Emotionally drained!

Both of the kids are sick. They've been sick for over a week now. If you don't have kids, or your child has never been sick (which is unlikely), let me tell you it is so frustrating. I can't even describe how frustrating it can be, but I will try. It would be like waking up late and your only clean pair of jeans don't really fit, because you're bloated. So you squeeze into those jeans, then stumble to the living room and stub your toe on the couch, because you couldn't see your foot underneath your new muffin-top. When your finally dressed, you run out of the house late, and forget to grab your keys and lock yourself out of your house. So you call a locksmith, pay $35 to unlock your door. You grab your keys, jump into your car only to find that your car is on empty. Run to the gas station and your debit card has a giant scratch down the magnetic strip and now it's not working. The bank isn't open on Sunday's, so what are you going to now. Your thinking I would run home and have a meltdown, right?! Well it's just not that easy when you have kids. You contemplate locking them in their bedrooms, but the neighbors would hear them screaming to get out. That would make future neighbor-to-neighbor conversations a bit awkward. lol. Oh, but seriously i'm drained. Damn near empty. You can't really discipline sick children like you would healthy children, because you understand that they are sick and they can't communicate what is wrong with them. It's difficult. So for every mom that has lived through seasonal colds, the flu, teething, and every other ailment known to pediatricians, I tip my hat to you. It's definately not easy being emotionally defeated by someone half your size, but you have managed to cope and better days are ahead...
