Going Left Instead of Right

Sometimes, in our life, we feel as though everything is going right. We are heading in the right direction and we get into a routine. Most married women's routine may have something to do with laundry, cooking, picking up the house, and all the chores. The severity of these things can vary depending on culture.

Then motherhood happens. Motherhood causes us to change our routine. Just as my life was heading in the right direction my entire household gets sick, including my animals. Now let me tell you, I have come to realize (excluding pets) there are FOUR people in my immediate family. If you know me well you are thinking.. "Four?????". Yes, that's right, FOUR. My wonderful and sexy husband, my wonderful, healthy and very smart toddler, myself and the common cold. Yes, I count the common cold as a family member. He just wont go away. Lately, he has taken up the guest bedroom in my house- and he doesn't even pay rent. SHEEESH.

That pretty much sums up motherhood right there. Forget about laundry, the cooking, the picking up, and the chores. Besides, I don't have time anyway- I have to take care of my baby. I have to put cool wash rags on his forehead and keep giving him fluids (thank you Green Machine, you are AWESOME), hug and cuddle him, and feel so extremely bad that I can not snap my fingers and take the illness myself, which I would do a thousand times over if I could. Wait, it appears I am sick one now and he is all better- maybe it worked :-)

But the utter clarity that at any given moment, you'd remove any harmful microbe from their body and inject it into yours... that's when you know your a mama!
