Sick Shtick


AML jr has a cold.  Therefore, I have a cold.  It's no fun.  We have been wiped out all weekend, and I don't mean tissues, I mean exhaustion.  Who expects colds in the summer?  Um, no one.  Did you know that according to the Mayo Clinic, babies have up to seven colds in their first year?  Some think this cold may be a sign of teething to come (AML jr, not me, of course)--eeeesh. 

I always wondered how I would handle being sick and taking care of AML jr, and well, we're managing just fine.  But how did my mother manage to care for three children while being sick?  Come to think of it, I don't remember her ever being sick--something tells me she just didn't have sick shtick--she never complained about illnesses, she just went about her day.  Good parenting, good example for me, good to go.

Now to conquer the laundry, work, feeding, changing, errands....and so on.

Love, Mama Stuffy (I mean Lusty)
