So So tired

The last few days have been so tiring for our little family.  

Poor baby Luke got sick on Wednesday with Roseola and has been so irritable. 

At first we thought his fever was from teething since the poor little dude is 9.5 months with NO teeth. 

But when we woke up Thursday and he threw up his whole bottle 

all over me I knew it was something more.

All our little friends have been sick so I thought I would just monitor his fever 

and let it run it's course instead of calling the doc. 

Well on Friday he woke up with a horrible red rash covering his body

and I kinda freaked out and called the doctor right away. 

We got in and they told us to give him children's Advil to help with his little achy body 

but we just had to wait it out. 

Well the poor little guy has never been sick and is NOT dealing with this well at all. 

The doctor told us he was no longer contagious so we could take him out if he was up to it. 

Luke does not like being indoors he is much happier outside 

so we decided to take his crankiness to the beach on Sat to enjoy the perfect weather. 

Luke took a little nap in the stroller while 

Brandon and I ate our fish tacos soaking up the quiet and sun for a bit. 

Once Luke woke up he was happy and played for a little 

but within seconds turned abnormally cranky.

So we packed up shop and laid him down

 again when we got home for another snooze (poor guy is so worn out).

We have not dared to leave the house since. 

We knew that there was no way that Luke would sit at church for 5 minutes so we camped out here today and seriously has been the most tiring day of my life.  

I would dare say there was not 10 straight waking minutes 

today where Luke was not screaming. (so sorry neighbors)

I wish I could help him feel better and I miss my little smiley man.  

Sick kids = a really worn out mommy. 

Not to mention I am drowning in a dozen unfinished sewing projects that I have days to finish before sending them off. 

Sure am hoping for a better week come tomorrow. 

Dear Luke, 

Can you get some good long sleep tonight so I can be a good mommy tomorrow?

Oh, and can you be my happy little guy so we can play some games....please please!

Here's to wishful thinking!
