I feel like such a bad mommy....

I wish i could have a sick day! I feel terrible, i am running a fever, have a migrane, a sore throat and a cough. And DH is working until 7 tonight, and i am afraid to be to close to DS because I dont want to get him sick. Luckily he is pretty happy playing by himself or in his swing. but it makes me feel guilty. Days like today i wish i had family close.

    try some peppermint tea for your fever (caffeine free if your BFing). and euculyptus oil is good to rub on your throat, chesy, and bottom of your feet for the cough and soar throat.

     hope you feel better soon!!!

    Don't feel bad.  I have thyroid disease and crohn's disease.  Some days I can barely pry myself out of bed....much less be very stimulating for my dd :)  I hope you feel better soon.  A little solitary play time is never bad as long as they are happy.

    I know how you feel.  I was running hot and cold flashes the other day.  DH had just left for work and Cathleen woke up.  It seems though that she has a better immune system than me sometimes..

    I had a terrible cold earlier in the week too and just could NOT get up the energy to be entertaining for our little man. He had the cold too so I wasn't worried about getting him sick, but I just was the most boring mom in the world! Some days when I'm super tired if he's woken up 3 or 4 times the night before, I'm the same.. just want to let him play by himself in his crib or play mat or swing. Then I feel guilty like I'm abandoning him or something..but he seems happy enough so I'm sure it's fine! Mommies need a break sometimes too to recoup! Smile
