Cabin Fever Randomness

I’ve been missing for a few days because poor little Dawson has an ear infection. It started on Monday when I realized he was sick again, but didn’t figure out that it wasn’t just another cold until he kept saying, “what?” whenever I said anything to him. Coupled with the fact that he was whiny, clingy and not sleeping well, I knew something was up and took him to the doctor.

Turns out he probably had the ear infection for a week or more and I just didn’t know. I’m waiting for Dr. Phil to knock on my door and tell me I’m a terrible mother. I felt like total shit, but after getting a prescription for some pink goop that Dawson refused to take willingly, I’d say I’ve been given a fair punishment.

After four days of medicine (amoxicillan), Dawson is feeling better, but I’m wiped out. Yes, I’m still sleeping a lot. And after talking to my sweet bloggy friend, I now realize pregnancy induced narcolepsy is a real thing. I was just trying to be funny in my last post (because I still think it’s INSANE that I’m so damn tired…STILL), but now I feel like a total dork.

The weather is on the warm side today, it’s somewhere in the high 30′s-low 40s and I hope it stays this way. I’m so over winter. I’m sick of the stuffy noses, the dry skin, the gloomy days and I really think I need a good dose of sunshine to cure my winter blahs. Also, Dawson keeps talking about how he wants the sun to come out and melt all the snow so that he can ride his bike.

I think the poor kid has cabin fever. I do, too.

Hurry up, Spring!
