Sick mum guilt...

I'm poorly with a bad flu - muscle aches, fever, cough, snotty nose, migraine, the works. Also single mum with 6 year old gorgeous son - I actually think I've picked this up off him as he wasn't well last week. Anyway, my parents are away this weekend so can't send him to them to have a fun weekend.

So instead it's a Saturday and he's under a duvet with me on the sofa, were eating noodles and watching tv. I feel so guilty being poorly and not being able to do something fun with him. Getting up makes me feel wobbly.

He's so good, and actually keeps saying he's looking after me - not that he should ever have to! But he's acting like a doctor etc and seems happy.

But I feel so guilty! The (single) mum guilt is real!
