Sickness everywhere!

March 5, 2008  

I had a very restful Mother’s Day but for all the wrong reasons - I was sick in bed unable to keep any food down and I was starving - I could see my newly bought bar of Galaxy out of the corner of my eye but I knew it’d be a bad idea! The husband had planned a breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast but alas it wasn’t meant to be - I’m sure he wasn’t that bothered actually.

I suggested we’d have to have Mother’s Day again but he said it was a one-off voucher that couldn’t be repeated. I’ll remember it - because now he’s ill in bed.

Doesn’t this always happen when you have kids?

The husband and I were only saying the other day that we were very rarely ill before the beautiful daughter came into our lives - these are tales you don’t get told during antenatal appointments.

As well as your tour of the hospital ward I think you should be informed that you’ll need a well stocked medicine cabinet because your stomach, bowels, throat etc will never be the same again.

Never mind the free nappy samples and detergents you bring home from the hospital ward. Some of us cling onto them more lovingly than the newborn - well, we all love a freeby don’t we! No, forget those these companies should be giving us free sachets of paracetemol and germ repellants.

Oh, but although you’re going to be feeling like rubbish during your illnesses you’ll still need to concentrate on a lively toddler who’ll leave your living room reminiscent of a war zone.

The things we do for love.

Who did we all get this bug from? Yes, the previously mentioned beautiful daughter.

It’s at times like this I wonder who’d have grubby little children who bring germs into our homes and spread around illnesses. The answer - ME, EVERYTIME!

You see, two days on and I’m feeling better and all is forgiven!
