sick team smith

My crew is sick. They are pitiful, with all the coughing, and fevers, and vomiting. I am once again amazed by all the women out there who have three or more children, because I truly feel that I don't have another arm, cuddle, space on my lap, minute in the day to possibly handle another sick child. On top of that, I really don't shine as a mother when my kids are sick. I doubt myself. I worry. I constantly suppress the urge to whip out my cell phone and call my mother, my mother-in-law, the pediatrician, friends who are nurses, friends who are mothers, and anyone else who could give advice and therefor take responsibility for the health of my children.

Anyway...

I really try not to use this blog as a place to dump negative energy, but I've been feeling apathetic about good ol' blythe and bonnie lately. I've kind of been offline in general. Hopefully it's a passing funk.

Anyway...

Elly's crib is in the room directly above me and I hear her coughing her little lungs out, so I'm off.

What's wrong with calling for help from those who have been there done that? I think that what they're there for!

You're offline living life. Keep at it and your girls will be healthy in no time whatsoever. Hugs to you and the girls. Be good to you.

I feel like I just left Charlotte and already I'm out of the loop. I had no idea that you and the girls were sick. I'm so sorry. Why didn't you call me? I'm always available to give you my medical advice. It's good practice for me.

I hope everyone is feeling better soon. I'm sorry that my head has been in the books. I'll call and check on you soon. Love you.
