On the mend

So, I challenged myself to write three or four times a week and then I went missing! Want to know what happened? I had a rough week ... not just me, though. Colt Buddy got a cold ... and as it got worse, he stopped sleeping. He tried to sleep, but this sweet, sad little whimper persisted to come out from him. So, I didn't sleep either. And after one night of that, I made sure Denny didn't sleep either. In hindsight, I should have just let Denny sleep. It would have saved some tension. I hope I remember that for next time.

To top it off, I had a big group project due in my class, and we have several big deadlines looming at work. Last week was just very stressful, and the fact that I survived it was just short of a miracle.

For the record, Colt had an ear infection. They discovered it three days after his initial trip to his doctor's office. The doctor who diagnosed him told me that sleep problems are often a better indicator of an ear infection than little tykes pulling on their ears. Good to know!

Colt is on the mend and I am, too. I had some good cries; said many prayers and my happy little world is back in order. I hope I am able to cope better with the next challenging week.

I promise to write better posts soon!
