Sniffling. Sneezing. Sinus ache. I'm useless.

I've got the flu-du-jour and my kids don't. I'm happy they're well and hoping this bug doesn't spread, but ...

What's a mother to do when she can barely get off the couch and her wee ones are running amok? I can't get them juice; I need someone to make me tea. I can't get a Band-Aid for their skateboarding scrape; I need somebody to fetch me a thermometer and jumbo size bottle of Extra-Strength Tylenol. Stat!

I'm a mom. I can't sit around moaning and blotting at my chapped nose all day. I've got lunches to make and rugs to vacuum and carpools to drive!

So come on, ladies, help me out: What do you do when you need to get well and quick?

Magical soup? Guilt-free kid-mesmerizing video? Exotic vitamin? Who's got a great remedy for the Mom's-Under-the-Weather Blues?
