\"Mommy's<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I am, cuddled on the couch underneath my heated blanket. Sipping my coffee with a box of tissues placed conveniently within reach. Trying to stave off this head cold that my toddler picked up in the church nursery, and subsequently passed down through the family.<\/p>\n

When a Hot Wheels car hits me in the face.<\/p>\n

Mommy\u2019s don\u2019t get sick days.<\/p>\n

I asked my toddler to bring me the cough drops, and right before he reached me, he dumped them on the floor. (They\u2019re the unwrapped kind.)<\/p>\n

Mommy\u2019s don\u2019t get sick days.<\/p>\n

I asked my son to play quietly. His response? \u201cI DO IT LOUDER!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mommy\u2019s don\u2019t get sick days.<\/p>\n

When all I want to do is sneak in some sleep. My toddler refuses to nap.<\/p>\n

When I try to put on a movie, he screams each line at the top of his lungs.<\/p>\n

He demands a much more complicated lunch than his usual PB&J.<\/p>\n

He decides to pee in his underwear instead of using the potty.<\/p>\n

Mommy\u2019s don\u2019t get sick days.<\/p>\n

All I can do is count down the hours until the weekend. When, I can hopefully sneak in a few extra hours of sleep, before my toddler jumps up and down next to me in the bed, smacks me in the arm, and tells me to \u201cGET UP MOMMY!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mommy\u2019s don\u2019t get sick days.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are some ways you try to get better, when you\u2019ve got a needy toddler?<\/p>\n
