And let’s throw in a little whine with that sick. For the last three nights I have gotten not more than 3 hours of sleep, and not a 3 solid hours! I’m hurting for sleep. I was so thankful this morning when Kristyn was feeling well enough and was up early enough to look after the little ones as they got up, so I could sleep a little longer. I didn’t climb outta bed for the day until almost noon! And still could have slept longer.
Almost every hour of the last 2 days I’ve been handing out meds to someone! And almost every hour of the night, someone was crying out in pain or something. And whine whine whine and cry cry cry. Kristyn was hit first. I think she’s over the worst of it. Then the three littlest, one after the other! YUCK! They are on the way to being better. I think.
Unless, those are chicken pox I spy on Matty’s arms and legs!
And Marrissa has been hit with the fever and sore throat.
Yesterday I was BEGGING to go to the store to buy sour cream (for a dish J wanted made) just so I could have some peace and quiet, a break from the constant WWWWHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!
I know Wyatt’s getting better; he played over an hour on the Wii by himself. Rayna’s not whining as much, but she tires easily. I’m not handing out meds hourly either. Now it’s every 5 or 6 hours that someone is miserable enough to deem getting a teaspoon of ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Here’s hoping for a better night’s sleep. With only one child really needing meds (Marrissa) I might be able to get a couple solid hours in!
Striving to learn and live God's purposes,

Sorry to read that you are all sick and I hope it is not for much longer. Someone once told me, not very sympathetically, that no-one died from lack of sleep. My retort was, "No but it is an excellent form of torture!"
Hope you get plenty of it soon.
Thanks, Ruby. Last night was MUCH MUCH better!
