Week 26

We've had a bit of a rough week with Dylan.  Sunday night he woke at 2am and didn't sleep a whole lot after that until about 6am.  Not even a dose of panadol worked.  He was tired but his slightly snotty nose seemed a bit better when it was time to get up and head off to daycare.  I got the call during my lunch break that he had a temperature of 39.2 and could I come collect him.  The carers said he was clingy, miserable and just not well.  By the time I picked him up his temperature was over 39.5 poor boy!  He needed a clearance from a doctor before daycare would accept him the following day, so I headed straight for the doctors.  There we discovered he had a middle ear infection.  So antibiotics were in order, and lots of sleep!  So in the 7 months since I've been back at work, I've taken my first ever day of carers leave to look after one sick and miserable weeny boy.

He's been tired, clingy, whingy, a picky eater, with tantrums galore the entire week.  It hasn't been much fun.  At least he seems to be on the mend, and we are all getting a bit more sleep now.

We took Dylan to the park today to the walking tracks so he could ride in his little cozy coupe car.  He had a ball and he totally wore himself out.  We got him home and after a little bit of lunch he was out for the count.  Around 3 and a half hours later he awoke
looking a little brighter thank goodness!

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem...

We had to go do some grocery shopping one day this week.  I was wearing a new-ish dress and could not for the life of me work out which shoes to wear with it. So Dylan takes the opportunity to choose some from my wardrobe and model them around the bedroom for me!  Such a funny little man!  He even got them on the right feet!   A portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2015 Shoes were fun for a minute or two... then back to his trains of course!   Joining in with Jodi and Project 52 .   Bel

Week 11 What can I say about this week??  Not much other than there has been a serious lack of sleep.  I can mostly blame this lack of shut eye on the weeny boy, but otherwise I only have myself to blame.  One night out with my girlfriends was the culprit on one of those occasions.  But it was such a fun night, no kiddies, no husbands, just a few hours of good girl gossiping and frivolity!  The next day, being a work day, no amount of concealer would hide the under eye bags. The only thing to do was dose up on coffee and get through the day.  It was good in theory, but after multiple coffees; more than I would normally drink, I was buzzing! I was still buzzing at about 3am the next morning... Not the way to get a good night's sleep. One piece of exciting news for the week was that I finally got my new digital SLR camera! Yippee!!  The bad news is... I don't know how to use it other than "Auto" mode which kinda defeats the purpose. Oh well... It's s...
