Mommy Has a Cold

My head is so hot,
My feet are so cold.
My whole body aches,
I feel 300 years old.

My throat, how it hurts.
My voice sounds like a frog,
but then, in the distance, as though in a fog,
I hear three small voices, three cats, and one dog.

Mommy she hit me!
Mommy she bit me!
Mommy, please, Mommy
please Mommy, come quickly

Mommy, I need you!
Mommy, what shall I do?
My hair needs some brushing,
and I've lost my new shoe!
Mommy, oh Mommy,
please wipe my butt, too!

The beds all need making,
the house is a mess.
There's dusting and vacuuming
and all of the rest.

So I sniffle and snuffle,
I moan and I cough.
Do I whine and complain?
Oh, no, I do not!

This household, it needs me,
there's just no other way.
So I drink some green tea
and get on with my day.
Suck it up is my motto,
and that's all that I'll say.

  2. How are the sea monkeys doing? Kaitlyn added the eggs today and told me that there isn't any sea monkeys there, only bubbles and sand.

  3. I think they might be dead. I can't see any moving anymore. Not sure why. I had some before Sammy was born and they did just fine. Not giving up hope yet.
