How to survive a sick day

I don't know about you, but when I'm sick all I want to do is stay in bed. I want to get a good book, pull up the covers and not move until I am absolutely forced by a full bladder. Of course, being a mom we don't usually have that luxury. But children seem to be another story.
Birdy woke up yesterday with a fever. She was too sick to go any where, but not sick enough to want to stay in bed. So what is a mother to do? Well, here is what I decided that I needed...

Mellow Jams

Let me just say that I love Pandora. I have a station for everything. I have a clean the house station, a nap time station and a hanging out with the hubby and a glass of wine station. So it stands to reason that I would have a sick day station.

 Good Books.

Piles of them!

 Books on tape.

Or CD if you aren't old school. I can't tell you how much I love a good library of books on tape or CD. We have picture books and chapter books. We listen to them at home and in the car. Love love love them.

 Puzzles!

Sensory Tub full of bath toys and foam froggies!

With these tools at hand my day went as easy as a sick day could go. We also included the usual soup and nap time(I didn't get pictures of those) but this was pretty much our day. Not bad. Hopefully ever one is feeling better today and they will be able to entertain themselves with out me because I now have some cleaning up to do.
