Life with sick children. Let's see, a run down of my last 48 hrs............-awakened at 4 am with a feverish Campbell ( which was so pitiful b/c he was apologizing for waking up daddy who had to get up for work soon ) Motrin given, all tucked back in to sleeping bag on our floor.
-get Chloe on bus....she wasn't to thrilled to go to school without her "big bubby"
-change a poopy diaper (this would be Cooper)
-give out more Tylenol
-watch cartoons ( and play some video games )ALL day with my sick child.
-change another poopy diaper
-take naps (best time of the day)
-more Motrin
-Chloe off bus....do homework, read books
-Go pick up a pizza.sick kids = great excuse to not cook! (Campbell crying in back seat b/c his head hurts)
-Yeah! daddy's home
-bedtime for kids
-clean salsa off the wall (yes Oz spilled or threw salsa on the yellow walls-I wish I had a camera for this one)
-run to wal-mart to prepare for another day to stay home
-awaken at 2 am now by Chloe burning with fever
-Motrin given, drink of water, tuck back into bed
-awaken at 2:15 by Campbell burning with fever....Motrin given, drink of water, tuck back in bed
-awaken at 3:30 with 2 sick children unable to fall asleep
-husband awake at 6, shower and off to work
-awaken by sick kids....more Motrin and cartoons started
-change poopy diaper...thankful he is not sick (yet)
-Chloe pucking-thankfully she made it to the toilet
-Tylenol given
-naps started
-wishing it wasn't football season-only today Oz sorry, still love you!
-lots of snuggling, back rubbing, hugs and kisses, noses wiped, words of affirmation
-wondering what my next 48 hrs will hold? I hope I can still go and get my haircut tomorrow night-Oz?
I will admit having sick kids is tiring and draining....but I'm reminded that it is only a season and thankfully they are usually very healthy children. Many moms out there do this 24/7 b/c their children have a life threatening illness. A few tough days this week.....once again I am thankful to have 2 sick little children to love and nurse back to health!
