I’m sick. My nose is all stuffy, yet runny at the same time. I have so much pressure in my head. My throat is filled with gunk. It hurts to breathe in my irritated nose. Colds in the summer just do not make sense to me!

Last week everyone else in the household was sick, except me and the Grandpa. Savannah, Mark and Grandma (since we live with my in-laws for now) were the sniffing ones . I thought I wouldn’t get it. I thought, since I went through last week and into this week feeling fine, I was in the clear. Nope.

Apparently God spaced it out so that I could take care of my sick babies (ya know, the husband and the 6 month old. Which one was more pitiful? Hint: Not the baby!) and not feel like poo myself. Well, now that they are all better, it’s their turn to take care of me. Oh wait, it doesn’t work like that!

I stuck it out through my 12 hour, yes TWELVE hour, school day yesterday. I stuck it out when Savannah got up at 5am wanting to play, and again at 7am.

That’s just what we do. Mommy hood makes you tough.
