the down and dirty

So I'm not really all cheerful and hopeful all the time. Quite frankly, these past almost 7mo have nearly done me in. I just want to throw my arms up in defeat. What am I doing wrong here?

Before we could even see if the prilosec would work for Katie she spiked a damn fever again. It's 103 right now. And the prilosec? It's tastes so terrible that she gags and chokes when we give it to her. It's terrible. Just watching us give it to her made Kelton cry.

Speaking of Kelton, how many medications am I going to have to put him on before he gets better? Why are his allergies so bad, the ear infections, the asthma?

And you know one of the most terrible and shitty things about colic, reflux and sick kiddos? Fighting with your husband. Unless you've been there, you can't imagine the stress, the sheer exhaustion and frustration.

I want my life back.

Without these hard times, we can't possibly know what the happy times are. Thinking about you! ♥
