Day 207.

Sunday, July 26, 2009.

I caught Dylan's cold today. Woke up feeling icky and it progressed throughout the day. Colds suck. You're not sick enough to stay home and lay in bed. But you ARE sick enough to feel like crap and have to act normal while you go about your day. No good.

I am grateful for empathy.

One good thing to come of it though...when I get sick, especially FROM my kids, I am able to empathize with them a little more. Realizing what they were battling helps me understand the whining, the tiredness, and the overall clingyness a little better. Afterall, right now I just want to whine, sleep in my bed and hug my mom.
