Hot Stuff

For the past week my kids have been sick.  Poor little dudes have had fevers ranging between 100℉ - 103.5℉  YIKES!  It was a weird fever too.  Lasted about 3 days and now they are plagued with colds.  Thankfully there was no projectile vomiting, volcanic poops or anything else that would require you to wear a Hazmat Suit for.  Just moaning and whining that drive me to want to stuff my head in the toilet and flush until it pops off.

Now the Hubby is sick as well.  I'm semi over the last sickness that took me hostage for a month and just waiting patiently for a certain punctuation to attack, so hopefully I won't get sick at the same time, or I tell ya....I'll be one grumpy bitch!  Not that there's much of a difference from my regular, daily self.☺

I feel so bad for the kids as they are waking up at all times of the night with one issue or another.  Whether it's coughing, sneezing, losing a blanket or just wanting Mommy or Daddy to tell them everything will be just fine.  It's usually Mommy who goes into their room in the middle of the night as Daddy has to work in the morning.  I'm glad that the weekend is near, so I can sleep in.  It takes a toll on the body not getting proper sleep.  I'm basically used to it, but it sure picks the worst times to catch up to me.  You know, when I actually have things I NEED to get done and now I can't do them because I have accidentally gouged my eyes out with my toothbrush.  Do you even KNOW how many toothbrushes I have gone through in the last six months?

Glad to report that the kids spirits have somewhat lifted and they are getting back to their regular selves.  I'd say normal, but no one in this family is normal.

All this talk about sleep and here I am, 4:40 am, yapping away when I could be useful, sawing logs into nice side tables with chairs, where I would sit drinking my coffee, watching sheep endlessly jump over that fence that seems to grow taller and taller, making it harder and harder for the sheep to jump over, so they tumble into a nice fluffy pile on the ground which resembles pillows where I need to go rest my head.

Wow...All of that in one breath!
