Musings by Melissa

Alicia is under the weather.  We’ve all been healthy all winter so far, but a couple days ago I baked chocolate chip cookies, and I knew something was amiss when she said she didn’t want one!  That’s definitely not like my daughter.  She’s been running a fever – 100.5.  She’s tired.  She’s not interested in food.  And her eyes don’t have that sparkle that they normally have. 

It’s no secret that I love my kids, and I hate it when they’re sick.  Although I do love the extra time snuggling and making them comfortable.  I guess that’s one of the perks of being a mom.  At least until I come down with it, and find myself up too many nights in a row, unable to sleep, with bags under my eyes, and reaching for the wrinkle eye creams!  Ah, but it will still be worth it.

Alicia, honey, I hope you’re feeling better in the morning.  I love you!
