So the sickness continues. I’m so very very thankful that we’re not SERIOUSLY sick, but this junk that keeps going around our house is wearing me out. Josiah had a hacking cough on Thursday night, and he slept really badly with his stuffy nose. (Oh, and tooth #4 has broken through on the bottom). So yesterday morning, I just kind of felt like I should have him checked out because although he didn’t look too bad, he was grumpy and not sleeping well for naps, besides the weekend was coming and I didn’t want to hassle with after-hours appointments. So in visit #6 since the New Year, sure enough, Josiah has and ear infection. Poor kiddo. So he’s on antibiotics 2x\/day… which isn’t that big of a deal since he takes them once a day anyway. Analise has been quite a grump lately, but I think she’s over her infection, I hope, I pray, please, oh, please, let it be so…<\/p>\n
Brian’s now down for the count with an intestinal bug. He’s crashed on the couch right now. I feel kind of bad… I was not looking forward to the weekend, because he had plans to bike for 3+ hours this morning with his team, and again tomorrow afternoon. Now he’s in no shape to ride, and I get him home with me. Not exactly how I wanted to spend the day with him! <\/p>\n
This has been a long week. Honestly, normal life takes about all the patience I have, but with grumpy kids in the house and seriously bad sleep this week, I’ve struggled with my own patience and attitude. I think adjusting to Brian’s full-time-plus work schedule again has worn me out. I knew I appreciated him over his break, I just didn’t know how much! Anyway, Analise has been more in the "trying 2’s" than usual this week, probably because she’s been sick. She has been up between 4:30am and 6 for the last 4 days. <\/p>\n
I was really excited to get out of the house for some scrapbooking with ladies from church last night. I got Josiah to sleep, Brian felt like he could handle getting Analise to bed, and I thought I had a couple hours to myself as I left at 7pm. I was giddy with excitement to be on my own. Unfortunately, with Josiah having an ear infection, it wasn’t the night for me to leave. Brian called at 8:40pm, with a wailing Josiah in the background. He couldn’t get Analise to bed, Josiah had been awake since half an hour after I’d left, and he only wanted me. BUMMER. <\/p>\n
Ok, I’ve still got a Saturday evening to be productive. Enough whining from me. Maybe tonight will be a good night’s sleep, and hopefully tomorrow we’ll all be healthy… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
