When you're a mom, there are no sick days

I am sick. Sick as a dog. Sicker than I have been in 10 years. It's definitely the flu and I feel like CRAP. This morning my head hurt so bad I couldn't open my eyes, tylenol only took the edge off. I barely have the energy to move about. Does this stop my children from making 50K demands of me every other minute? Of course not. After lunch I was laying on the couch and Leila asked why. I told her I was sick and resting. She said "oh, you should run around with me, that will make you feel better" (in this context, run around means pull the cushions off the couch and hop from the couch to the cushions and run around jumping... we do this after lunch to prepare for nap). Oy. Today is day five of my sick, and they have watched WAY too many movies this week. Man, I hope I am better tomorrow!
