Being mom is often a gross job

Ok, I guess I am looking for some sympathy, or maybe just misery loves company, so I thought I would share. We have had another round of the the cold junk going through the house. Trever just gets really stuffy, and has a cough. Joseph.......my dear boy. I really need him to find a clue and some desire in the potty training department. Nasty Nasty (toxic waste type) diapers. Then the nose......Well, then the baby got it. He is so stuffy, the dr. gave us a machine to suck the grossness out with. Seriously, this machine is just about as big as the baby is and sucks at about 4lbs of pressure. Now you all should be thankfull I am not really using my adjectives well, and going in to detail. Bottom line here is that I am sleep deprived and if someone throws up in the next day or so I will have covered evey gooey nasty ooze they can put out. I thought CNA's took care of this kind of stuff. Have you ever noticed that kids can't keep their fingers out of their faces, or yours when they are sick...... so yes, now I am getting it...........all. At least I can say I taught my kids to share.
I guess Trever and Joseph needed a break from being sick today. They both took off their clothes to play Wild Animal Kingdom. All I can say is that We are all so very glad that, thought tigers, bears, snakes, cats and dogs do not wear clothes, they do wear underware. : ) Then the kids found a pen (I am usually very careful to hide all things like this) and decided to brand the animals. They don't color their coloring pages this thouroughly. The entire time, their was laughing and pretending going on and no screaming or fighting. When they got bored they decided to ransack the house and dump every toy out of every organized place. By noon they were ready for a rest time with a show, and I was ready for a cleaning lady. Oh yea..... thats me. At least my kids had a fun day, and I was too tired to ruin it by yelling at them about the mess.

Wow! What busy, busy boys! or maybe I should say animals? I'm sorry you;re all sick but I'm really sorry that YOU are not feeling well now. Everything stops when the mom's get sick. And the booger sucker machines are nasty! We had to use one with Henry last Spring. I hate them but they do work so I guess they're a good thing. Hang in there and get some rest. I hope you feel better soon.

okay women are you trying to one up me... I mean I know you have 4 boys right now I cant even imagine the sleep deprivation with 4 it is bad enough with only one so you win I will try and keep myself calm and not go into panic mode... I am doing better right now Collin is sleeping and the tea helped and I paged Dr. Bianchi to tell him I needed to be medicated and he needed to do it STAT! he told me to take a Valume and he would call me in a perscription of it so that I could start on it again... he proceeded to tell me that he didn't want me to jump off a cliff so he would medicate me for my sanity and the people who are in my lifes sanity so you might want to thank Dr. B. love you and hope everyone gets better soon.

Booger suckers!! Sounds like you need a respiratory therapist to come to your rescue!! Oh... the joys of being mother at home, you are the respiratory therapist and get to do it on your own!! Grose job and I'm glad someone else does it here!! I hope you all get to feeling better. It seems like that junk sticks around for ever!
