I had a whole long post written out on how depressing my life is at the moment, but it was too, well, depressing. So I deleted it. Here's the short version.
Jason is deployed and I'm at home all day with a sick baby. We haven't been out of the house in over a week for anything other than grocery shopping and doctors appointments and I am going insane! We still have another week of not being able to go to play group just in case Jackson is contagious.
So I'm bored and lonely. I feel horrible that Jackson is so miserable but I'm also getting irritated. It's day 5 of nonstop clinginess and crying. I can't even get up to go to the bathroom without him screaming his head off. And sleep? Yeah, neither one of us is getting much of that.
I want Jackson to get better. I want him to be the happy little kid that he usually is. I want to have a real live conversation with another adult, not just over the phone or internet. I want to be able to get out of this house! And I want Jason to come home already, even though he just left last week.
I hope Jackson calms down long enough for me to watch the season finale of LOST tomorrow night! And I hope you're all having a much better weekend than I am!

25 love me:
Ugh. Sorry such a lame weekend. I hope Jackson starts to feel better soon.
I know it has to be trying to deal with him being sick with no sleep.
xoxo
Oh no I hope that things get better... Sending hugs!
Awww, that stinks for you and the little guy. Praying you guys feel better soon. We've had a week of the sickies too and it is the pits.
I'm sorry! I hope Jackson feels better soon! Thinking of you...
awww I hope jackson feels better soon...it's no fun when little ones are sick...
I'm sorry you're having such a rough time! That sounds incredibly frusterating.
I'll keep you two in my prayers!
Bummer. Hope things look up soon. Whiny clingy kids can be difficult.
路過--你好嗎..很棒的BLOG..............................................
That stinks that he is sick! I hope he gets better soon! It's never fun having a sick baby...at all! How long is Jason deployed?
Oh no, nothing is worse than a sick kid!
I hope he starts feeling better soon!
Oh honey! I wish we lived in the same town, because I'd totally come over and help you out. A sick kid is the worst; dealing with one by yourself even worse.
Hang in there!
Awww, I'm so sorry. I wish I could help in some way. I can empathize with the bored/lonely/irritated feelings though... my husband deployed last week as well, and I'm stuck at home with two puppies who aren't happy that he's gone and have forgotten all of their training. Sigh. At least I can put them in their crates and get away for a while!
I hope Jackson feels better soon and you can get some downtime!
Girl I am sorry he is feeling so bad. If it shines a little light for you I have some books on their way so you will have some good reading material soon!
You may not be able to make it to play group, but take little man outside anyway. Even when my kids are sick (vomiting the exception) If I take them to the park (tricycle ride etc) for some fresh air they seem to forget they are feeling bad for a little while and then when we get home they crash for a nap. No promises, but it works for me.
Hugs
I feel bad that I didn't just come stay with you when I got out of school instead of getting a stupid job =[ Oh well. Things will get better soon [I hope] and you will be home in like a week or two. Just think of that as the light at the end of the tunnel! Love ya.
Sending you ((HUGS)) and praying that Jackson will be better very soon. Can you DVR/tape Lost to watch when he is sleeping? I can't wait to see it but then I will miss it.
Definitely feel you on this one. I've been stuck at home with chickenpoxed kids. And it's pouring with rain outside. And it's nearly winter (I'm in NZ) so it's cold.
Great blog! I hope Jackson gets better soon and that you get a break.
What a tough week! I hope he feels better soon.
I love that you hope he gets better in time for Lost, because I would have said the same thing about House.Sometimes those superficial sitcoms can pull you out of a serious funk! I hope everything gets better.
I often do that - I type out a long post and then just delete it. I think the writing part is therapeutic and helps you cope with things but by then you're all emotioned out and don't need to share it anymore! I'm not a mum (yet) but I have absolutely heard people say that before - that they just need adult, intelligent interaction after a while. Good luck with finding some and happy SITS day!
Well, at least it's your SITS day. That should brighten an otherwise crummy week. Keep the faith... this too shall pass.
My heart was just breaking for you as I read your blog. It brought back memories of a very similar experience with a sick child. But as they say, "This too shall pass." And I hope by the time you read this, it has.
