Not The Best Week Ever...

This week has consisted of...

  • Matt still on ER rotation which translates to departure at 4:30am and return home after 6:00pm. (saying that in hopes you all will appreciate his schedule as well as my single mommyhood since the boys are in bed around 7:45pm)
  • Dane vomits on Mommy at 2:00am Monday night after Blake got up at midnight for no apparent reason. Dane sleeping in bed with Mommy = no sleep for Mommy. Dane's fever begins. *Matt sleeps in a different room since his day begins at 4:00am.
  • Take Blake to school Tuesday morning only to turn around and pick him up at 9:00am with a fever. (Thanks to my wonderful husband for making me go to Mom's Night Out this night)
  • Blake begins vomiting Wednesday around 1:00am. Sleeps with Mommy = no sleep for Mommy, and wakes up at 3:30am with more GI surprises.
  • Blake & Dane both home from school Wednesday with high fevers, moaning and groaning. Both requesting to be held and pinning me to the couch for long periods of time. Dane's fever hits 103 degrees and full body rash appears at 6:00pm.
  • No surprises Wednesday night and Mommy gets a full night of sleep :)
  • Blake awakens today with no fever. Dane awakens with 101 fever and full body rash. Take Blake to school with fingers crossed. Take Dane to the pediatrician with diagnosis of Roseola.
  • At the present time...Mommy has not showered since Tuesday morning, the house is a complete disaster other than sanitized bedding and clothing, I did not work one minute this week which means I did not earn one penny this week, and we have no food in the pantry or refrigerator (which is okay because no one is eating).
  • In the near future...Mommy is looking forward to a Friday of catching up and the weekend. But, wait, Matt is on call this weekend. Maybe I should be looking forward to NEXT weekend.

UGH!! I wish I were in town I'd do a grocery run for you! It WAS good to see you on Tuesday and I hope things turn around soon. We'll be back Monday if you need anything.

I am so sorry Beth! Sick kids are the worst! Even worse when your husband can't be there to help.Hang in there!
