Mommy Needs a Time Out

Thanks for letting me get some much-needed rest, guys!

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.  As you might recall from my previous post, Clay has been sick with the croup (and an ear infection).  I believe I am now sick with the croup as well.  I started feeling bad on Monday and as the week wore on, I would feel okay for a few hours each day and then by late afternoon, I would feel yucky again.  Yesterday I hit a wall.  Today has been worse.  (The pediatrician told me that adults can get the croup too, so we should wash our hands frequently, etc.  Ummm, yes, that's great advice.  But, when you're carrying/hugging/kissing/cuddling with a sick baby all day, hand washing doesn't really make a big difference. In my humble opinion.)

So, unfortunately, we had to cancel almost all the fun plans we had for this weekend.  This mommy needs a time out.  Seriously.  On the bright side, Clay is feeling better now and he is spending the night at his Grandma's house.  Thank you, Grandma!  Now I should get back to doing nothing.  Where did I leave that bottle of Tylenol..?...
