I feel very out of whack, off balance, irritated, uptight, all things not so good for a momma who is flying solo.
Daddy is sick. Day 2 of staying home and is worse than yesterday. Definitely worse than Wednesday, when he said his throat just hurt a bit.
Coughing constantly, achy, just all-around feeling ucky.
Last Thursday, Moira finished her antibiotic. And like clock work, Friday morning, we had a runny nose. Saturday, it was changing colors and low-grade fever. Fever gone by Easter morning but runny nose has been persistent. Yesterday, she had a fever when I picked her up from daycare. Low-grade fever again today :( We have switched pediatricians recently and this new one is AWESOME! Tested M for allergies and Hep C - happy to report that she is negative to ALL! No milk allergies or animals and while I'm elated, it makes me slightly frustrated that we're not any closer to finding out why she's been sick since November.
She's refusing to eat normally today, refusing to nap, refusing to play nice....it's not even 1pm and I'm already frustrated.
I've yet to shower and eat something normal. It wears me down. And I know that I'm lucky and that I should(and am) thankful for everything I have and for Miss Miracle over there (who is currently rearranging my DVD collection), some days is harder to be a happy momma.

A life in the fast lane
I just finished a long term sub job that was lengthy, emotional and physically exhausting.
Along with that job (that started the 2nd week of January and ended on April 1), I also am still working part-time for an after-school program.
Thankfully, both jobs were at the same school so my travel time was only once in the morning and once again at night.
It made our lives busier than before. Add to that a baby-turned toddler who has been sick since my FIRST sub job in November 2010 in daycare and a house that magically does not clean itself....oy.
Prep-classes for joining the Catholic church for my husband.
Sick, clingy baby.
Helping my sister move to Indiana.
Me, fighting a nasty ear infection and sinus infection from December 2010 that has evolved into unknown territory. So far, have had a CAT scan, nasal/throat scope, tube in left ear, loss of hearing in said ear, possible (now shown NEGATIVE) firbomyalgia diagnosis, numerous sprays and medications with little relief of excruiating pain/sinus/migraine headaches...now, the next step is a neurologist. Same guy that treated my seizures during my Hepatitis C treatment. I'm hoping he's got some answers.
Other than that, we're not doing much :)
