Suck it up Buttercup!!!

Ok...I try to be to be sympathetic...really I do. But I am the mom of 4 boys...4 boys...sometimes it takes a lot for me to feel for you.
Case in point:

Scout comes in from work this evening. Has a stomach ache and a headache. Complains a LITTLE bit....and goes to bed. Did you catch that? He goes to bed. For 10 days now off and on I have been dealing with kids barfing ALL over my house and van. I have dealt with fevers and headaches. I have also been PMS-ing like no ones business! Not to mention...I have also had the big D and headaches. Do I sleep? No because I am the mom.

The above mentioned is the reason that women do the childbearing. Women are expected to give birth to people who weigh an amount equivalent to a bowling ball and the get up 24 hours later and get on with the program.

So when he comes home not feeling well, I am tired and worn out...I am not exactly sympathetic and the thought that comes to mind is...."SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP!"

A few hours pass....Now he is puking...lovely! He is in the tub trying to get his body to stop hurting...I meanwhile am trying to get 3 boys in bed.
He calls from the bathroom.. "Hey, Sassy!"
I stop doing bed time stuff and go down the hall. "Yes?" I respond and walk in to see what he needs.
"I wouldn't wish this on anyone." He says.
I respond with..."WHAT??!?"
He repeats.."I wouldn't wish this on anyone."
"Okay...ummm, I'm trying to get the boys in bed."

See...suck it up.
