I feel so exhausty!

That's right. I said it. Exhausty. Not like a car. Like a Mommy who has either been taking care of sick people in her house or been sick herself for the past 3 weeks! Seriously.

First Baby Girl had an ear infection, then we all got Hand, Foot and Mouth. (Now that's a party! You haven't really lived until your daughter has oozing blisters all over her body and canker sores that are each over an inch wide in her mouth. Awesome.) Next, Baby Girl had surgery to have tubes put in her ears, a great time, spectacular really. Later that week Mommy and baby puked their guts out for a few days. And then, to round it all off, The Hubs brought home a gnarly (Yup, I'm pulling out the big slang guns for this bad boy) head cold that he so kindly passed to me. It has nearly devastated my existence.

Let me just say, if we do not have a break from all of this CRAP fairly soon-ish, I am going to lose it! I don't really know what "it" is or if I ever really had "it," but I can guarantee you, "it" will be so gone.

Have I mentioned that we drive 109 miles ONE WAY to take Baby Girl to her Dr appts? Or that last week we took her to the regular Dr twice, the emergency room once and then back to the hospital 4 days later for surgery??? No? Oh, well we did. Do the math. Its something like 872 miles. And that's just miles heading from this little podunk town to the slightly bigger (but much better) town down the highway. It doesn't count the much needed driving around the city (aka: civilization) once we are there. Little things like stopping at Target and hitting up Starbucks since we don't have those where we live. Told you our town was small.

Now, I don't want to sound too complainy. (Yup, went there too.) After all, there are a few Dr's here in town we could take her to. But, we think medical care should not be something you have to wait on for hours or even days, which is often the case with Dr's here in Podunkville. I just wish that instead of having to drive that far, Baby Girl would be healthy and happy! Its my prayer and I'm clinging to it now as I lay her down for bed.



Oh look, she has a fever. Excellent. Sigh


I should have called my blog "The Exhausty Life of Mommy."
