The Perfect Day

You know the perfect amount of sick where you have to stay in bed or you get light headed but you're not so sick that you can't read a book or play games in bed with your kids? Washing dishes is a no but eating ice cream is a definite yes. That's the exact kind of sickness you have to love. Of course you're laying in bed thinking about all the things you need to get done but once you're feeling better you wonder why you didn't just enjoy the Perfect Cold while you had it.

What is even more perfect is when you stagger out of bed (after sleeping in) to see what the girls are doing and you find your 7 year old cooking eggs for your two year old. At that point you know you are in good hands so you spend the rest of the morning in the bathtub while they watch a movie.

Then later when your 7 year old comes in to check on you and you ask her where her sister is and she says she just put her down for a nap, you start thinking that you will get sick more often. But not just any kind of sick. The Perfect Cold kind of sick.

You know you had a perfect day when you wake up the next morning and find this on your door.
It's the kind of suprise that makes your remember why you had kids. Not that you ever forgot, oh no. It's just that sometimes it's good to be reminded.
