When Mommy is Sick....

When Mommy is sick....
Daddy has to set up his office at home for a day.

When Mommy is sick....
A little blue-eyed boy peeks his head into Mommy's bedroom throughout the day and says "Mom, okay?"

When Mommy is sick...
Daddy gets a little too excited to get Jayla dressed in her nice & shiny, never worn, pink & white adidas suit.

When Mommy is sick...
A little blue-eyed boy brings her popsicles to eat, each time grabbing one for himself.

When Mommy is sick...
Daddy gets mad at the Pampered Chef can-opener that he has never before used and can't figure out.

When Mommy is sick....
Daddy makes fun of her weird food requests like a bowl of ice cubes, carrot sticks, and tomato soup (c'mon it was the only thing that sounded good!)

When Mommy is sick....
Jayla has to hang with the boys and go to the Ames High basketball game.

When Mommy is sick....
A little blue-eyed boy has the best day ever getting to break all the rules with stay-at-home-daddy.

When Mommy is sick....
Daddy finishes the laundry from the previous day, cooks meals, cleans up the whole house, takes care of the kids all day, and does it all while working and taking care of mommy.

When Mommy is sick...
She gets a day of rest, but not the kind that she would want.

When Mommy is sick....
She misses being a mommy!

(Yes, this mommy got the stomach flu!)
