A bunch of Sick-o's

I'm having trouble this week. It started Monday with a VERY fussy Emmersyn and a VERY independent Teagan. I say independent because she just wants to do everything her way and of course, I want her to do it my way! LOL. I try to remember that I do what my kids to be independent later, but at the moment when I'm trying to soothe a 6wk old and trying to make lunch one handed, I just wish Teagan would be ok with whatever I choose to make...not the case EVER!

Tuesday was about the same, but it started at 3:30am. For some reason, Teagan was awake when Matt got up for work and stayed up. I tried to have her watch some tv in my bed so maybe I could snooze and hoped she would fall asleep too...yeah, that didn't happen!
Wednesday, we had a birthday party to go to at Chuck E Cheese. I decided Teagan may just need a little mommy/daddy/Teagan time, plus I didn't want to carry a carseat around the place with Emmersyn in it, so we decided to take the baby to my mom's for a few hours of just fun. We got some pizza, cokes, and tokens and just had a lot of fun with Teagan. BUT, I noticed when we got there her nose was starting to run. Not a huge thing, except this mommy knows that is the first sign of a cold coming on.

Sure enough, on Thursday, she was coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc. Full on cold for Teagan. Yay! Emmersyn is slightly congested and sounds more snorty (I know that's not a real word) than normal. I'm trying as best I can to keep one suctioned out while wiping the others nose every second, but man am I tired!!

And that leads me to today! I had cashed in my 'mommy time' last night to go grocery shopping. I mean what new mommy needs a nap, or a nice girls night, or anything fun like that? I spend an hour and a half going to CVS to get the girls some meds and to my store for groceries! Living it up I tell ya! Anyways, this morning I wake up at 5:30 for a feeding and then at 8 to both girls being up. I had hoped to get a shower before either woke up, but it looks as if that'll wait too. My throat hurts so bad, my ears are sore, and I have so much head and chest pressure...great, momma is sick too! BOO!

Please wish us luck that we survive being sick. I had hoped to go to dinner club tomorrow night, but it doesn't look like that'll pan out. I don't want to leave the girls with someone when they are sick and miserable and to be honest, I doubt I'd be any fun with being sick myself! Too bad though, I was trying to talk Matt into a movie too...you know, a real date night!
