Mom Coming Home » mom sick http://momcominghome.com My Journey from the Corporate World to Working at Home Sat, 18 Jun 2011 03:44:18 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 Moms Never Get Sick http://momcominghome.com/2007/11/15/moms-never-get-sick/ http://momcominghome.com/2007/11/15/moms-never-get-sick/#comments Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:07:01 +0000 Mom http://momcominghome.com/2007/11/15/moms-never-get-sick/ Ummm…ok.  Please explain that to my bronchial lining that threatens me with wheezing if I dare take a breath.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve been working more than usual lately.  I had the conference call frenzy last week.  This week I’ve worked my regular hours plus I’m helping a friend out with her computer network at night.  I guess burning the candle at both ends caught up with me.  I’m coughing, and hacking, and my voice is almost gone.

My almost-17 year old baby came home from work tonight shivering and crying with a 102° temp.  While I wrapped her up in a blanket I immediately remembered why some people say “Moms aren’t allowed to get sick”, it’s because we are moms. 

Sure our bodies suffer from symptoms of illness, but as a mom there is always someone to take care of and we often put their needs before our own.  We just don’t have time to whine.

Secretly I wouldn’t mind a sick day…but I’ll take a few shots of Nyquil, sip on some tea and honey, and take care of my big little girl.
