Oh where, oh where has your Brilly-Brill gone?
Sometimes, motherhood gets in the way of blogging.
I KNOW! Where are my priorities?
Fuzzles has been sick all week. There has been very little sleep around here, thanks to his sickies. I’m so used to running on very little sleep and I thought I was numb to exhaustion now. But this? It nearly pushed me over the edge.
So, after I was already on the verge of total collapse, Scooby screamed all day yesterday, and all night last night. I am not exaggerating here. ALL NIGHT. This morning I took him to the doc and we learned that his eardrum. had. exploded. The doc kept saying to me, “I cannot overstate the pain he is in right now.” Ooooooh, my poor baby!
He’ll be fine soon. Tonight his fever is nearly at 104 (40 C) and he’s not exactly happy, but he’s not screaming his brains out. And he’s on quite the prescription regimen–part of which requires him to sit completely still for 15 minutes twice a day. HAHAHAHAHA! Have you ever MET a two year old? THEY DO NOT SIT STILL! So, yeah. That’s fun.
Hubby and I are total zombies right now. He took the midnight to three a.m. shift last night, and then I took the 3-6 shift. And he stayed home from work so that thing wouldn’t be quite so crazy for me– I could run all the kids to all their various locations (preschool, kindergarten, doc. appts, etc.) without having to take everyone with me every time, letting the babies take their full naps, etc. THEN he arranged for ME to take a delicious nap this afternoon, even though he too is running on almost no sleep. And then? He. made. dinner. He’s really too good to me. I think I would have DIED today without him. He’s going away on business next week for the whole week, so I think he’s trying to give me as much of a break now, since chances of my keeping any semblance of sanity next week are… um… nil.
Anyway, thanks to all of you who’ve been wondering where I’ve been and emailing me and IMing me to make sure I’m still alive. As it turns out, I am. I think. There are 603 UNREAD posts in my google reader right now. Those are just the ones I haven’t read. Then there’s a massive list of ones that I HAVE read, but never commented on. I seriously don’t know why any of you continue to tolerate me. Some of you… well… don’t. And I don’t blame you!
I’m sitting here typing, wondering if any of this is coherent…
Stay tuned for Soap Opera Sunday this weekend. We’re likely to have a lot of new people on board!!!
Love you all! Cross your fingers (or “hold fists”, as my Dear Jenn would say) that the babies sleep tonight, and that their parents do too.
