No rest for the weary

In my last post I mentioned that Lydia was a little under the weather, well she so kindly shared that sickness with me. Last Friday night I started feeling puny and it progressed into full blown just plain sick. But, hey, it comes with the territory, right? I'm pretty sure it was in my job description when I left work to be a stay at home mommy.

"Mother of the household will be expected to share sick germs and contract same illness as children as well as take care of the sick children and carry on with normal daily duties. She shall obtain the illness in any of the following ways:
1. From the shirt she is wearing that was previously used as a tissue.
2. From sharing silverware with children while eating because it is more efficient not to get an additional set.
3. By kissing children because mother shall not reject any said kisses.
4. From wiping runny noses and not immediately washing her hands because she will remain too busy to do so.
5. From children placing their unwashed fingers into her mouth without notice.
6. Any other way necessary that has not been previously listed.

Mother is also expected not to pass germs to father of children because father shall not contract illnesses--ever."

The plus side? Rare cuddle moments.
