Home Bound

I've been sick for a week. I've had a cold for an entire week! Not just the lingering runny nose and cough thing.... but full out head throbbing, watery eyes, sore throat, stuffy nose, can't breath (or taste for that matter), non stop coughing sick... for a week! I haven't gone ANYWHERE this week (including Target!!), and if I worked outside the home I would have had to call out sick for the week cause NO ONE would want to be around me right now. But... my work is being a mommy and as much as I'd like to, I can't call out sick from this job. I've been picking up toys, cleaning up food messes, doing laundry, reading books (in between coughing fits) singing songs (with voice that is horse) changing diapers (always being surprised to find poop cause I can't smell it), leaving kids in poopy diapers cause I can't smell em, giving baths, getting kids dressed, digging outside, building towers, coloring, playing with play dough, AND getting up several (SEVERAL) times in the night with a baby who is having a rough week as well... when all I really want to do is crawl into bed and sleep, and sleep, and sleep. Mom's (of new babies at least) don't get to sleep... they don't get breaks (I guess this is what "they" mean when "they" talk about the sacrifice of motherhood...). Thankfully, this can't last forever... and I'm praying that Jack doesn't get this (or Jared for that matter). In the meantime... here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure... This was us at 7 o'clock last night. Kate waking from a nap, Jack bathing, and me showing off my red nose. Jared is missing because he was missing (still at work...). The End for now.
