Welcome to the sick house

Dylan has had a runny nose for over a month now. It just won't stop. Combined with another ear infection requiring more antibiotics, and a charming case of conjunctivitis, he's pretty miserable. And I don't blame him one bit! I managed to catch his cold about 2 weeks ago, and just when I was hoping I had the tail end of it, it's come back worse than ever. Head cold. Sinus pain. Body aches. Bleurghhh!

 The one good part of this sad story is that at least he's sleeping through the night and generally still having good solid day naps.  Well he WAS sleeping through the night until last night. He woke this morning at some ungodly hour having a bit of a cry, and again this morning when I was just getting up to head off to work. He cried a little, called out 'Mummy', and that was enough to make my heart melt! Usually his cries are babbling or the occasional word, but today, 'Mummy'.  Oh my poor darling boy!

 I'm sure I'll tire of being called out to during the nights, but that one little word has made my day.

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 everything

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 something new
