The day began at 5:15, when Liam woke up. Exactly three days after HRH came home with a cold, the boy has it. I discovered when I woke up at this ungodly hour in response to the boy’s pitiful wail that so do I. That makes three colds for both of us in the space of four weeks.
I do not operate well on five to six hours of sleep. I’m an eight to nine hour kind of person. There have been very few full nights of sleep for me over the past month, be it due to insomnia, illness, or something unidentifiable that kept waking me up.
Blend all of the above, and you have two cranky people in the house today. Joy.
If you want me, I’ll be in the corner muttering darkly about the injustice of it all.
ETA: Also? The Sympatico web mail log-in thing never works for me. Ever. I hate it. I should be able to access my main e-mail no matter what.
ETA #2: Oh, after an hour of searching in frustration, I discovered that it’s because web access is *not* actually bundled with my regular internet service, like it says all over the place on the web site. I have to subscribe to and pay for an extra service in order to access my mail. I hate corps and badly designed/explained services. ARGH!
I’m on almost no sleep myself, which is hard enough, but being sick on top of that? Yuck. You all have my most heartfelt sympathies, especially you, because while Liam can just give in to being sick, you are the one who has to be sick *and* be a mother at the same time.
Be well (and stay well) very soon.
I sympathize about the sleep. Ben has never adjusted to the time change so, instead of waking me up at 6, he wakes me up at 5. Erg.
As for internet take a look at Vif.com, which is the provider I use.
Thanks for the tip, Steve; I’ll check it out.
