Cabin Fever
My kid is on his second day home from school, thanks to a slight fever that renders him banned from school, but still well enough to not be sick. It appears that I dodged the Swine Flu this time….. But nevertheless, he still needed to stay home. I have been sitting with him all day while he does his homework, making sure that he doesn’t sneak outside to play with his friends and give them the flu. We have spent a lot of time together today, just him and me. And there is only one sentiment that can truly describe today……
Life seemed to start when my daughter was born in February of 1998. I was 20 years old and I knew nothing about motherhood. 3 years later and I also became the mom of a son. But when I look back at all that now, I can see that this was only the prologue. Life changes, and mine certainly did when I became a divorced mom with two kids to raise.
