Sick - the kids - a mild cold came through and all 3 kids eventually had it. It landed me in Kaiser 2 Sundays in a row for ear infections (Owen and Gavin).
-me- with a UTI. or so I thought. After I took antibiotics for 7 days the culture came back negative. Mystery knife like pain in bladder and aching back?! "It's NOT a tuma!"
Tired - me - last weekend before Gavin's ear infection was diagnosed I was up all night 2 nights in a row. Then on Tuesday of this week he woke up EVERY 30 MIN. Oh Lord. I had to call in sick to work on Wednesday b/c I was dangerously tired. So not safe to put sharp things in people's mouths that way. I was falling asleep at red lights trying to get the kids to school/sitter/Kaiser. Fortunately we all came out alive. I thought for sure the meds weren't working but the pediatrician said his ears looked the same and didn't recommend changing anything..."stick it out". ARGH.
- mike - works his tail to the bone. drives 8 hours to Yosemite for a job that has lasted 2 months longer than expected. work work work. he never relaxes even when he's not working. work is always on the brain.
-gavi gavi- poor baby was sleeping so well - 7 to 9 hours in a stretch - and then got a cold, ear infection, and 4 top teeth coming all at once. he's exhausted.
Sick and Tired. of ear infections. of the clutter. of not being able to spend time with my family the way I want to. of yelling. of always feeling "behind." of not having enough money no matter how hard we work or save. of mountains of laundry. of being a single mom most of the time and all the time for the last 3 weeks in a row. of not being able to attend church b/c someone is always sick. of the cat peeing on a towel if you leave it on the bathroom floor. of saying something nicely a million times and being ignored until I yell. of not being able to work out. of time flying by so fast that I still haven't had my yearly December family picture taken. of not being reimbursed by Aetna for my $600 Mirena. of watching myself complain via this post! aaaaahhhhhhhh

Ugh. Sick and tired definitely describes it!! I hope Mike is done soon, that the babes all are healthy, that you get to work out soon...oh how I could go on! I just hope things improve!!
