Boy has it been a doozy of a start to the "sick" season for my little family. We've been sick for what seems like months now and the kids are both sick AGAIN! I really cannot explain how difficult it is for Kacy and I when we have sick little ones, but I will try.
A) There is so little to do for them when they are tiny. Max cannot take anything outside of tylenol or ibuprofen, Sophie too for that matter, and some times they are just so miserable that it breaks your heart.
B) Kacy and I are in school, Kacy full time and me three quarter time, and it really is near impossible to get all of you work done AND make sure our kids are given the love and attention they need when they are feeling yucky.
C) Then there is the house. The dishes, the recycling, the cleaning, the laundry, the shopping....all still needing to be done despite the aformentioned responsibilities. These predominately fall on Kacy because I work full time, so she's the one who has the full time job at home with the children.
D) Finally there is finding a way to socialize Sophie with her new best friend while also getting her to and from Dance/Soccer/Tumbling......whatever she is in at the time.
Sometimes I truly do feel like I am taking crazy pills, and when I run out of the pills, its only because Kacy probably has been taking them too! I don't know how we do it sometimes, and yes, its overwhelming at times too, but I would not change a thing.
Despite all of the hardships, nothing is more rewarding and fun than parenthood. Poop diapers, snot noses, long nights, early mornings, temper tantrums, time outs, accidents, NO HITTING, fevers, broken hearts, refusing to go to bed and all. Its the life!!!
