I remember a commercial where a mom goes to the doctor, he tells her she's sick, she flips through her calendar and says "Not this week" (or something like that). This is exactly how I feel about illnesses. I don't have time for it.
I have time to care for sick children. I don't have time to be sick myself. Fortunately, most of the time, the bug waits to get me until all the girls are healthy again.
We have our schedule down to an exact science. A sick child makes me have to tinker with the schedule. A sick parent throws the whole thing out of whack.
Right now we have a cold working its way through the house. Nothing too traumatic. The girls are home from school today because they're hacking away. I figure today is a good day for all of them to rest and regain their strength so tomorrow they're ready to go back to school. Unfortunately, I woke up sniffling and sneezing, so I figure it's not long before I start feeling the effects of this cold, too. Oh well. We've been germ-free for a few months, so I suppose it's about that time.

Oh, no! Feel better. I'm so fortunate to have daycare on weekdays on the rare occasion that I'm unwell.
My dentist said I needed my wisdom teeth out. I informed him that we'd wait until Lucas was home.
Wisdom teeth? Yuck. Yes, you MUST wait until Lucas is home so you can take time to rest and heal!
Oh no! I feel like moms never have time to be sick. Hope everybody feels better soon.
Ugh, I know how you feel ... get well soon!!!!
P.S. How did St. Patrick's day go?
The girls all seem a little better this afternoon.
As for St. Patrick's Day, I decided not to do anything because I had to work early that morning and didn't want to miss the fun. So I told them the leprechaun was just going to go to their preschool. They were not happy and asked why they didn't have green milk... go figure! Still, they had fun with the St. Patrick's activities at school.
Yea, one more bug before the summer huh? I'm sorry..I hope you guys all get over it quickly!

I couldn't agree more! I always complain to my husband that when the kids get sick, they get a sick day. When he gets sick, he can take a sick day. When I get sick? Too bad! As far as I'm concerned, moms of multiples deserve sick days more than anyone!
I was *just* thinking the same thing today. I know I'm getting sick, but I refuse to let it happen. (Like I have a choice, lol!)
