survive

Constant, exhausting battle with my mind to avoid the dark negative thoughts that creep in, I look hard and work at being in a positive attitude and live my life

I’m succeeding at this goal, despite SCUBA diving everyday in waters filled with Russian anti-tank mines and such ;-)

I’ve now had nearly 24 hours without a headache (shovel and Nyquil seem to have helped with the headache thing) and Noodle’s diapers haven’t exploded in days.

Sadly, one of Q’s friends was smited Saturday night – after spending Friday afternoon playing with us. I’m guilt ridden, but reminding myself that this bug is traveling all over the east coast. He could’ve picked it up anywhere…

We went out last night, which was a huge relief. Had dinner, saw a play, missed Cathy and S, drank too much caffeine.

Waking up this morning hurt. I think that we can decisively say that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The kids aren’t actively sick, just cranky and demanding and I’m still tired.

The good news is that Noodle and Q BOTH napped after I got home from work and so did I. This is extraordinary since Q rarely naps. I think I bored him into it.

I just hope that they settle down for a long winter’s nap and wake up sunny and healthy.

Q is now sick.

Although still full of energy.

I might throttle someone today.

If she doesn’t start feeling better in the next 24 hours, I think I’ll have to delay the cookie party. She’s not always miserable, but poor poor little girl…

Noodle is sick too. This is obviously not good news, except that it means whatever I had/have is contagious, and again, not good news, except that it’s good that it’s not a permanent condition I need to deal with.

Poor little girl must have thrown up last night/this morning and we didn’t realize it till I was putting her down for a nap this morning. She seemed to rally after her nap, but then her body betrayed her. Good thing I was doing laundry today anyways. She’s in nap #2 now.

The question will be, do I wake her up in a little while so she can sleep through the night? I’m leaning to ‘no’. She probably shouldn’t eat anything much anyways, so why wake her?

I don’t know what’s wrong – if it’s a return of the stomach thing from last spring, or if this is a new and hellish virus, but I feel like hell. Stomach cramps, muscle aches, exhaustion.

Luckily I and Noodle both just spent the afternoon napping. Q is with my mil and due home in half an hour or so. The kids are going to get tons of tv (‘The Grinch!’) and I’m going to get mint tea.
