The State of Things
The past two weeks have felt like forever, and are really taking a toll on me. Both girls rotated the croup, and it took Charlie almost three times as long to kick it. Which made her whiny, fussy, and be even more clingy with me that before. I literally couldn't do anything unless I was holding her...and since she was sick, that meant we did nothing. My house was a mess, I never left Charlie's side, even to run an errand, and the whining hit epic proportions.
We spent the last two weeks doing a lot of cuddling:
A decent amount of TV watching:
A few late night parties:
And a whole lot of comfort food:
But thankfully this week is going slightly better. No Charlie won't let anyone other than me change her diaper, give her a bath, or put her to bed. Yes, it seems like she screams more than she doesn't. But things definitely are a bit better overall. One, everyone is healthy {knock on wood} and two, I'm starting to figure out some of Charlie's fussiness. It is way worse in the afternoons/evenings. So with that, I've been trying to get a few things done or sneak out to do a workout in the morning. I am a much better mom when I'm able to steal a few moments to myself every day, which has not really been happening recently.
So let's hope this upward trend continues and Charlie and I are able to come to a more manageable attachment agreement;-) All this sitting around eating cheese has left my house a mess and my body more sweater ready than bikini.
It's a good thing she's so cute and pretty much impossible to get mad at:)

Gah I hate that everybody has been sick! But gosh they are just the cutest little things ever! All that food looks YUMMMMY! Have you been trying the Neosporin on at night? I think it's helped my face clear up some! But it's not a cute look HAHA
