ugh

It has not been an easy week. Laci started getting sick last Saturday, then Mia on Sunday. Stuffy noses, runny noses, coughing, sore throats, achy bodies. No fun. Then Mia started running a fever on Wednesday, which I attributed to the shot she got the week before.  That lasted a couple days. And today Mia has a rash all over her body, so Roseola? Who knows. What I do know is that I'm done with sickness. Did you hear me, Sickness? Time to move on. I'm done with wiping noses and giving medicine to children who gag and occasionally throw up, and I'm completely done with playing nurse all night long. Done.

Oh, and also I just feel so bad for my little girl because she still sounds congested and her nose is raw and red and she says, "Mo Mo Mo" anytime I get near her with a medicine dropper.  For the record, "Mo" is "No" these days for Mia.

This is how you play when you don't feel good.

I did not get sick, because I'm the mom. And what am I gonna do? Take a sick day? Ha! But IF I were sick, I would have had sinus pressure, a stuffy nose, sore muscles, an annoying cough, and what feels like daggers in my throat. You know, IF I were sick. Which I'm not.

 

Sick or not, we tried to have some fun. Or at least that's what it looks like going through this week's pictures.

Not all pictures are of fun. Some pictures are of crying about not getting another piece candy, or something equally catastrophic. I can't remember the real reason she was hysterical.  But, she recovers quickly.

This is what snack time looks like when you're sick and don't really want to eat that Fig Newton, so you smash it in a million pieces.

I'm sincerely hoping this week takes a upward swing soon.
