Just because the Momadonnas get sick from time to time doesn’t mean we stop having fun! We moms can make the most of any situation. Take the common cold…yes please take it, I’ve had enough!* This week Punk and LL Heather both had a bad cold but it didn’t stop them! They had a good time comparing symptoms and deciding which doctor’s office to go to. But that’s not all oh no! We moms are experts at being sick. We now have fun with each of our symptoms:
1.) Husky Voice or Laryngitis -Just because we’re sick and can’t speak that doesn’t mean we don’t communicate with the other moms. We think we are what the Minions call “tech savvy” aka we don’t need to ask a Minion to set the time on the VCR for us - Oh Crap! I shouldn’t have said that because it dates us and I’m not sure the Minions even know what a VCR is! I should have said the clock on the blue ray player. Oh well! I have further justification that we are tech savvy: we all have cell phones and we actually text each other.** So even when we are sick we are still in communication with the other moms! However, if we find our fingers aching we may still call each other and make fun of what Punk calls our sexy voices. A sexy voice sounds something like a chain smoker; deep, growly and very manly –yep it’s a great voice.
2.) Exhausted -Just because we can’t stay awake for more than four hours doesn’t mean we won’t make the most of those hours our eyes are open and just because we can’t walk up stairs without getting short of breath doesn’t mean we don’t count those 10 steps as our exercise for the day. Sometimes we can be very active while sick. We may choose to move into a whole new room for our next nap. Yes we are busy, tired girls!
3.) Aching bones –Specifically the Funny Bone. Just because we’re sick it doesn’t mean we lose our sense of humor. Although all the medication does mess with it a bit…. If someone sick thinks they made a joke we all kindly smile, even if that joke doesn’t exactly make sense. Besides as moms we expect you to all read our minds anyway. It’s a mom thing or maybe a girl thing either way its our progative.
4.) Can’t take care of yourself – Just because we’re sick it doesn’t mean we can’t take care of ourselves but as Momadonnas don’t need to. That’s because we Momadonnas take care of each other! When I was sick last, within a 24 hour period, I had offers from the moms for: medicine, drinks, food, daycare, a chauffer and yes a play date with another sick mom at the InstaCare! The moms are the best! They are always there for you and they all know what you have been going through. This is because they were sick with it last week or will probably have it next week- we blame it on the Minions. They may not be that good at sharing their toys but when it comes to germs they love to share!***
* Yes this is a bad Rodney Dangerfield joke but at least we admit it….
** Anyone can make a call with a cell phone but if you text you are truly modern.
*** And you can’t complain, I mean at least they are sharing, and this time without you having to yell at them first!
