Sometimes moms make things better

Being home and sick is a lonely combo.  You just lay there in bed feeling sorry for yourself, with nothing to do but watch TV.  With daytime TV as horrible as it is, all you really have to do is lay there and feel sorry for yourself.  

Remember when you were little and your mom would take care of you and make it all better. Granted we had the good cartoons back then, but at least mom was there with the soup and crackers to help in the speedy recovery.  

My mom is/was like that.  I knew that every time I did not feel good, all I had to do was mention it to my mom and she was on her way with soup, ginger ale or whatever it was that would make me feel better.  Yesterday was an odd day.  She sent me a text about something unrelated and I was able to throw in there that I was home sick.  Not a word was said about my being home sick or asking how I was feeling.  My text went ignored for a good several hours until she needed to know something else, unrelated to me being sick. 

I guess I have finally outgrown that stage where my mommy comes to the rescue when I am home and sick in bed.  I did not think we were ever too old for that, but I guess I was wrong.  My kids did not even come and check in on me.
