It's 4:30 in the morning and here I sit on the couch while the Mr. lies in bed with my Goose who, last time I checked, has a temperature of 102.7, an awful cough, runny nose, and just plain old feeling "yucky". I've never seen her this sick before.
It breaks my heart.
It's been a rough few months here in the Matern house. Between Bubs having chronic and consistent ear infections (he's FINALLY having tubes put in on Tuesday), Goose breaking her arm on Christmas Eve, the Mr. dislocating his knee while playing churchball 2 weeks ago (which by the way, he's just starting to be able to bend it and put weight on it), and me going into the hardest part of this pregnancy, I AM DONE.
I just want to remember what it's like to have everyone in my house healthy and happy all at the same time.
I want to not be at the doctors office at least once a week (it's been a lot more than that lately) anymore.
I want the people at the pharmacy to not recognize me or Bubs' name when we come in for a perscription.
I want medicine, and temperatures, and doctor's appointments, and surgeries, and physical therapy, and bedrest, and perscriptions, and broken washing machines, and flat tires, and migraines to be the LAST things on my mind.
I want normal back.
But, this is the real world. And in the real world, MY real world, this is how we roll. So, if you see me and I look like I haven't slept or showered in a couple of days, it's probably cause I haven't. Don't be alarmed. This is how I roll.
I know that I'm not given anything I can't handle ( I have to remind myself of that daily...) but I think someone upstairs sometimes feels like I'm stronger than I am.
I'm just trying to take care of my family.
Didn't mean for this to come across as a "pity me and my broken family" kind of post. But hey, it's my blog and I'll write what I want to. You would write too if it happen to you. (so clever...)
Alright Matern clan, we have 10-11 weeks to get all of this out of our systems before Manchild #3 makes his way into this crazy world of ours. We can do it. I want us to look like this again... all happy and shiny.
We can do it.
