PooWee and I are ill AGAIN! I’m so sick of this!
PooWee man had poo-poo issues last Wednesday. I was changing him constantly. He was hanging on me and only wanted to nurse ALL DAY! Thursday he seemed much better. I took him to daycare Friday, he didn’t poo all day. Saturday he gave the sitter a HUGE blow out and didn’t eat.
Saturday is when it started for me…I ate lunch and my stomach began to turn. UUGH-I was so nauseaed, but couldn’t throw up. I kept thinking, “If only I would throw up, I would feel better!” Never happened. I had to stay home from work on Sunday. (UUGH, the work I have missed lately!)
PooWee and I have been hanging out in bed the past 2 days. Food? – What food, if we eat we just feel awful. PooWee is nursing so much, I am sore. He only nurses three times a day now, so believe me we are in OVERTIME here. I’ve been drinking as much fluids as possible.
I tossed the cloth diapers to the side for awhile. I think I’ve used more disposables these past few days then I have his whole 15 months. I’m feeling guilty, but man, they are just so much more convenient, seeing all I want to do is change him and lay right back down.
Today, we both have gotten out of bed. Feeling better, well that is until we shared a piece of toast. PooWee had a fourth and I managed the rest. My gut is turning and he is once again whining and pulling at me and doing “milk” in sign language. (We use that for nursing.) It’s rather cute. Milk is done by opening and closing your fist. He chases me with his ands in the air, doing the sign. Yes, and I give in. It seems to be his comfort zone during this ill time of his.
Have I told you all how much my mom rocks yet? Well, G-MA MARCY ROCKS!!! She called Sunday evening asked if I needed anything and said she was picking up Elijah and would take him to school Monday morning. She brought over some ginger ale and Elijah headed to her place. She picked him up after school, took him to gymnastics and he spent the night again last night. He’s loving it too. G-Ma Marcy spoils him. He doesn’t have to do a thing there! I’m thinking it may be hard to get him to come home.
My weekend sitter didn’t have the kids this weekend because she has Influenza B. And when I took PooWee to daycare on Friday, a sign was hanging on the door. It said “There has been a confirmed case of Influenza B in this classroom” Oh YEAH-I’m loving the sound of all this! INFLUENZA B STAY AWAY FROM US. WE ALREADY HAD INFLUENZA A, WE DON’T NEED YOU!
We have had so much sickness in this house this year – it’s crazy. Typically we end up having one cold go through the house and then we are done! I would say we are done for a few years now.
I’m hoping to find enough energy today to wash the dishes that have been piling up for days. Pick up the living room floor, which has toys, clothes and a deck of cards thrown all over. My bathroom has a pile of dirty clothes. Speaking of clothes, I have like 3 loads that have been patiently waiting since Thursday to be folded. I think I may have to get the iron out. We’re not even going to mention my bedroom. OH HOW I WISH I COULD HIRE A MAID – JUST THIS ONCE!!!
I must find the energy! Things NEED to get done around here. I think I may just bust butt, get stuff done no matter how I feel and then hit the bed…once again. Oh and yes I will be skipping my meeting at work today. PPSSST-like I feel like going anyways!
****UPDATE****
My mom…she’s the cherry on top of the sundae…the extra pickle in a bloody mary…SHE’S THE BEST!!
Just as I finished up this post, she comes walking in carrying bananas for PooWee. (She has this thing for the bananas at a local gas station. She says they are the best. PooWee loves bananas, so of course G-ma has to buy him the good ones.) She then starts taking off her jacket. I asked her what she was doing and she stated that my dishes need to get done. She said she was here to get some of my work done. I told her she couldn’t do my dishes and that I am making myself work today NO MATTER WHAT. She wouldn’t hear it. She said I needed to rest yet, cause I looked like sh*t! (THANX MA!) I still wouldn’t let her do my dirty dishes so, I offered her to fold the laundry instead. She sat down and folded ALL OF IT! I got the living room picked up and a start on the dishes so far. I LOVE YOU MA!!!!!
