I’m not sure what’s worse, the dreaded man cold or a tween cold.
My 4th grader rarely gets sick so when she does come down with a cold there tends to be some drama and I end up waiting on her quite a bit. She’s already had her first cold of the season and missed a day of school and now my first grader, Miss A, has been coughing off and on all weekend. I blame most of it on allergies since it’s been unseasonably warm here in Nashville and is now cold and rainy. I want her to feel better for school first thing tomorrow so I’m making sure she gets plenty of rest today.
When you’re feeling under the weather with a cough and cold are you a please give me lots of TLC, wait on me hand and foot sickie or would you rather hide under the covers and sleep it off? I tend to want to be left the heck alone when I’ve come down with the crud, provided I have the remote and plenty of tissue and DVDs. Of course if you want to bring over some homemade chicken noodle soup, I won’t kick you out!
I’m proud to be working with Vicks this winter as part of their Vicks Blogger Brigade and they’ve put together a “Feel Better Friend” kit with Vicks VapoRub, slippers, a candle, a pillow and soup for one BlondeMomBlog.com reader. To enter, simply leave a comment telling me what you’d include in a get well kit for a friend who’s down for the count with a cold. I’ll choose a winner via Random.org from all eligible comments left by midnight Monday, December 5.
Disclosure: I am being compensated for my work with Vicks this winter as a member of the Vicks Blogger Brigade but, as always, the words and stories I share with you are all my own.
When my husband is sick he curls up like a baby and sleeps through it all. Me, I thrive when someone waits on me! He’s got the right idea because my Kiddos don’t know to leave me alone so I can rest!!!
chicken noodle soup and kleenex.
I WOULD INCLUDE A BOX OF TISSUES ,SOUP ,CRACKERS,ORANGE JUICE,VIC’S VAPOR RUB AND PROBALLY SOME VITAMIN C;S(WHICH ARE IMMUNE BOOSTERS)
I would include some flowers to help the healing process. Probably not roses, they send the wrong message, but something like a pick-me-up bouquet with daisies in it.
I think the name, the “Feel Better Friend” kit, is perfect. It’s exactly what I want to say to my wife when I’m taking care of her.
“Feel Better, Friend!” How cool.
