MOTHERHOOD- THE DAYS ARE LONG, BUT THE YEARS ARE SHORT

IT ALL STARTED SUNDAY NIGHT...

It was almost bedtime for the kiddies and Alex started looking lethargic and like he was going to pass out. Then he got sick a few times. I thought maybe it was the heat so, I zoomed around, shut the windows and turned the a.c. on. The next morning he woke up and he was fine. Then, last night after I put him to bed, he was banging on his door minutes later because he had gotten sick.......alot........So, I had to strip him and his bed and put new clothes and new sheets on. Then, around 3am, Nicky woke up crying and he was burning hot.......He wouldn't go back to sleep. I took him in bed with me but he still wasn't falling asleep. So, I stumbled, blurry-eyed, down the stairs and got the tylenol. Nicky hates tylenol. You have to mix it with a small amount of water and give him a straw to drink it. This is no fun at 3am. We went back upstairs and laid in bed. Nicky fell asleep about 20 minutes later, but for some reason I couldn't go back to sleep until around 5am. Then my mom called at 6am........for no reason.........thanks mom! lol. So, I guess our plans to go to Storybook Land and to sleep at mom-mom and pop-pop's have been canceled. Alex seems fine now and Nicky's fever has gone down, but I don't want to drag them around if I don't have to. They need fluids and rest. So........maybe we'll go Monday or Tuesday when daddy has off. Well, Nicky is napping now so I'm going to go drink my best friend......ie- coffee. I should also clean up as much as possible now before he wakes up because he's pretty clingy. So...I'll keep you all update. Sorry- no time for pictures.
I'M SO SICK OF VIRUSES, INFECTIONS, FEVERS, THROWING UP, SNOTTY NOSES, EAR ACHES, SORE THROATS, COUGHING, AND LAUNDRY!!!
