goodbye september

Goodbye September...I hate that month for many reasons. Shitty things happen in that month.

The last 2 weeks were torture. Both babies got very sick with temps reaching 104.1 Obviously, they didn't go to day care and my parents watched them for most of the week. My mother slept on the couch, while my dad traveled back and forth. For a week we were up most of the night with the sick babies, and I am an unstable witch with no sleep. I pick fights and bicker. Oh it's wasn't pleasant. To add to our fun house- our cat was vomiting all week and all over (note to self: don't change his cat food)...Then I got sick and remain pretty freaking ill. Later in the week M got food poisoning from a business lunch (note to self: remind her that putting lobster on a cob salad is bizarre and gnarly).

We both missed some work, and just when we thought they were feeling better: M hears a bark at midnight. I told her it was nothing and sounded like a hair ball. Wisely, she chooses not to listen to me. She gets up and poor aidan cannot breathe well and looks fearful. Oh a call to the doctor, midnight run to a pharmacy, as it turns out our boy has croup. It's a hot mess. We are sooooo tired. After a few days of liquid steroids he is feeling better.

Oh and we are interviewing a nanny/sitter tomorrow. Thousands for day care and in the end- you have to call in sick? We forgot to consider that little factor.

I must now go watch Sarah Palin make cringe worthy comments during the debate. In some ways I feel bad for her...
