"....take better care of me!"
I have been dealing with a sick child for nearly a week now. Apparently this horrible virus is going around (I even have friends who kids have suffered from this virus and they live throughout the states....it reminds me of the movie Contagion), and somehow Desi picked it up. Classes started last week and I spend my Tuesdays and Thursdays away from home all day, so I had to leave her home yesterday. While I was gone she told my niece, and I quote, "My Momma need to take better care of me!". Let's just note that she is four, and four year old's don't hold back, they say whatever is on their mind. Okay, let's add the fact that she is a mini diva and has lots of attitude, so I can only imagine her tone of voice when she said it. I felt bad for having to leave her all day, but classes just started, I had to work, and I knew she was taken care of.
I am hoping that she'll be on the mend by the end of the week so she can get back to school. Not to mention that she'll be her normal self and up to her crazy antics again.
Hopefully this virus doesn't spread beyond what it already has!
Stay healthy! And follow my blog, I finally figured out how to put the "Join this Site" button!
Love.

You know, there have maybe been...30 years in all of human history that (well off upper middle class) mothers were allowed to stay home with ease and take great care of their sick kids. Before that they were farming or scrubbing or scullery maiding. After that they had jobs and school so they could better themselves. And some how...wonderful children keep getting produced. You're teaching her not to feel too sorry for herself and to keep marching even when it's tough. You're awesome.
