Last week I was really into posting a small post daily. I took a weekend break and thought I would continue this week. Then Monday my kiddo was sick with a fever, I had to leave work early to go get him. That continued into Tuesday. Took him to the doctor and he had an ear infection, blarg. We also had two snowstorms in there… and I live alone and have no-one else to shovel for me. And have to wait until kiddo goes to sleep so I can go out and shovel.
We’ve had so much snow this winter that my little basement apartment is starting to feel a bit like a cave.. its hard to see out the windows for the snow-hills, drifts and banks.
Then today (Wednesday) work was called off, which was good because I would’ve had to take the morning off anyway to be home with Aidan. (Antibiotics but still, he needs 24 hours rest before going back to daycare.)
And being home with a sick kid is not like when you’re home sick by yourself - it’s round the clock care for a small 2-year-old human who can’t express in words how he’s feeling. Who has a history of febrile seizure. Who only wants to be on mama, clinging to mama with his feverish little body, and cries when I go pee.
So this is getting long, which isn’t my goal. So I’ll end it here. My point being: things happen. Things get in the way. It’s OK. Get back to it when you can.
