There is pretty much nothing less fun than being sick. Scratch that. Being a mother of three and being sick is definitely not fun. I hate being sick. I absolutely hate it.

As the mother of three children, I rarely get a break. Not even when I am sick and need it most.

So what I do need when I am sick is good medicine. I need medicine that works and does exactly what it says.

My ideal sick day is one where I curl up in bed with my NOOK reader, a box of tissues, a cup of hot tea and my remote control. I alternate between reading and catching on DIY shows while blowing my nose and lamenting about all of the things I am missing out on by being in bed.

My reality sick day is that I take Dayquil, carry around Puffs tissues and hope for the best. I might end the day with some Nyquil.
