sometims it sucks to be parent

In the department of suckitude, here was my sleep last night: 12:30 am getting ready to go to bed and L. wakes up screaming, coughing, and crying. Nurse him back to sleep by around 1:15am. Peter tries to put him in his bed and he wakes up screaming and coughing again. Peter takes him into our bed and they fall asleep together. I decide to sleep in the office because I know if I get into our bed L. will wake me up every 20 minutes to nurse. I fall asleep by 2ish, then am woken up at 4:30am by S. who has a very stuffy/runny nose. He gets into the office bed with me and spends the next hour tossing, turning, and getting up and down to get klennex every ten minutes. I fall asleep sometime around 5:30am to be woken at 6:45 by S. snoring *so* loudly. I move to the couch and fall back asleep by 7:00am. At 7:45am I am woken up by L. looking for me to nurse. I take him into our bed and nurse him and doze for maybe 20ish minutes until 8:30 while he nurses.

So, yeah, I'm really tired today and I have two sick kids and a sick me.

Bleah.

And we are almost out of toilet paper which means we do have to leave the house at some point in the very near future.

Sadly we are down to one and half rolls so I really do have to go to the store. At least it will eat up some of day (we are going to get some other shopping done), and L. should nap afterwards.

Yeah, this is just NO fun.

The earthquake didn't wake you up at 5:30?

You know, I don't think so, but I think that may be the reason Harlie was all wound up about that time. She was really pestering me and trying to get under the covers with me.

That always seemed to happen with my sisters family one person would get sick and around it would go. They were lucky if it didn't make a second round. I also recall afew times my sister running in the front door asking to borrow toilet paper and running out the back and taking off in the car to run home lol. Funny now but not at the time I imagine. Hope you all feel better soon.

Yeah, once one of us is sick everyone is bound to get it. Sucks.
