This is my nightmare. I’m so sorry you had such a rough week. It’s always so awful when you look at the lock and think, “only 3 more hours…” I’ve done that far too many times! I hope the weekend helps switch things up a bit and next week is better!

Well said. Bringing up kids is a great way for us to evolve spiritually!
Emma @ P is for Preschooler says
That time between when they’re really sick and totally better is always a trying one! A sense of humor is a must with toddlers – and you’ve nailed it!
Alana says
Yes!!! I agree. Without a sense of humour, I think I would just wind up the fetal position! Thanks for stopping by, Emma!
Melissa Matters says
Oh, I feel you! So hard when both kids have been sick. We need to get out of the houseβ¦that’s my mantra!
Alana says
That’s a smart mantra. I think it’s the only way to press reset or salvage the day!

Oh yes yes yes my friend! I’ve had to repeat I love my kids many many times lately,lol… Never a dull moment! You’re doing a beautiful job! This was real and hilarious and so relatable to every mama!
Alana says
Awww thanks! Haha. If you can’t have a sense of humour about these days, I think we would totally unravel and never come back from it! Lol.

I have felt this way many days in my daughters life so far and I am pretty sure they are not going to end anytime soon. I try to get an hour or two away a week which refreshes me usually. π Sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough but it will have to do. π I hope tomorrow is much better for you!
Alana says
An hour or two a week sounds so nice and is so smart. Thanks for your comment!
Natasha says
You described perfectly many of our days, especially when it’s raining or people are sick! Sounds like you handled it like a super woman and I hope get some sleep soon!
Alana says
Thank you so much, Natasha! Sick and rainy days are definitely some of the hardest to get through!
