OK I will admit it. Before I had Marley I kind of thought all sick kids were pretty gross. They have snotty faces and they cough without covering their mouth, it's all kind of yucky to me. In eyeing up the snotty kid, however, I never thought to look at his/her mother (or father). Probably because I was too busy making sure that their coughs were not coming my way and wondering how all that snot could come out of one very small nose. If their parents look anything like I've looked like in the last week or so though this is what I'm sure I would have seen:
-Bags under their eyes
-A possible mis matched sock or shoe either out of sheer exhaustion or any mental capability to know better.
-A desperate look in their eyes that says 'I would do ANYTHING for a nap or a full nights sleep'
-Along with that desperate looks comes a little bit of anger as if to say 'Why the Hell would anyone do this ever?'
-If they are a women, hair in the ponytail as you cannot blow dry/straighten your hair when snot is coming out of your childs nose at warp speeds.
-Kleenex coming out of every pocket.
And of course, some sort of limp. Because after getting up for the 15th time in the middle of the night it is only appropriate that you stub your toe on something.
I have not posted in awhile because we have had the icky sickies and well ... I look like the person listed above. Enough said.
