Trapped Rat

My poor baby has been sick all week.  She’s been puking, feverish, coughing, and lethargic.  She’s miserable and it breaks my pebble-sized heart.

Here are some things I do not like about having a sick kid:

• Cleaning up vomit in the middle of the night.
• Cleaning up vomit during the day.
• Cleaning up vomit while the dog tries to snack on it.
• Being quarantined to the house even though I need to run important errands.  Buying acne cream is an example of an important errand.
• Watching the same Disney movie 4 times in a row.
• Being coughed on - in the face.
• Sharing my bed when I'm trying to sleep.

Here are some things I really like about having a sick kid:

• Nothing.

I'm not a weirdo.
