4 am

Since my husband is out of town for 6 days, it's no surprise that the rest of us are sick. Tuesday night, Sweet Pea started to fuss as I was getting ready to go to bed. No fever, just fussing, I gave her some Motrin and put her back to bed. An hour later, she started again. I brought her a drink, rocked her for a few minutes and she was ready to go back down. It's now midnight, I am on the verge of drifting off for the 2nd time tonight and here comes Turkey Butt. He's coughing and he can't sleep. Poor guy! I head downstairs to find the cough syrup (searching for the good stuff, you mommas know what I'm talking about), no dice...only Delsym. I give him the meds, turn on his TV and head back to bed, again. Fast forward to about 4 am, here comes Turkey Butt, AGAIN(I am hearing Rob Thomas, 'It's 3 am I must be lonely). Only this time, he's dressed and had his breakfast. He's ready for school! I have no idea if he slept between 12 am and 4 am! Scary! I put the dog out (she thinks it's time to get up too) convinced him to go back to bed and headed back to bed again for a few more minutes sleep.
Today, I stayed home with my poor babies. We headed to the pediatrician, turns out Sweet Pea has an ear infection and TB has a viral infection. I have no idea what I have! I just know that I'd feel a LOT better if I could take some good drugs for myself! I guess I'll have to suffer through until Sunday when Daddy Dearest comes back. He owes me BIG TIME!
