OK, I lied. It's not always so great when the kids are sick. 'Course, as they get older, they're a bit more mature when illness strikes, but still---it does make me tired. No helpers, you know? And yeah, I still enjoy a sympathetic ear from time to time. Now is one of those times.
Two more with sore throats today, so the grand total of sick or recovering children is five (one recovering/four sick). I figure we're more than halfway there.
Just feeling weary, both mentally and physically. Could do with someone fussing over me, because the anxiety (though mild) of watching over these kids is wearing. And sometimes doesn't the parent want mothering as well? I think we all know the answer to that question. A definite resounding *yes*.
