Remember when being sick as a kid meant staying home from school, laying on the couch, eating crackers, drinking Sprite, watching The Price Is Right, and having someone bring you chicken noodle soup? 😂
Man, those were the days!
Now, being sick means you’re STILL responsible for taking care of everyone else, even when the entire house has the flu. There are no sick days when you’re a mom. The kids still need to be fed, the house still needs to run, and somehow everyone still needs you for something. 🙃
So here we are, stocked up on Vicks, crackers, ginger ale, soup, and anything else we can find to get through this.
If you need me, I’ll be somewhere under a blanket, wondering why adulthood didn’t come with the same sick-day perks we had as kids. 🤧😂
Send help. Or soup. Preferably both.
