So I write this as my family suffers with yet another illness. It all started around Halloween and since then there has been at least one sick person in our humble abode.
This weeks germ of choice is Streptococcus!
Now, I know that writing this down on "paper" will only burst my Super Mommy bubble that has kept me safe from all the dirty germs in this house, but I find it so amazing that through all the colds, viruses, bacterial infections, I am somehow staying healthy so I can take care of the rest of the family.
I think there is something in a mother's make-up ( and I'm not talking about the stuff we slather on our face to hide the weeks or years of sleep deprivation) that allows us to keep the germs at bay while our family is sick. That's why I think we need to change our name from plain Jane "Mom" and don the title "Super Mom". Now don't get me wrong, Dads. You have your own super powers ( giggle creating, football playing, grill food making, Super Dad!) These are equally important powers but right now Super Dad has the super cold... so he'll resume his heroic efforts momentarily.
However, every mom out there knows the moment everyone feels better and is running around, making a mess of the house, you will notice that all familiar tickle in the back of the throat, the little cough, and as the fatigue sets in the germs take hold of Good Ol', "Super Mom"!
