cough – Mummy To Twins Plus One

Hi, everyone.

I’ve been sick and it is not going away.

I am a little better than I was but there is a cough that is not going away, and I also to feel constantly tired, runny nose, and a sore throat. Yep, not well at all!

Just a note to anyone dealing with this horrible flu…If you have too much cough syrup you get diarrhoea!

I had a few days of a cough not stopping and I overdosed on the cough medicine and ended up with a very sensitive belly. Just what I needed, another issue to deal with, and one that means that leaving the house is not a good idea.

Why is it not possible to just curl up and sleep for a while.

Why do I have to leave the house at all????

The problem is that I know the why.

I need to take kids to school and pick them up, plus after school activities. I need to look after my little boy and take him to care for the two days that he goes per week.

On the days that the kids and baby have been at school and care I have tried to rest. However due to being sick and not being able to do chores the house looks like a bomb has gone off.

Yesterday after the baby finally went to bed I folded and put away all the clothes that were waiting to get sorted. Now I can see and use the lounge. A small win really. Although after this effort I really wanted to have a nap. The nap did not happen as I needed to go pick up kids and go to the shops.

Are you currently struggling with the flu?

This year has been a horrible year with many people getting ill and the flu is meant to a horrible strain that knocks you out for a while.

It is just a pity that I don’t have a helper that can step in for me while I get better. A clone of me would be ideal. I could just power up the clone version of me and they can do everything while I rest and get better.

Let me know how you are coping if you are sick.

Yes, finally in seperate beds

Tonight I heard cries from the girls bedroom, I ran in to find out what the issue was. Lillian was in tears and yet again sharing Julia’s bed. For weeks we have not been able to seperate them, they just want to be together always. Julia is a bit out of sorts due to a cough and seems to be generally unwell but not that sick, Lillian not sure what the issue was, but took it she wanted more room.

I told Lillian that she could go back to her bed to get more room and to have a better sleep. She nodded, yes, maybe it will work tonight. Managed to get Lillian to her bed minus one of her toys, one of the bummies. Found it and got her to bed. Julia was then awake and as I had changed Lillian’s nappy I did the same for Julia. Tucked her in, added some ecuplitics oil to her sheets and then she latched onto my hand and fell to sleep. Made a get away when she rolled over.

Phew, now kids are finally in bed in their own beds. Thought it was not going to work at one stage, as Julia freaked out and wanted to know where Lilian was. Explained and she went back to sleep.

Hope that this will be the same for tomorrow night, sleeping in their own beds. We will see. Do your children/twins want to sleep together? Has this closeness caused issues in other areas when they get older. I fear that the girls might not want to be seperated when the other might want to do something different. That is ages away at this stage, so would just like to focus on getting to pre-school at this moment.
