But today, I am just that. 

I love Allison having her friends over, and they are all such good kids, and they are having such fun. But me… I just want to climb into bed and cry. 

My headache is off the charts. Muscle pain not letting up. 

Having the kids here is not the issue. I love that. It is trying to smile, laugh, and not cry in front of them that is hard. 

I don’t want Allison to be known as the kid with the sick mom. :(
