update

last night was a crazy night for me. cole was awake at 1:30 screaming. so i gave in and gave him a bottle to calm him down. he's been sick all week and the mucus in his chest and nose is finally breaking up and he's coughing it up. do you get the picture? Ha. anyhow, he went back to sleep finally after 2:00. then he awoke again just before 6:00 screaming. so i get up AGAIN, and fix him another bottle but he doesn't want to go back to bed. so i pop in a baby einstine dvd and he watches with glee and i try to grab some zzzz's on the couch. well, that lasted till about 7:30 when i turned on PBS. he watched that till sesame street came on and began crying again. soooo, i made him his favorite breakfast, oatmeal with applesauce, and he only at half. then he played for a while only to start crying again. so i gave him some tylenol and put him down to bed. tonight, i will administer the cough syrup (i didn't give it last night cuz he wasn't coughing as much) and tylenol and see if we both can get some shut eye.

i have to brag on my husband. he had to leave the house this morning at 4:30 am. with that in mind, he got up when he heard me in the kitchen giving cole his 1:30 am bottle and wanted to know if i needed help. what a sweety. i was trying to be quiet (but i forgot to shut our door). i just told him to go back to bed and i had it covered. he was so sleepy when the alarm went off at 4:00. i had only been asleep for about an hour due to my coughing. i am so tired now. so i must go and take a nap. :) i pray this is over soon! and life can get back to some normalsy.

be praying that i can sell all my junk i just posted on our local version of ebay. we need to downsize and save money for moving, christmas, etc. :)
