Back to school season

 Back to school season

A beautiful time when kids learn new things
Make new friends
And bring home every single germ known to man

They went back for two days
Two
And suddenly I’m sick
Eyes watering
Throat on fire
Running on tea, tissues, and hope

Meanwhile my kid is fine
Magically healed
Running around the house with the energy of five Red Bulls
As I sit on the couch questioning my will to live

They bring home homework, fundraisers, and some mystery virus with a 7-day recovery period
For me
Not them
They bounce back in 24 hours
I look like I’ve been hit by a school bus

Back to school
Back to sickness
Back to moms catching whatever that “slight cough” was

Godspeed to all the parents out there
We’re not okay
And we’re definitely out of cough drops
