Seriously. Husband and I are still sick, although due to massive quantities of Dayquil, we are functioning somewhat. We’ve been taking turns sleeping all day. I’m very rarely a non-functioning sick person, but today I am. Ugh.
I honestly think this is one of the hardest times to be a parent – when I’m sick. I just want to sleep. I’m so tired. I feel like crap. I look like crap. But, my kids need food. And they feel fine and have their usual tons of energy. They need attention. And baths. And want to go play outside. And when did they get so frickin’ loud? And, naturally, when we’re sick, they feel compelled to be near us constantly. And by near, I mean in my lap. Or in the bed. (Little Sis is in my lap right now, in fact.)
I just want to curl up under the covers, stay in bed all day and sleep, read and drink tea. Its so hard to have to get up and take care of other people. This is one of those days I longingly remember those days before kids, when I only had to take care of me. Okay. Enough whining. Sleep will help.
p.s.
Husband is in the ER with his dad, who just sliced through his finger with a circular saw this afternoon. Exciting weekend in our house, no?
