Bad Mommy
Today I am a bad mommy. My son is sick (again). Fever, runny nose, coughing.. same stuff as two weeks ago, only he actually got over that one and this one started yesterday.
This evening, my mother-in-law showed up drunk without calling. She does this sometimes, and it drives me CRAZY. When I realized it was her, I brought Zion in the bedroom with me and made the decision that I wasn't going downstairs. Mike came upstairs and got snotty about it - but honestly, no one should have to put up with that. She's difficult sober. I don't even want to talk about what she's like after a drink or two.
So Zion climbed into bed next to me and drifted off to sleep. He laid there on his side with his eyes closed and his tiny little body wrapped around my big huge body pillow and I LOVED it. That's why I was a bad mommy today. He was so sick, and there's no way he would have stayed still long enough to fall asleep like that if he felt good. I was thankful for that brief moment in time to just lay next to my baby boy and cuddle with him, even though he was sick.

You are far from a BAD mommy! I've seen you with your son and you are a total nut over him! As all GOOD mommies should be! :)
Bad mommy? I don't see it.
I cherish those "feeling icky" moments too - when Bekah is willing to sit (and fall asleep) on my lap. There *is* something secure about that ... so if you're a bad mommy, so am I. [BTW - made me smile to think of you and Zion snoozing together.]
I don't see a bad mommy at all.
I think I missed the bad mommy part too
