I am linking up again with Crazy With Twins Wednesday Words feature. This feature give’s us license to find a quote, lyric, poem, whatever we fancy that we identify with, or that helps to tell our story..
I found this quote recently and I really associated with it. So far this week has been challenging to say the least. After a wonderful weekend the new week dawned and bestowed upon us a poorly Baby. She had been sick once on Saturday, which we put down to her antibiotics. Then on Monday she was very sad as we were getting ready in the morning, then promptly threw up everywhere and didn’t seem to be able to stop. After a call with the Doctor and Baby being sick again (and the dog joining in AT THE SAME TIME!), off we trooped in the rain to the Doctors, only to get a pram flat half way there. Grrrr….
Baby had a high temperature and the Doctor said it was either a reaction to the antibiotics or a gastric bug. By Monday night she had managed to hold down a cracker and some milk, until she threw up all over Mr Hubby as he was putting her to bed. Eventually she took some more milk and went to sleep, waking for a bottle at 4am, which also stayed down.
On Tuesday morning I thought we had cracked it, although she didn’t want breakfast (and I made pancakes! How rude! ). I popped to wash up, only leaving the room for 2 minutes when I heard splashing water sounds. I found Baby happily slapping her hands on her high chair tray in yet more sick. The room was covered, it looked like a CSI crime scene. O.K, I could go on, let’s just say pretty much everything that could go wrong, over the last few days has. I have run out of kitchen roll, wet wipes and my baby is still being sick.
I started to feel my insides beginning to shake with the anticipation that wouldn’t be able to cope. Then at Baby’s bedtime, I took her up and had to shout Mr Hubby as I too started to be sick. I slept on the couch (so not to wake Baby), with very frequent trips to the loo. So from 6pm last night I had to hand over to Mr Hubby, who is still with us now, as I would not have been capable of looking after Baby. I am so grateful for my hubby. This quote really sums up my week so far. Thinking of it’s words gives me a focus, stops my crazy and makes me remember that I have all I ever wanted and nothing else really matters as long as I have my family.
Now has anyone got any kitchen roll I can borrow?!

Oh dear, sounds like a pretty bad time. We are having a rubbish week too with trips to A&E, our car dying and my OH’s Grandfather passing away so these words are really important to try and hang on to through the bad times. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much x
Aww i feel your pain, we had a really bad few nights like these, we nicknamed them Pulp Fiction as the most memorable was as we had just started to watch the film and my twins both cried from upstairs and had both been sick and it was projectile. Took hours it seemed to clear up and then they went again. Hope you all recover fast, apple cleanses the stomach when you can manage a little to eat. Really works xx

Sounds like you’ve had a really rough time. Being sick is the worst thing when you’ve got to look after a little one – I’ve been there too. Hope you’re on the mend soon.

You poor thing, it is utterly miserable when illness strikes. Being a Mum and having a sick family is utterly draining and you are supposed to be the one that carries on and looks after everyone. I hope you are feeling better and looking forward to an illness free week next week x
Author
I am so looking forward to normality! x

I was having profound thoughts myself along the same lines today. Wise words indeed. Sorry to hear your week’s been such chaos. The good news is that hideous as these days are, they do pass. Hope you’re all well again soon.
