Just went through a bad cold myself. Nice share!

No, no no – go back to bed. We did enough of that when the children were little. I wish I were your neighbour so I could bring you some soup. Rest!

On this kind of weather winter season it’s nice to have soup often. Take care Christine.

HAHA So very true! How did we do it?

thanks for sharing

I hope you are feeling fully recovered. Your poem rings so true for many women.

Thanks for sharing.

Sure Christine, moms should be careful!

You take care of yourself, your Triond family worries about you.

This sounds very familiar in our household. We go to pieces when my wife gets poorly! Hope you are back to full health now Christine

Yes you bet, moms cant catch a cold.

You deserve a rest! Nice poem Miss Christine!

Oh Christine you do have a wonderful way of bringing memories back that everyone can relate to. I chuckled at this one as it rings so true. Now you can lay in bed at your leisure and recover soon without the kids around lol. Feel better soon Christine.

Nice story. You have been a good mother.

I have been feeling low for a couple of days myself…………………..Please, take care of yourself. Thanks for the poem, Christine.

Your poems simply bring a big grin. Take care.

I can relate to this. Hope you get better soon.

though you not feeling well, but still can write such wonderful poem. Wish you well, take care, Christine.

Try to take care of yourself. Since no one else will take care of you.

I still have little ones at home and there is so much truth in that Christine! LOL!!

I hope you are feeling better now. Please take good care of your health.

You could spread the virus if they give you no rest.The piece is so expressive, I get the bouts but controlled it this year so far.

CR…Such is the special, sacrificial role of motherhood…we do take it forgranted with seldom a word of appreciation or gratitude. You are prompting me to write an article…thanks for your inspiration and hope that you are soon up and feeling better through the collective support of your friends and family both at home and here on Triond as well as having an imaginary bowl of JM’s soup…of course I voted that I like this one…thanks again and take care…

Moms do– but they fight through it dads just fall apart

Let me at ‘em!
They should bring you breakfast in bed. The nerve of them!
Good piece.
Thanks,
Clay

Hope you feel better……and I really liked your poem about such a topic….very enjoyable read as always

Very true. Mothers take care of everyone else and sometimes abandon themselves. Wish you quick recovery.

Wonderful poem… Many mothers and wives share the same sentiments. Take some rest… Mothers deserve to rest…

Get well…:]

Hope you feel better soon Christine. I hope the family is more understanding. Sometimes you just need a day to relax. For me, it is Sunday whether I am sick or not.

Lovely lines you conveyed.

Thank you all for your good wishes. I am fine now and I am sure now that my sons are grown up they would be much more sympathetic. At least I would hope so.

Christine

I almost catch it last week good thing it doesn’t persist.

Take a much needed rest. Your family will be fine.

A lovely poem here Christine

Lol. Your family should cook you dinner
cos when you’re sick, you get thinner
It was nice of you to cook for them
They are lucky they have you – A True Gem.

Wishing you well
Get Better Soon. xx

Christine, do you also remember the days when, as teachers, we struggled off to school because we felt we had to. Just think of all the germs we spread!

lol Great sense of humor!

Take a break and have a good rest Christine. The family have to learn to take care of themselves sometime,:) I hope you get well soon.

Hope your are fine now Christine liked the flow of this,

I hope you’re a lot better now. Mums deserve to be cared for too.

Christine, I remember those days, too. Moms are not supposed to get sick and if they do they must grin and bear it.

So true, so true. Suffering a bit myself this week, but dinner needs to be served. They’re on their own for breakfast.

pity us poor mums.

Ohhh that’s just too bad. I know how it feels to have nasty colds. Rest and lots of fluid are the best….plus that soup from Janette. I hope you are feeling alright now. The family demands a lot from moms….but see, they are not invincible and sometimes, they do get sick.

I loved your poem. I have a cold too because so many people kept coughing around me. I do not usually get sick anymore, but now I feel miserable.

I had to laugh as I read this because it brought back so many memories when my kids were still living at home. Maybe we’re just thought of as being indestructable!

I feel like having colds

Ah Mum. We weren’t that bad. You are funny.

So true! I don’t remember my mom being sick when I was kid, but of course as am now older, I know better but it’s amazing that unless it was something to put them in the hospital, it’s just not important when you’re a kid.

Very true…I did not realize this when I was small and my mother used to work with wheezing, but realized when I became a mother.

Well written

very well written poetry mam,please take care of youself and don’t catch cold

Without mom, the household would fall apart.

I can’t really relate. When I lived with my Dad if my Stepmom ever got sick my Dad would take over the “mom” chores. Then when I was living with my Mom the same thing would happen until they split then we were told to leave Mom alone and fend for ourselves unless we were kids in which case she would make dinner and that was it. Still lovely poem. I hope you are feeling better.
