Sick mommy

Every year around this time I would get my first cold of the season, when I taught. The germs that swirl around a school are endless. I thought maybe I could bypass a cold this fall because of the good crisp weather. Nope. 

Either I picked up what Jax had or my body just decided to get back on that cold routine. When I can sleep through the night and still be tired, I know I'm sick. I just want to curl up, drink some sprite, and blow my nose when I absolutely have to. 

However, this little guy deserves and requires more of my attention than I'm used to giving out when I've been sick in the past. 

Corey has helped out when he can. 

But with his work travel, I'm learning I don't have to schlep in pjs all day and semi-watch movies in and out of NyQuil induced sleep. I can function okay just reminding myself that there is someone who needs me more. 

Jax has done quite well so far. He's slept a lot and allowed me to chill. I'm praying this cold won't turn into something worse like it usually does this time of the year. But if it does I have two great guys to keep me going :) 

Now if only the dogs would cooperate :)
