OK, OK, Donna sort of addressed this point already. But only half of it.

While it's a huge problem when both mother and child are ill, there's a whole different set of problems when mom's sick and the children are fine and as energetic as ever.

I found that out this week when I was trying to get work done, sleeping off a bad cold and dealing with two VERY energetic little boys.

Sure, it's not the biggest problem in the world, by a long shot, but it sure was exhausting.
