I don't have time to be sick!

I find it interesting that every year my son gets sick and my husband gets sick but I rarely even get the sniffles. I can't remember the last time I was really sick. My son gets sick because he is in school and the kids just keep passing the germs around. My husband on the other hand just hears that someone might be feeling sick and the next thing we know he has what they were talking about. I can still hug and kiss them, drink from the same glass, get breathed on by them and I remain as healthy as can be. I think it has to do with the fact that I am simply too busy to be sick. I also tell myself I feel great, even when I am not quite so great. I truly believe it is mind over matter. My husband is continually amazed that I manage to swim in germs and come out unscathed while someone can say the word "sick" and he comes down with something. It must be another one of my special mom skills. It goes along with being able to do about 5 things at once, know where every single thing has been left when it can't be found and being able to function on 4 hours of sleep. Well, someone is coughing and someone else is moaning so I guess that is my cue to administer the dosages, drug them into sleep and prepare for battle tomorrow.
