Superior Being or Only Human?!?

As I write this I am currently getting over the ickies that my beautiful children brought home to me from school (aren’t they the best, giving gifts to their Mom?!). I’ve been battling this thing for the better part of a week and a half, just now I’m starting to feel better, and I’m praying it continues!

This school year has been a rough road so far, since this is the boys first year of school and starting Kindergarten is exciting and fun, it also means kids that aren’t normally exposed to tons of people and their germs tend to get every cold and virus under the sun! This is what seems to be happening in my house these days.

First it was Nathaniel & Tara…then it was Lindsay (although she had no fever so continued going to school) then Tiffiany who gave it to me (yay…NOT) then it was Nathaniel again UGH!!! Right now we’re all well (except for me in which I can’t seem to kick this stupid cough) and I’m hoping that we all stay this way (well, I’d like to get rid of the cough).

This however is what really burns my backside…Jim gets NOTHING, no cough, no fever, no sniffles…NOTHING! What is up with that? Why does he get to stay well in a house full of sick people, one of which he sleeps right next to nightly?! Is his immune system really that superior or are ours really that weak? Why does it seem that he can skate through living with all these sick people and come out on the other side with no signs of sickness, while I the one who doesn’t have time to be sick, who even while sick still has to get up and take care of the rest of these people gets the worst case of whatever virus is in the house at the time.

I tell you its TOTALLY UNFAIR!!! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wish sickness on anyone, especially the LOVE OF MY LIFE, but while I don’t wish it on him, I really don’t want it to be me either! Oh I don’t know…maybe just seeing him with a sniffle or two would do me good…maybe then it would be proof he’s not some superior being, but only human like the rest of us!
