Woman Down!

[motheroftinydragons]

Argh. For the first time since I because a mum nearly three years ago I am ill. Got a dreadful cold, cough, just want to sleep all day, am hot and sweaty. Yuck.

I'm a SAHM with a three year old and a baby.

Any tips for survival? It is just a cold nothing serious but wow trying to look after small children while you're ill really is a special kind of hell isnt it

Three year old is currently parked in front of the television and baby is currently napping. Preschool for the three year old tomorrow so will have some respite then at least!

TV is your friend! Honestly, a few days staring at a screen won't hurt them. Simple food like beans on toast, they won't starve or get rickets in a few days. Good luck xx

Thanks! I'm not too worried about the toddler watching lots of TV today. She goes to preschool three mornings a week so she gets lots of good educational stimulation then, so one day in front of the electronic babysitter won't hurt!

Baby is more problematic, she's only 6 months so is not really interested in TV!

Ah I am so nostalgic for the days where I'd have called in sick from work, stayed in a silent empty house on the sofa under a blanket all day!
