It’s just not fair!!! The Mom never gets to be sick all by herself…which she envisions as lying abed wearing a lovely peignoir set, looking a little peaked, reading Madame Bovary in the original French and being served Matzo Ball Soup by her loving, servile family. But instead, she’s the one too small to push her husband away from the toilet and instead vomiting into the sink, wearing sweatpants that have earned their name as the fever has spiked and broken three times, moaning (which sends daggers through her throat) for just a drop of water…anyone.

My heart is breaking for you! I truly believe that anytime I have been sick in the last 13 years, one of my kids has been sick with me (which always trumps MY sickness) and/or my husband has been out of town, returning just as we recover, looking around saying, “The house is a mess! What’s the big deal? You guys look fine!”

Hope y’all are feeling better soon…as for the evil 13 year old child…he’ll be cured of his evil ways in about ten years

You could try my response, “Hey, if you aren’t hooked up to an IV, you are going to school/work!” Works extra good if you have a friend in the hospital who is hooked up to an IV!
