick, though, not only was I not being cared for (while Steven is at work), but I have to care for a very needy someone else. The worst part for me was having body aches and having my little person crawling all over me. How do people do this? I called a girlfriend and asked for advice...basically there is no advice. You just have to get through it. I am so thankful that today both of our fevers broke and I can actually function. Life looks much less bleak today. Gotta run after my very busy boy (who turned 21 months yesterday!).
