babyjane is still really sick. luckily I was able to drink myself into a state of artificial joy after she went to bed and sober up by her first hourly waking sometime around 1am. that is my drinking strategy, by the way, to stay awake until I’m sober again. it doesn’t take that long, really, and it’s sure worth it in the morning. …especially when you only sleep in 45 minute bursts or have to leap out of bed when you hear the garbage truck (I didn’t make it).
these m&ms are giving me heartburn, bleah. I never get that! hmm, I guess I do now.
so a few minutes ago I was helping bjane blow her nose and when I was done she said, “there’s still some inside.” I told her, “here’s a tissue, ” and, “you’re a big girl. pick your own nose.” and then I had a lovely stroll down memory lane, thinking about that old blue baby-booger snorker and how much fun it was to squonk a long oogy one up it “EWWWWWWW” and then chase the kids around with it. you can shoot them really far.
ah, memories.
oh yeah, I forgot… I did manage to get out today! I had to go pick up emma at school. guess who’s sick now! oh, and THEN, dylan missed the bus. see, if you wait, it just gets better and better. WOW!

I’m sorry about teenytiny still being sick, that just sucks.
And you’re scaring me with the squeegybulb stories.
both of mine are sick too. what is it with the 1am wake up and then every hour after??? strange.
sorry you are doing it alone, and proud of you for keeping your sense of humour.
I love you. And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
Kids…….

‘artificial joy’
great, now i’ve got the MASH theme playing in my head.
i can relate and relate and relate to the multiple sick kids at night all alone this must be what hell is like sleep deprived zombie state you must be in by now.
but hang in there; in another fifteen years or so they’ll all be away at college, and they can puke on someone else’s watch.
