With the holidays here we all have to do lists a mile long and, as all you parents know, we can’t take sick days this time of year. In just the past couple of weeks we moved from Cleveland to Michigan, we loaded and unloaded three huge moving trucks on two different trips between states, we had Thanksgiving, we unpacked moving boxes, we decorated for Christmas, we unpacked moving boxes, we hosted Kora’s birthday, we unpacked moving boxes, we shopped for Christmas gifts, and we unpacked moving boxes. Whew!
The kids and I were down & out awhile back. We cuddled under blankets & wore cozy hats until we were back on our feet.
While it’s been a busy few weeks I know it’s been just as busy for many of you out there as well. With Christmas around the corner, now would be the worst time to suffer from cold symptoms. I love those great commercials from Vicks with the mom or the dad opening the door to the baby’s room and saying, “Hey Amanda, (cough cough) sorry to bother you but I have to take a sick day.” Then big words stamp across the screen saying, “Moms don’t take sick days. Moms take DayQuil.”
While the commercial is humorous, it’s also very true. I remember one particular Thanksgiving when my mom was terribly sick with a bad cold. She still got up early and worked hard to get everything together. We all pitched in to help but she was still in charge and made sure the holiday went on as planned.
I like that when you are fighting that cold during the holidays, DayQuil can help you get through your to-do list.
NyQuil is there to help you get the sleep you need to feel better the next day.
Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil help you enjoy the holidays with family and friends.
I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season and if a cold does catch up with you be sure to check out Vicks DayQuil or NyQuil.
i love their commerical they have one tv so cute, i have wished i could take a sick day some times
Congrats on becoming the Vicks Ambassador! That is so true, mom’s can never take sick days during the holidays. Plus, I always keep a bottle of DayQuil handy just in case :)
Preaching to me right now! I haven’t slept well in two days because breathing has been an issue. Thank goodness for NyQuil!
DayQuils really does work when I am feeling sick! I like that I can get a good nights sleep when taking it. It is so true that Mom’s do not get a sick day when they are parents!
Very true, moms do not get a break for sick days. I hope everyone in your family stays well.
My family recently got sick, and once one gets sick everyone seems to gets sick. We went through a lot of medicine, Nyquil is always my first pick, works like a charm, and a good bowl of soup is always soothing.
Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil is one med we always have on hand. I like those commercials,just not going to happen.
It’s always a bummer when you feel a cold coming on. Always hope to stay as healthy as possible! :)
I’m careful around groups of people, wash hands often, and get plenty of sleep.
I’ve seen the commercials for this on youtube. I think its a cute concept and very true!
Definitely no fun getting sick especially when you have little ones to take care of.
There’s never a good time for a parent to get sick, it’s either a bad time or a worse, worst time.
