Hello, this is Melissa and I will not be coming in to work this morning. I am half dead and the other part of me wants to be taken out side and shot. I will see you tomorrow.
Now, wouldn't it make life so much easier as a Mother if this were possible. Yes, should be your first response, then it is followed by the truth. There are no sick days for Mothers. You just have to suck it up and go to work. There are chores to be done, bills to pay, laundry to be washed and the most important...a sick little one that only wants her mommy. You put your tired, aching, stuffy head wishing you could rest self aside and march on.
This is how our Monday started, both Bryce and I down with colds and me with barely a voice. So we spent the day caring for each other and hanging out in our "jam jams" all day. By the afternoon I was going to die, my eyes were so heavy and I needed a nap. That is so not me, I never stay still not even for a second. The last and only naps in my life where when I was pregnant. But then at the perfect moment, Alan walked in the door and Mommy had a 2 hour nap. Thank you Bubba.
