Not doing sick very well
By hissychick | November 12, 2008
Tell me people, whatever happened to the good old fashioned 24 hour stomach bug? E is still sick. She has lost so much weight and has so little energy from this stupid illness and the lack of sleep that has accompanied it (daytime sleep even though I am waking one to two hourly in the night? Forget that, mother).
And then there’s the worry of the ever present threat of dehydration. Memo to manufacturers of Gastrolyte et al: can you please make it palatable? That shit is so sickly sweet. And that’s coming from someone with a very sweet tooth.
I guess I can take comfort from the fact that A is OK for now. Just don’t tell the parenting police that she has watched TV for four hours straight thus far today, and that after going the screaming approach to her threenager demands I have now simply given up and she is getting exactly what she wants when she wants it. Am simply too drained to be effective at anything.
This gig sucks.
