TGIT - Otherwise known as: This Week Stinks

I know...it's only Thursday but heck it seems like Friday to me.

Monday
Go to work. Come home to sick baby. Awake to the sound of screaming around 2AM. Feel baby - burning up. Take baby to kitchen and proceed to try and give tylenol. Give tylenol - baby spits it out. Repeat twice. Decide not to try a third time as you do not wish to OD the baby on Tylenol. Change tactic. Attempt baby motrin instead. Have baby spit it back out. Decide to just go back to bed - surely something stayed in.

Tuesday
Take sick day. Go to doctor. Try not to kill someone while doctor's appointment takes 3 hours. Determine baby is, in fact sick. (Not to be totally snarky here but honestly, even I could have figured it out - I have YET to understand what I waited 3 hours for - I knew the tests he was going to run I could have just ordered them myself, waited for the results and then told him the medicine I wanted - we could have ALL saved time.) Stumble through the rest of the day and THEN: Awake to the sound of screaming around 2AM. Feel baby - burning up. Take baby to kitchen and proceed to try and give tylenol. Give tylenol - baby spits it out. Repeat twice. Decide not to try a third time as you do not wish to OD the baby on Tylenol. Change tactic. Attempt baby motrin instead. Have baby spit it back out. Decide to just go back to bed - surely something stayed in.

Wednesday
Devise plan to get out of the house where husband goes to work early and we do the 'switch off' and I then leave. Execute plan perfectly. Drive to work in silence and feel....bliss. Stay in office all day...alone...get caught up and feel at ease and THEN: Awake to the sound of screaming around 2AM. Feel baby - burning up. Take baby to kitchen and proceed to try and give tylenol. Give tylenol - baby spits it out. Repeat twice. Decide not to try a third time as you do not wish to OD the baby on Tylenol. Change tactic. Attempt baby motrin instead. Have baby spit it back out. Decide to just go back to bed - surely something stayed in.

Thursday
Decide to execute the Wednesday plan again. Get weary body ready to go to work and drag sleeping (yes, sleeping NOW) baby to drop off. Rear end someone. Yes, that's right REAR END SOMEONE. Be thankful no one is hurt. And that brings to now which I FULLY think will go as the following two nights have with: Awake to the sound of screaming around 2AM. Feel baby - burning up. Take baby to kitchen and proceed to try and give tylenol. Give tylenol - baby spits it out. Repeat twice. Decide not to try a third time as you do not wish to OD the baby on Tylenol. Change tactic. Attempt baby motrin instead. Have baby spit it back out. Decide to just go back to bed - surely something stayed in.

I should mention that my husband has been snoring like a train. Note that this ONLY amplifies my annoyance and exhaustion. But that's another post for another day.

Yes, the week has sucked.
Royally.
