I'm Pretty Sure It's 4am in Hell All theTime
I don't know how much longer I can get up at 4am and take care of kids all day while having a head cold. I'm reaching my breaking point, but it doesn't matter. I have to do it anyhow. And it's not like I sleep all night and get up at 4, though the other night I was congratulating myself for sleeping from 11:30 to 1:30 then 2 to 4:30. The week of colds from hell never ends, with Abbey waking at 430am with nasty hives the last two mornings and Adams very first ear infection. Poor Ellie has a nasty cough. A lot of sleep has been in a few minutes here or there as I drift off with a sick kid. It's worse than not falling asleep. They a-team is doing better and I'm doing worse. My teeth hurt. It's hard to take care of so many when I feel so wiped. This is the hardest part of being a mom... Being sick and not even able to slow down.

I was thinking about this, how do you take care of the kid(s) when you are sick and exhausted yourself. I hope you all feel better. This is such a tough time of the year. Sending good wishes for a quick improvement. And for spring to get here fast. - Elizabeth
