Sickness has been in our house for almost two weeks now! Caylee was sick, then me (I'm still a little sick), then Ben, then Courtney this week and now back to CAYLEE! Go away! I am so far behind on housework and other things.
We had a rough start to our day. Last night Courtney woke up at 3 am crying. I went in and she said her nose hurt and her head. I gave her more medicine, I also held her and prayed with her. It seemed to work for about 10 min. I spent the next 2 hours going back and forth. I usually and tough on her when she does that, but I had some compassion because she did seem to not feel well. But, this was getting ridiculous. I finally thought I got her to sleep, tip toed back into my room only to find (now 5 am) that Caylee had woken. So instead of going to sleep, I needed to feed Caylee. Just as I finished, I heard more crying thru the monitor. I was beyond frustrated. I turned off the monitor, spoke sternly to Courtney and grabbed my blanket and pillow and slept laid down outside of Courtney's room. I didn't want her chaos waking everyone else. Also, I needed to listen for Caylee and Ben's alarm was soon to go off. After it seemed as though Courtney was asleep, I came back in just in time for the alarm. I then in turn, turned off mine deciding then that I needed to sleep in. I got to sleep til 7 when Caylee woke to eat, soon followed by Courtney.
I was so tired this morning that I was tempted to cancel Courtney's playdate. But fortunately Erica came my way, so I didn't have to rush to get the girls ready. Courtney and Haley got to play finally after missing a few weeks from sicknesses.
After putting both the girls down for naps, I actually got a nap myself. I think slept for about 35 min before waking up to Caylee screaming. I go up to get her and put her in the swing. She was really hot, though. She slept a bit longer in the swing but she just wasn't happy. I took her temp and she was at a 100.3. Great, she is sick again. I can't handle all this sickness. It is getting so annoying. We can't do anything. So she cried and I couldn't get any housework done.
Once Courtney woke up, my friend Karly came and took her to the park. It was really nice to get a break. I finally got Caylee down for a bit and I rushed around like crazy getting stuff done. I can't believe I am still sick too, well maybe I can. I haven't been able to rest.
