This is the fifth full day of my illness and one of the worst yet. My fever is long gone, but the combination of snot and exhaustion is overpowering. Aside from my MIL spending two hours here Tuesday morning so I could take a nap, I’ve been on my own from 7 to 4 each day and this morning it was just too much for me to take. I called my dad to see if he could come over for a bit and when he said he couldn’t I pretended to blow my nose so he wouldn’t hear me sobbing. The Fiendling said, “Mama sad. Mama crying,” and he sat on my lap for a bit but then he got up and needed me to play. I’m glad he’s feeling better- two days of fever is a lot for a little guy who’s never had a fever before- but it was much easier to be sick when he was sick too.

I feel like shit and I’m tired and there’s a ton of housework to do and the Fiendling needs to run around but I don’t dare expose him to other kids for at least another day since his snot is still fountainous and the fever hasn’t even been gone a full 24 hours. I just want to take a nap.
