Can't help but feel sorry for myself

Tweet

My son's having a really difficult time with teething and eczema, he's getting his back four teeth and when he's teething it makes his eczema even worse than usual, so the combination results in sleepless nights reminiscent of the early days when he was a baby who needed to be fed every three hours day and night In fact I think this is even worse, because I've spent a year getting used to having proper sleep now, so when this happens it really affects me. It's a given that I feel awful for Leonard, teething is bad enough without having to add incessant itching and split, bleeding skin to the mix! But some of my pity goes to myself as well. I feel sorry for myself when I don't get enough sleep, it seems to block me from thinking about other things because all I can do is think about how tired and irritable I am. Thank god I've got Leonard to keep putting a smile on my face
