It's been a rather quiet long weekend here in the McLean household. Due to a poorly bubba, we didn't do much except to stay home most of it. Scarlett has been down with a cold since Sunday night but she has had stuffed nose throughout the week (joys of daycare as they are very susceptible to catching whatever virus) and call it a mother's instinct I knew its a matter of time it gets worse.
I find it very hard when S gets sick. She becomes another child - just downright miserable. Screamy, whingey, doesn't know what she wants, wouldn't sleep in her cot, clingy and wouldn't eat and drinks very little. I think the most trying time as a parent for me is when they get sick and I often find myself not sleeping due to being held captive by my sick child and often very cranky. It's not a very nice place to be in. Sleep deprivation man, its evil.
Anyway, I took an extra day off so S could have another day at home to recover before she heads back to daycare and I, to work. She does seem better than yesterday - she ate some food, drank juices and was giggling and dancing away to The Wiggles and Playschool.
The problem is, it's always the worse at night for some reason - so hopefully tonight is going to be a good one because I am running low on fuel - need sleep badly!
xo, Leney
