2 sick kids..One worn out mommy.

So both my kids came down with a cold and horrible cough. They both haven’t been sleeping that great, which is no fun for me. They go to bed at around 7pm and between that time and when I go to bed around midnight, Tahir usually wakes up around 3 times or so. The last time he woke up last night, he walked right into the living room and waited for me to go to bed. Then, of course, my daughter woke up and went to my bed, laid awake waiting for me to go to bed with her. So here I was scrunched in the middle of my two sick kids in our queen size bed. My hubby got the bottom bunk bed all to himself. Yes, that’s where he usually sleeps as I sleep with the kids in our bed. I have been sleeping with my kids since birth. At the time, it was a great way to bond, now it’s a fast way to sleep deprivation. LOL! Anyways, my daughter has to take the “What is it” bag to school tomorrow so I am hoping she’s not too sick to go. Every day one kid takes this bag home and has to put something special in it and then the class has to guess what it is. It’s something they all look forward to, and of course she has to be sick for her turn. I did go to the health food store today to buy them something for their cough and cold as kids under 6 are no longer supposed to take cough medication. I found something there and gave it to them and it seems to help a bit. So that’s a huge relief. Tahir however, does not like to take it, so we have to lay him down to get it in his mouth. Not so fun.
