I thought summer was supposed to be when you were healthy, out having fun in the sun and enjoying life. Well not this year for this family! We've all already each had a couple of flus and colds. Last week Ryan got a touch of bronchialitis, which he is finally mostly over. However now Maggie and i both have the same bug which has us coughing and hacking. Daryl i don't think has been 100% healthy at all yet this season and now Charlotte has a tummy bug with fevers, diahrrea and vomiting! So i/we have been up numerous times in the last couple of nights to all three kids. Needless to say i'm so tired! The tv has once again become a good friend to the girls and my small semblance of sanity and poor Ryan has been learning how to entertain himself in his bouncer with his play gym as Mummy is just to tired to entertain. I tried for a nap yesterday afternoon. Daryl went to the movies, i put Maggie to bed, turned on the tv for Charlotte, fed Ryan and put him to bed, was just dozing off when Maggie woke. Thought i'd still attempt the nap even with her up (she has a tendency to climb all over you lying on the couch) and managed 10mins before Ryan woke.
Thought okay i'd try again today. This time fed Ryan first, put him down, then Maggie into bed and tv on for Charlotte. I managed 10mins before i started coughing and hacking. Tried to ignore it to no avail, so got up, had a drink, settled back down and was just dozing off when Ryan awoke. (By now i'm nearly in tears!). Got Ryan up and put him on the boob while i rested my head back and tried to continue to doze. He finished and lay on me quietly, more dozing, but then Maggie awoke. Got her up, cuddled her on me and let Ryan entertain himself in his bouncer and dozed a little more, but then Charlotte's headache started to rear up again and more pamol was required. So now i'm up and whinging on here. I guess i have managed a couple of hours of broken dozing this afternoon, but how do i feel? S.H.I.T.E!
