God it sucks when the kids are sick!
The last two days have been totally stressful ~ my kids have both got horrendously snotty noses that they both can't quit rubbing with their hands, or letting the goop drip over everything. It's disgusting. What's even worse is when they wake up in the morning - it's (greenish brown boogers) hardened all over their little faces, gluing their hair onto their face, or crudded onto their lips! YUCK!
I haven't really been able to go anywhere because they have both been totally miserable, whiney, and acting totally pathetic. It's like nails on a chalk board when I watch them throwing themselves on the floor and beating their little snot covered fists against my freshly polished hardwood floors.
They haven't wanted to have their afternoon nap for the last two days, and God, I really need that one hour to myself. It's when I grab a bite to eat, check my e-mail, and pee. It's my one chunk of sanity for the day.
I also have been a really bad mommy in the junk food war. When they are sick like this, they don't want to eat healthy food, so I buckle and give them a cookie - cause I don't want them fading away to nothing... Normally I try to not give them anything other than organic fruit juice cookies, but I also buy nutter butters to help my son get the extra protein from the peanut butter. They sometimes come in boxes with mini oreos ;-) and god when you're a mommy there is nothing better than an oreo fix around 3pm in the afternoon.
OK, it's time to head upstairs and pop a lunesta. It's been 3 nights since I've slept. Has anyone noticed that they taste awful? Metallic almost. Disgusting.
