Last night is such a freakin' blur, it's probably best if I don't try to remember it but...
Charlotte didn't sleep more than an hour at a time all night long, Jack and I were both up with her at different times - rock, walk, nurse - gawd it was a long night. Just when we all fell asleep it was time to get up and get Julia ready for school. She had climbed into our bed early this morning and as she got up, she gave up a few really barking coughs and Jack and I just looked at each other "O.o" so I got up with her and looked in her throat. She's got tonsils the size of plums, almost no voice, and she asked for medicine for her throat. Soooo, I guess she's staying home today.
I feel like hell. I've got my mp3 player on LOUD to tune out the sounds of motherhood - YTV nonsense, spoons scraping bowls of rice krispies, and barking, sniffling kids. Soon, I'll take my puffy eyes and scratchy throat upstairs to shower and step into MOM mode, but for now it's just me, Three Days Grace, Bodyrockers, Petey Pablo and Swollen Members. Not quite the usual music for a mid-thirties mother of three who slept in her clothes last night, but it makes me happy in my pants :-P
