I'm too tired to be taken seriously

It's 3:27 Am so basically ignore everything that I'm going to say for the remainder of this post.

My child is sick, again. dr appt tomorrow or really just later today can not come soon enough. how can he be so bright eyed and bushy tailed at this hr. its really quite rude if you ask me. the only way to behave at 3 AM is asleep if you ask me.

Last night he woke up at 12:45. I took the 12:45 to 2:15 AM shift at which point Peter took over. he finally got J to sleep at 5AM. And then the kid woke up at 7:30 at which point it was my turn again.

currently we are watching "Mary Poppins" again and again and again. that music can really get in your head and then make you want to stick an ice pick in there for good measyre. peter and i keep catching ourselves singing them around the house.

and on another topic what is up with Prince William and Kate not wanting servants? can I have them if they aren't using them? i could use a house keeper and cook for a little while. As soon as she pops out a kid she will be begging for that housekeeper and cook cause who has time to do the dishes with a newborn hell I don't even have the time to do them with a toddler.

there should be a phone number you can call and talk to other moms who are up in the middle of the night with their kids. we could all cry to each other and talk about how tired we are. i suppose i could find a chat rm or something on this here computer that had moms in the same situation but a chat rm really can't replace hearing the exhausted voice of a fellow mom to make you feel like you're not alone.

how can he be so fine with drinking milk, eating pretzels, and watching a movie at this hr. I am not fine with it,. i want to be in bed, eyes closed, and whats that word, its been so long since I've done it, oh right, sleep. that's it. sleep. oh how I miss you.

Is it ok to sleep on the couch while your kid is awake. does it count as parenting if you're in the rm or do you actually have to be awake? who makes these rules anyway?

is there some sort of plastic bubble i can put us in for the rest of winter to prevent anymore illness? did anyone else see the movie "boy in the plastic bubble"? maybe he's not using his anymore and we could borrow it. how hard is it to make a clean rm like they have in the hospital? i suppose you'd actually have to have a clean house first which just brings me back to the house keeper thing. the bottom line is that I don't want to leave the house for the rest of the winter and part of the spring to prevent anymore sickies invading our world. Peter could get sprayed with some sort of disinfectant before entering since he has to leave for work and all. how am I going to get groceries, good question. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet.

it's 4AM, my child is jumping on the couch with no interest in going to sleep, excuse me while I go cry............................

  1. Oh Bonnie, I wish the sleep fairy would come visit your house. And a housekeeper- one for me, too. Hey, maybe Mary Poppins could jump out of your TV and use her magic to make Jonah sleep and make the dishes do themselves.

    Nothing seems nice when you're exhausted. I'm sending you sympathy via post.
