Sick Kids= Sick Mommy

First Caleb got a cough, then Joshua got one too. Next thing you know both boys had runny, stuffed noses -go figure that one out- and a slight cough and at times a low grade fever. I on the other hand, was feeling well and good and able to take care of both ailing boys rather well. That is until last night, when they started to feel better and I worse. But alas, there is no one to take care of me, so as the boys' health is improving and they look to me for entertainment I muddle through trying desperately not to use up all my tissues.

My neighbor came by with some dinner, just out of sure luck for me. Caleb has been on good behavior and Joshua loves to sleep, so although it was tough, it looks like I will make it through the day in a scenario I know will repeat itself 100 times over. Pray for me...

Even mommies need a mommy sometime! And, even though I'm not your "official" mommy, I could fill in in a pinch.

BTW, I think you are doing a great job and are persevering just fine!
