It was a beautiful 64 degrees and sunny here today and we are still stuck inside because of illness. Chuck went to work tonight at 5 PM mostly to get away from sick people and for his own sake. I sure wish I were able to do that too. Sydney wants Mommy all the time and I want to be there for her whenever she needs me but it sure makes it difficult to get anything else done. She doesn’t sleep long when she does but on a good note, she is finally able to keep crackers and liquids in her. She almost seemed like herself at times today but then again, she cried this terrible weak cry for awhile today too. It really pulls your heartstrings when they do that. We are expecting really nice weather all this week so I can’t wait to air out my house for some fresh air and a change of scenery. I have been so busy caring for everyone else and cleaning up after them that I cannot wait to get out for a bit. I feel like I have been in this house with sick people for 10 days or more and I am almost losing my mind at times.
I am going to end up driving my husband 3 hours one way to get to an airport so he can go to California for his mom’s funeral. He leaves Tuesday and will return Friday. So it looks like I get to do lots of driving this week too.
Guess I better say lots of prayers right now so that I can be strong for everyone who needs me. Life can sure be tough at times but those are the times when you find out how strong you really are. For right now, I am simply praying for a good night’s sleep for both me and Sydney so that I have the strength to get through tomorrow.
