On the mend

We've all been sick here for the past several days, but it looks like we're finally on the mend now. Last night both kids actually slept fairly well, after two nights of both being up most of the night. No one has a fever anymore, and the running noses are slowing to a walk. Yay! I can't wait for cold and flu season to be over.

It's interesting how much being sick changes when you're a parent. Instead of having a mommy to comfort you and make you chicken noodle soup and make sure you get enough to drink, you get to do the comforting and pretend you are feeling fine. You also don't get to sleep all day, which would be handy, since you're up most of the night with the little ones who don't feel well. And yet, you almost don't mind, because even though you don't feel great yourself, you'll do whatever it takes to make your children feel better. Seeing them miserable just breaks your heart.

But you still wish you could get a little more sleep....
