Un-meepness

Let’s see if this works..

  

I feel like I’ve missed out on a couple of chapters, so here goes:

I was home with Isabel yesterday; poor poppet had a fever, was complaining of tummy ache and had an eye infection. And of course Mignon is also sick today. I’m just keeping fingers crossed that Daniel doesn’t get sick. It really freaks me out when they don’t want to eat or drink.

It was the usual little tousle about who takes the day off work yesterday, not that I mind, but working for yourself means that you can’t really take leave so there went a potentially productive Monday. Once again, not that I really mind. I would have been worried the entire day anyway. Hubby did morning shift today and my Mom until 3 pm as both Mignon and Isabel are home.

I have now decided to classify myself as Economically Semi-active. Because working a full day or a full week just doesn’t seem to be possible.

We have also generally been sleep deprived as DH finally lost his temper on Saturday night with Daniel not wanting to sleep by himself. (normally, DH is so cool and calm I have to check him for a pulse) So we endured much crying and whining for the last 3 nights. And spraying of imaginary spiders. But, I think he finally clicked that we aren’t going to give in at 03h00 this morning when he woke up, asked for his ‘lappie’ and went straight back to sleep. If he only but knows how nearly we gave in…

Here’s a pic of him last night, check out the almost sarcastic facial expression. (another one for the bribery book..)

  1. Love the pic, you definitely need to keep a copy of this one!
    Hope the girls feel better soon, I always feel miserable when Jess is sick. xx
    So glad you are un-meeped! I will post tomorrow about my last few days. xx

  2. Sorry the world around you is full of sickness and sleeplessness. Hope it all gets better soon.

  3. Love the pic 🙂 And hope the gilrs are much better soon – and that D doesn’t catch it!

    I also wonder if the kids know how close I am to giving in when they push me! I sometimes feel like telling Tristan if he’d moaned or hugged or kissed me once more, I would have caved. Of course that totally defeats the purpose.

    We’re at this point with both right now. I’m in trouble for not disciplining, but when Connor cries, Hubby gets this wild look in his eye that says “shut him up, or I will do something”! So what? Must I discipline and make him cry? Or keep him quiet by giving in?
    Catch 22!
    Sorry I hijacked you here!

  4. Sjoe, hope your girls are better soon. It’s so hard to be productive when you’re worried about the children. That’s why I decided to take D out of Aftercare even though it will still be open for another two weeks. I can’t take worrying whether he’ll be picked up or not or left all alone again. Love the picture of your little Prince Charming – LOL!
