What’s worse than one kid being sick?
How about three? Each one on the tail of the previous. Just as the eldest turns a corner towards the healthy side of the force, her baby brother spikes a fever and her other brother’s cough takes a turn towards the dark side.
FML.
I am curled up in bed waiting for the 1/2 tab of Gravol I just took to kick in. I am beyond exhausted and still feeling the remnants from last nights’ gingerbread festivities (hence the Gravol).
If I prayed to God I would wish for an uninterrupted nights’ blissful sleepy oblivion. That’s not too much to ask for, is it?
The Urban Dr. Mom 
nope… not at all! I hope you get a good night’s sleep, despite all the sickness. (Oh, and 1/2 tab of gravol? You’re a light weight… I guess my body did develop a tolerance after my year of constant nausea)
Yep, I took 1/2 tab of 25 mg gravol, so really only 12.5 mg. Out like a light! Was up at 2am with the baby but then fell back asleep instantly.
Hmm… I didnt even know you could grt 25mg tablets. I can easily take 50mg and still function at work
Oh dear. I thougjht it was a 25 mg tab. I could totally be wrong. It was probably a 50 mg tab.
Well might be too much to ask if you kiddos are all under the age of 10 or so and very close in age. I really don’t how you cope. i quite my nursing job nearly 14 years to raise my two. I did not have the stamina to work and raise my children. Now that they are adults they cause me more worry than when they were teenagers. Oh well that is life. Perhaps soon you’ll be able to sleep well.
Thankfully I have an amazing husband who stays home full time to take care of the kids. He is a saint.
