Well, it’s been a bit. All but one member of my family had Covid. We have evaded it for two and a half years. Three days at work and I caught it. I even isolated myself behind closed doors but still managed to pass it to my husband and two of my kids.
Those of you who are moms get it-being sick as a mom is awful. Just awful. You are trying to get better yourself, but you’ve also got all these little beings to take care of, too. Plus my poor dogs who have spent the last few days just being lazy at home because no one has had any energy to go for a walk!
It’s just not an easy feeling as a mom. Luckily my husband didn’t get the brunt of it-that was saved for me-so he was able to step in and hang with the kids when they weren’t sick.
We have tried our hardest to get over this thing. Our house has a lovely Lysol scent (or I assume it does if I could smell), we have used all the Vicks supplies, and have unfortunately given in to too much screen time so we can afford some rest time.
We’re finally just about out of the woods. I’m so glad we are getting this over now. I know there are more sicknesses to come with the start of school but this felt like a big one to get out of the way.
It’s a precursor to the flu season, a season all moms dread because we know it’s coming. We know with the start of school comes taking sick days and lots of holding babies and laying in kids rooms at night. And as much as I’ve lost it being here sick with Covid taking care of a family who are also sick with Covid, I keep telling myself this is a season. This too shall pass. So enjoy the snuggles now, enjoy the littles wanting you to be by them 24/7…because as much as you want some space, soon enough you’ll be given too much space and will be craving these snuggles again.
