After staying home with a sick Peanut Thursday and Friday, I have been sick since Saturday. As usual, we like to share everything, so he gave me my first case of Pink Eye. In addition, I seem to have picked up some other nasty thing that turned into a sinus infection and has been keeping me down. I hope that I can keep this one to myself and not share it with any of my family members.
Of course it would stand to reason, that Monday I had a meeting with a VIP from Disney. I tossed and turned Sunday night trying to decide if it would be more rude not to show up, or to show up with my sniffly, coughing, voice-less self. I finally decided that a first impression of someone as ‘sick’ is still better than wondering why someone did not show up at all. I medicated myself with anything handy, tried to look as presentable as I could, and apologized for my lack of voice – promising to sit as far from them as possible. The meeting went fine. But apparently those 2 hours knocked me out, and I have been a mess the rest of the week. I did something that I have mixed feelings about – I let Rob take Brendan to daycare so that I could rest and get better. I didn’t feel like I had a choice, and I wondered many times what Mom’s of more than one do when they are down with a bug and have to suck it up and take care of their family. I guess that’s just it… you suck it up and do it. And it probably isn’t that bad. In the same way that even when Brendan woke me up at 3:00 in the morning on Monday night asking for his bottle, I didn’t have any problem at all snuggling with him while he drank it. Either way, I realized how very long the day is when I can’t see him. I was reminded again that if we were not so fortunate as to have daycare just down the hall, I don’t think I could leave him. Two full days of that was hard enough.
Today I went in for a half day. Brendan didn’t want me to drop him off. I got lots of extra hugs – not only from him, but from Harper as well. As I was getting his coat on for him to go outside, he got very agitated and started saying, ‘NO! MOMMYS!’ over and over. I thought maybe he didn’t want Harper giving me another hug, but as I turned around, I saw that another one of the kids was starting to get into my bag that was up on a table. He was telling them NO – it belonged to his Mommy! The first time my son stood up for his Mommy. Heart melting. Finally I got off to work, did my thing, and was ready to go home and rest. Daddy was working there today too, so he was going to bring Brendan home. And even though I knew it was probably nap time, I had to go check on my little man.

I walked in to the whole room asleep. I laid down on the floor next to Brendan’s cot, and put my arm around him. After a few minutes, he opened one eye and saw that it was me. I whispered to him, ‘do you want to come cuddle with Mommy?’ and he grabbed his blanket and got himself right up and into my arms. And there we sat for another 20 minutes. It was more healing than a nap for Mommy, I’m sure. And when everyone got up, he wanted me to be the one to change his diaper, then he wanted me to stay and play, and finally to have snack with him. The nice thing was that nobody cared whether I was down there for a full hour, because I wasn’t even supposed to be at work today. So I stayed. And I loved it. I even heard a story of Harper falling down and crying, and asking for a hug from ‘Baboo’ who happily came over to hug. (‘HUG’, by the way, is one of his new words – maybe my favorite word yet.)
And now my family is due home any time, so I’m going to go lie on the couch and let Daddy think that I was napping all afternoon. Shhhh….. don’t tell.
