tuesday morning

early tuesday morning, she came into our room...
half coughing, half hiccupping,
half crying as she finally got out, "I'm...sick."
so, I held my hands to her mouth as we rushed to the bathroom. I cleaned her up and made her a "sick bed" like my mom used to make me.
(she's better now...just catching you all up. I told you it just might be a blogathon. looks like I'm finding some mojo...blogging seems to have that effect on me.)

mmmm sick bed. I used to (wait, what do I mean USED to, I still do it) prolong illnesses just so I could get more time in the glorious sick bed. Pillows, blankies, chicken soup, flat soda with a straw, and best of all, mommy's touch at your beck and call...

I will sound like a cruel and heartless parent, but I, in some strange way, enjoyed those sick days when you were like a rag doll in my arms...snuggly, needy, quiet. Not the really sick, miserable days...just those mopey, punky, cozy days when life was interrupted, just because of YOU. It reminded us what mattered.

My mom used to make me a sick bed!!!! She would tuck clean, crisp sheets into the couch so I could watch tv like I was in bed. I got to drink grape slushies (grape juice concentrate, ginger ale and ice blended into a frothy cure).

I agree with your dad I had a post a while back about that same thing. Somer is such a cutie even when she is sick.....my mom used to give me a bell I could ring if I needed anything.....

I love the sick bed and promptly copied it for my own kids after Kelle shared the idea with me...and my kids love it. :)

You're such a good Mommy. xoxo
