Some days............

Some days you wake up feeling tired and wish the alarm clock breaks down. Ignorance is bliss. Some days you wake up ready to go. These few days has been extremely tiring for both hub and myself. Ashlynn has suddenly come down with flu. Too much mucus stuck in a nose and when it flows down she gets choke and b4 we know it she was a 'Merlion' at 9pm on a Mon nite. Gosh.....it pains to hear the agony cries and see the discomfort of her trying to zz but yet fear of even to lie down.
It was to the doc last nite and it has been sleepless nite due to us getting up to put her into position the moment she cries and it sound like her suffocating.
Morning i hate to wake but to motivate both hub and me, I'll smile stupidly in the mirror and tell him its a Wed, middle of the week and it will get better today. Hopefully it works, but hub will smile and we will try to forget the tiredness and work our way to survive the Wed.
Haha.....self-deceive at times but I think once in a while we all need this to keep ourselves and the ones around going.
Hub is more straight in the face. He says in sms "Mumsy its going to be tougher today, but hang on ok? Love you..." Jus a msg will make me hang on....such a silly me.

Absence

Hub was away in Thailand for work for the last 4 days. Gosh....I was to be alone with Ashlynn. I enjoy the idea but at the same time I must confess that Hub helps to comfort her if she does cry in the middle of the nite. This usually takes place at 4.30AM.
I decided it will be a 4 day summer retreat back at my mum's place. Ashlynn had a splendid time. With so much love and constant attention, she eats and sleep well so not to mention there was a sudden weight increase too. I'm quite happy. She sleeps by 9pm too. But its the wee hours in the nite that can be a worry. She got up on all 3 nites that we were sleeping there. Twice I had to give her milk before she fell asleep again and at times it took near an hour.
Was it too much fun?? Or was it becoz it was a new environment? Beats me, but I'm quite glad she is back in her own bed now and hopefully I get a good nite's sleep.
I was kind of like a single mother the last 4 days. I really salute to those who's husbands are constantly on the go and they handle everything themselves. Also really appreaciate hub's presence. As the saying goes " Absence makes the heart grow fonder"
Yippeee..hub is coming back tonite!!!!!
