When's it Mommy's turn?

I'm pooped!  Jacob is sick and Gracie is needy as always!  Poor Jake has the worst cold he's ever had.  His little eyes are red and teary, he has a nasty cough, and a non-stop runny nose.  He just wants to be held and loved, but Gracie insists she is just as sick and needs the same!  That is, until her little friend, Ariel, gets home from school and suddenly, miraculously, Gracie isn't sick at all!  So between laundry, constantly picking up the house (if I don't it doesn't take long to get out of control), tending to a sick little guy, and obeying my daughter's constant demands, I need a nap!  

There is a positive today!  Since we are house bound, Gracie and I are making sugar cookies to decorate and have had Christmas movies on all day.  So, I have made sure to bring a little of the Christmas spirit into my heart, which seems extra hard this year for some reason!
