...right? At the very least, mommies of toddlers shouldn't be able to get sick. Just mommy-ing takes energy enough! It's well-nigh impossible to keep up with Cassie while my head threatens to explode. Yep, I've got yet another sinus infection. The ear-nose-throat specialist said that I should be having fewer of them, now that I'm on a prescription allergy medicine instead of the OTC stuff. Right now I'm feeling ill-inclined to believe her. One thing is amusing about blowing my nose and sneezing. Every time I make a nose-noise, Cassie looks up and says "Oh my!" I know it's because the noise surprises her, but I like to think it's her version of "God bless you, Mommy."
I have a new appreciation about Army-living because of the hourly care through the CDC (child development center). It's in the same building as a regular day-care center, but is only for care on a limited basis. I (finally) registered Cassie, and I just call, make a reservation, and drop her off when I need child care for a few hours. I came to the realization the other day that this hourly, as needed child care isn't usually available in non-military communities. It's really a luxury to not have to beg or borrow babysitting from my friends every time I need help with child care, yet not have to have her in day-care full time. Yesterday, when all I wanted to do was sleep, I took her in, dropped her off for about 3 1/2 hours, and picked her up after sleeping a bit. It was so much better for her than watching PBS and eating snackies out of a bowl on the coffee table, and better rest for me. With the next post and next child, I'm definitely taking less than 18 months to get registered!

I agree...It is enough of a job to take care of kids and daddies, that mommies should be exempt.
