Tell me I am crazy or not.

DD is sick - but on the mend. Still lost her voice and very stuffy. She is in her crib and if I leave she screams with no voice. It doesn't help that she is on albuterol - a stimulant. She is fine if I sit here - hiding my nook behind a pillow. I feely crazy but mean if I leave and she cries. It has been an hour. She is whispering counting and turning herself around and around on her back despite the pillow to help her terrible cough. I wish DH would bring me wine.

    i don't think you're crazy but it does kind of sound like you're at your wit's end.  can your husband come take a shift? or maybe you should make a bed on the floor and go to sleep in there.  it sounds very frustrating!

    I think you're stuck mama.  I look at situations like this as "well, this is what I signed up for" and then try to do my best to stick it out and not go insane.  Between being sick and being on the stimulant and coughing and being miserable - it sounds like she needs you there - it is providing her some comfort and she's having a rough time.  I'd keep reading that nook - hopefully something really good - and get that wine in hand as soon as you can!  Hopefully she'll fall asleep SOON!
    Wheee!

    Thanks ladies! I am glad to know I was not crazy for staying. DH tried to take a shift but she screamed. We wound up letting her get up and wear herself out then I rocked her to sleep - now onto that wine!

    She was fine until about 5:30 - which I was okay with.  She is just not herself.  I did take her to daycare - struggling with that but am behind at work.  I hate the WM guilt to begin with - even harder at times like this.
