A Bit of Randomness
Most people go through life dreading they'll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They've already passed their test in life. They're aristocrats. --Diane Arbus

It's Been a Long Week
A very long week, indeed.
The annoying cough that I had most of last week blossomed into a full cold just as Dylan decided it had been awhile since she had had a cold. So she and I have been in the house for the vast majority of the past week (she's been just sick enough and with just enough of a fever that I didn't want to take her out and about). And on the last nice week of weather we're likely to get.
Did I mention how long of a week it's been?
As it seemed we were feeling better, I thought a short excursion out today would be a nice change for the two of us. But, alas, it was not to be. Dylan was just way too tired or sick or something else that I have no clue about for it to be feasible to leave the house. Again. So I was once again home with her while Eric was fabulous enough to go run the errands I had intended too.
(No, Eric rarely gets sick. It's annoying as hell, too. And if by chance he *does* do so, all he has to do is take to bed for the balance of whatever day it is, sleep in a bit the next morning and he's fine. He said it's all his clean living. I laughed and said that the nasty bugs were too afraid to stick around due to what all he's done... but I digress)
You may be asking, "why didn't Eric stay home with the wee small one and let you go out and get some fresh air?" The answer to that, my friends, is because part of Dylan being sick is wanting mommy around. A lot. I've had a shadow all week. Granted, I've really enjoyed snuggling with her but there are times that I'd like to leave the room to say, I dunno, get some water or go to the bathroom without having my daughter get all hysterical.
I know this is a temporary state but I still feel horrible about getting angry at a 15 month old. I dind't take it out on her (of course not - I reserve random tirades for my husband. Isn't he the lucky one??). But after so much togetherness...*sigh*
But at least cleaning was done and bills paid and I am actually feeling better. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the cough medicine with Codeine...
And now I'm off to enjoy more reading and time with Eric...
