I'm about to have a meltdown - Long & whiney
Hi all. I don't post much, but I'm sitting at my desk at work trying to pretend like I'm not crying unprofessionally.
I've been sick for about 2 weeks now. I'm over the pinkeye, but I still have a sinus infection, an ear infection and a cough. The ear infection has affected my hearing and I've had a constant ringing in my right ear for over a week and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind.
I've been to the doctor of course, am about done with the round or antibiotics, and have a call in to them today. We've managed to keep DS from getting sick too, thank God.
I can't get healthy because I'm not getting enough rest. I've already taken a couple days off work. We've already had the grandparents take DS for a couple nights so we can sleep. DH was great about taking late night baby duty for the first few days I was sick.
Trouble is this just keeps dragging on and I can't keep taking time off work and sending the kid to grandmas. I'm missing my time with my baby but I am so so so tired.
DS's sleeping has gotten much worse over these past 2 weeks too. I could handle the late nights when I was healthy, but right now I just want to hide out in a bathroom stall and cry and cry and cry.

gracious! that sounds rough. i hope you start feeling better.
Had a moment of clarity! No more tears but still feel like shiit.
Taking DS to my parents house and we're both spending the night there. That way they can take late night baby duty but I can still see him and cuddle him during awake time.
I can at least say that I'm lucky to have parents in town who don't make me crazy and who want to help.
