Families love to share!

One of the "joys" of being in a family is they love to share things, in particular, colds.  My husband "gave" me his cold from last week.  Oh well, it was predictable.  We do share the same bed

So now, I am coughing, wheezing and blowing my nose about a million times (or so it seems!).  BUT, still the animals need to be feed.  They don't care if you are sick or healthy - they're hungry - so feed me!!  I took care of them before I came back here and put back on my jammies, drugged myself up with the latest whatever from Vicks and climbed back into bed.

It is days like this that I miss my Mom the most.  She knew exactly what to do to make you feel better.  And she always had the coolest hands that she would put on your forehead and it would feel oh-so nice.  She would bring a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup and ALWAYS cinnamon toast!  There was alway cinnamon toast! (unless you were throwing up!).  So today I heated up a can of chicken noodle soup and made cinnamon toast.  Made me think of Mom.  Even though she has been gone some 25 years now, I still miss her terribly.  Anyway, it brought back some good memories (not getting sick is a good memory!! but good memories of a wonderful lady who was my Mom).
