10:30 pm – I close the laptop and go to bed.
11:00 pm – Baby wakes hungry. I soothe and nurse him.
12:05 pm – I return to bed.
1:18 am – Baby wakes with diarrhea. I change and soothe him back to sleep.
1:30 am – I return to bed.
2:40 am – Other son wakes screaming. I run to him, and chase away the snake monster from his dream. I soothe him. I hold him in my arms until he sniffles his way back to sleep.
3:30 am – I return to bed.
4:02 am – Son wakes in a coughing fit. I administer honey, help him blow his nose, calm the gag reflex, and avert puking. I soothe him.
4:15 am – I return to bed.
4:30 am – Baby wakes crying. I nurse him, take his temperature, and soothe him back to sleep.
5:00 am – I return to bed, think about writing for you, and open the laptop.

Clearly, I love you all like sick children.
Let me know if you need some soothing.
PS- I’m fucking sleepy.
Oh you poor baby. Hope the baby’s better!!
I wouldn’t mind a cuddle though…….

Anytime, hot stuff.
Please come over and let me babysit this afternoon so you can get some sleep. It’s just a short plane ride.

Nice try… YOU come HERE.
I sure could have used some soothing on Saturday night when I’m pretty sure I had worst food poisoning of all time.
How are you functioning?

Oh yes – it’s the worst isn’t it! We’d had a stint of wonderful nights until this week. There’s a hysterical post on crappypictures.com about sick kids that I think of every time we’re hit hard by the flu or some other ailment. You might also see the humor.

Hope they get better soon!

You know there are times when I think about how I ended up a 30-something unmarried, rogue without kids and wonder what it would be like to be a mom. Then I’m reminded that I’m not cut out for what moms endure! Wow.
