Yes it is overwhelming at times. We too have been sick it seems like all winter! I have a 3 year old and a 15 month old. We have had the stomach virus 3 times this year! I am wondering if I should call my doctor and ask if I am not doing things right - washing everything in hot water? throw away pacifiers & toothbrushes afterwards?....I don't think we are catching the same bug over and over, but this is getting ridiculous! At the same time I have a sinus thing going on and have been taking Alka Seltzer cold around the clock! One thing I did to make myself feel better the other night was to watch a movie after everyone was asleep. I knew I would be tired the next day and I cried a lot, but it did help. I also went to a youtube video called "the gift of the ordinary day". And that always makes me feel better. If you want the address I will get it to you. It is one way to make you appreciate the little things b/c this time will go by so fast! Good luck and hang in there. Also, putting some nice music on helps too. I watched my son (who I woke up to this morning saying "Mom there is something in my bed" (vomit) at 6:30AM this morning after I was up half the night with my 1 year old and sick myself), playing with his people in the kitchen sink while N. Kidman's husband was singing on the Ellen show. It was a song about how his children and wife were the most important thing to him. It made me cry some happy tears in the midst of all of this sickness and lack of sleep;-))) Best of luck to you;-))
