Achoo!

Is that how you spell it … achoo?  Close enough I guess

Oh crap, it’s cold season already?  We’ve been relatively disease free for a number of months.  But the last week or two has been different.  A cough here, a sneeze there.  Today it’s all of the above and more.  No longer is the boogie sucker an option with E.  Now we have to figure out how to get her to blow her nose but I haven’t had much luck.  Most of the time a portion of the tissue ends up in her mouth and we spend more time removing the pieces than actually getting the gunk out of her nose.

And C has a runny nose too.  I suppose it’s silly to think one might get sick while the other stays healthy.  Especially these days when just about everything ends up in C’s mouth.  And E is right there to take the toy away.  It’s impossible to keep everything clean so it’s inevitable that they’ll both catch what the other one has.

I just thought I might have another month or two.

A looonnnnnggg day

I couldn’t fall asleep last night, so I was up til maybe 2a.  So the 1a wakeup call by E didn’t really phase me.  I was finally getting some needed sleep when my 6a wakeup call by C came around.  I can’t tell you the last time I set my alarm … actually I can, it was 4 months ago today.

Maybe that’s the reason for my struggles today.  That thing that happened 4 months ago today.  I’ll hold back on the 4-letter words for now but plenty of them are running through my head right now.

Today was incredibly long. 

I tried to get ready for the first bears home game tomorrow.  An event I’m not looking forward to.  I almost skipped it.  But I thinking instead I’ll just skip the rest unless friends convince me otherwise.  My mom was over for soccer this morning and stayed til about 3.  It helped having her here.  Around noon I took C to the store with me to get stuff for tailgating.  Good thing it was only him b’cuz he started crying half way through the store and if E was there I probably would have freaked out and left the cart where it was.

It was such a long day that I started writing this Saturday and only had time to pick up on it today … 3.54 am on Tuesday.  Yes, another early morning wake up.  E isn’t feeling well.  The dr said there wasn’t anything she could give when we visited last Thurs for C but maybe it’s time to go back again.  It doesn’t seem like she’s super sick, but sick enough to be waking her in the middle of the night.  She actually seemed fine until about 8p and then she went down hill. 

In the morning (well more like 3 hours) I’m going into the office.  For what, I’m not all that sure.  Actually I have to fix my laptop.  The g, h, and some other keys stopped working.  You can’t do a whole lot without those keys.  I had to go purchase a wireless keyboard just to log in.

It would be nice to get a full uninterrupted nights sleep one of these days.  But does it really matter?  I’ll end up downing some caffeine in the morning regardless so is there really a difference between 4 hours and 8 hours+.  You know what I really want??? Cari.  Here.  Now. Please
