How lovely though, that you have help! I am fighting a cold right now in the midst of an art reception tonight and getting ready for another next week, AND caring for my two girls. I have no help but my guy called last night and said he was coming down early today, TO HELP ME! Just to entertain the kids is help. (now off to drink more vitamins and eat grapefruit and take zinc…hope you feel better.

N-man calls him Bama-Llama thanks to his current favorite book.

Seriously, nothing sucks more as a single mom than being so sick you have to call someone to come do your job for you. I hate laying in my bed in a delusional fever and hearing my mom having so much fun with N when I can barely move.

I hope you feel better soon.

I guess “Barack Shock” would have been more clever.

Aww hun, just pretend you’re 9 years old again, listening to your parent’s voices throughout the house as you fall asleep. That was always the most comforting memory of mine.

I’m still in Obama shock. Its so wonderful.

I know to some it sounds like you’re “bitching” but I do know how you feel. Its weird when you’ve always been the only grown-up in the house. Sure, its good to have help but its still weird.

My oldest daughter wouldn’t relax for bedtime last night. She kept calling me into her room asking, “How many votes does he have now?” It very exciting isn’t it?

Hope you feel better soon. Yes Vitamin C and echinacea are my best friends too. (though heartbreak tends to weaken my immunity too)

I spent yesterday off sick, but dragged myself into work this morning, since the boss is taking in depth notes on my ‘engagement’ as of late.

Despite it being a sick day for both me and kidlet yesterday, I managed to do a load of laundry (we’re toilet training), empty my car trunk of all our camping gear into our storage space, and keep on top of toilet training…which means trips to the potty every 30-45 minutes.

I was asleep before the kidlet last night. After calling my name for an hour I went into her room, where she asked for “a toy”. I don’t normally indulge in sh!t like that, but I gave her some stacking cups. I fell asleep to the sounds of her playing with them.

I’ll echo other posters to remind you to be so very grateful for the help. I can’t even remember a time when I *was* on my feet.
