Who Takes Care of A Sick Mom?

Description

 When moms get sick, who takes care of HER? Being a mom of FIVE boys, I am the one taking care of everyone when they need it. I recently traveled to Philadelphia for a conference for authors, speakers, and entrepreneurs and a woman sitting next to me on the plane had a terrible cold. While I felt bad for her, I sat there praying that my immune system would be able to fight off whatever she was hacking into the air. Then, on the shuttle from the airport to my hotel, a different woman was gagging

Who Takes Care of A Sick Mom? Hi there, its Tracy Degraff and today I have a terrible cold. But I was scheduled to this taping for the show and so I definitely wanted to say hello to all of the moms out there that are following my show here on the women’s information network, www.thewinonline.com. And I decided that today, we would talk about how to make sure that you take care of you, mom because it’s hard being a mom. When you get sick because there's nobody to care of mom, there's no mom for mom. It’s kind of like its God decided to take a sick day. Who’s going to take over right? So as I was preparing to speak with you today, I had made a giant pot of chicken noodles soup homemade soup. And I've been drinking tea with honey and lemon and doing all the needed things that you do when you take care of somebody whose got a cold. I even put on this comfy robe that my sister gave me from my birthday and I grabbed this comfy askcan.com. My aunt made for me and my stock of tissues and so I’m sitting here getting all cozy and relax ready to take a nap and rest. I thought to myself, you know what, I should do this more often. I'm actually enjoying being sick because I'm not running around all over town doing things. I'm just quiet and taking care of myself, so that’s what I want to do is to encourage all of you moms out there to just take care of you. Just get out there and take care of you. And I want to introduce you to one of my little caregivers here. This is Kay that will be helping me today with the camera. And he just wanted to say hi. This was my youngest boy. Can you say hi, Kay? He’s my sweetheart helping mom today. So that’s it for us today. All you moms take care of yourself whether you’re under the weather or just a normal ordinary day, just take some time-out for you. Bye.
