Yep I'm going to complain about my day and its only 2pm. I have a sick 2 year old, a healthy 7 month old both wanting mommy. I have tones of stuff to throw in the washer and drier. I have to do the dishes. There is no where to sit in my living due to my daughter throwing up or bppoping on our sofas. Right now I feel like crying in defet of my children winning today. I pretty much locked myslef in the bathroom for five minutes to cry before my husband left for work. Finally a little luck my daughter passed out and my son has my attention. Got some dishes done now on to clothes. Hopefully she wakes up happy or stays a sleep for the ight.

Well it wasn't any better the next day we went to the ER to make sure she wasn't too dehydrated. Thankfully she wasn't and today she is much better with some anti nause medication.

you're worried about your daughter that's why you're tense and this aggravates the situation. don't worry too much about the dishes and the laundry. let them pile up, nobody will scold you for having a messy sink and loads of laundry. what is important is your family. i hope your daughter will recover soon. you'll be able to relax then.

Don assume that I'm worried when I'm no worried. It's not the first time she has been this sick. She has never been this sick since I've had my son and he's a baby and they both love me so much that I can't leave the room with out one crying and even more so when sick which is irritating and more irritating when your own husband can't help you because they are not physically able to do so but would if they could. It takes more then a stomach bug to worry me about either of my children. I don't get to relax I'm a mom that part relaxing really doest exist when your on 24/7.

She is still sick but doing much better today. Yester day and the day before that was the worst of it. She spend three days throwing up and then having water poop which can cause serious dehydration so I took her to the ER to make sure she was well hydrated and thankfully she was and we didn't have to stay long. We went home with in two hours. They gave us some anti nausea medication. She has the doctor tomorrow.

Maybe if you can afford it, take some help. I know, sometimes the simple things like doing the dishes looks so hard. remind yourself the good things you have in your life and reward yourself after you'll do the dishes with something good, even small one. I wish you all the best.

Well you can't reward yourself when your the only taking care of your kids and I don't like asking for help because for over a year I was far away from family and took care of my eldest by myself and just after my son was born we moved back to be closer to family. I rather take are of my kids by myself and complain about it then be defend and have help. I did have my sister in law come over but really she is no help she doesn't even know how to take care of kids and she has her own and messes up way to much for me to really leave her in charge of my kids. I rather die first. I had her sit in the living room for and hour while I did my things but most was done way before she came over.

Ugh..it is never a good day for a Mom when she has a sick little one, multiple kids and is alone with them...on top of having everything to do. I feel for you...this is my husbands weekend to work and I am usually exhausted by the time he gets home. I guess it is because I have all 7 kids home instead of just the 3 little girls during the week. But, if anyone is sick, especially sick like your little one, that adds a ton of work and stress.
I hope she starts to feel better soon and then you can get caught up so you don't feel so overwhelmed.

I end up calling in my mom how sent me my annoying sister in law. Before my husband left for work he was able to get my sick one to sleep so I only had my son awake for a bit where I was able to go and do some clothes then he went to sleep and I was able to do more then my mom brought lunch since I wasn't able to heat up anything for myself. My sister in law helped watch my two while I got some more stuff which I'm thankful for. I was much better once 6pm came time to get the kids settled for bed at 9 but they both crashed between 8 and 8:30. It's crazy and it doesn't help that they are close in age and very much love me. I could even pee which is normally but it was more annoying since the older of the two was more so clinging to me since sick.
