Bed.

Wrong side thereof.

Found myself drinking a diet, not caffeine free Pepsi by mistake last night.

Stayed up until 2.

That's when Roo had his first episode of night terrors.

Started to feel sick around 3, lying in bed.

That kid who puked was probably ill with something, because I promptly did likewise.  Several times.

Roo had more night terrors at 4 which Mike dealt with.  6 AM rolls around but I'm still feeling like the mere sight of food or fluids is going to be a bad thing, and Mike has gotten very little sleep, and the Roo is up.

I take Mike to work and Roo to daycare, after two power struggles with Roo and one fight with Mike over something stupid, I can't even remember what now.  Something to do with the car or the rain or maybe the carseat and Robin's positioning in it.

I'm staying home from work today, and huddling under a blanket on the bathroom floor.  It is grey and dreary out, made grey-er and drearier by knowing we were supposed to see Mris & Co tonight.

Dear heart, we will be here when you feel better. Promise. In the meantime, if you need anything, let us know; at least one of us can dart up with soup etc.

Aww, poor you. *brings extra blankets and hugs*

I was going to point out that while it is clearly sad to miss out on seeing M'ris, at least this is an ongoing possibility, and not a one time thing that you're missing out on. And then I went and read M'ris's journal, and she's sick(ish) too, so clearly your sickness picked a good time to come visit, as opposed to when M'ris is all full of health and wants to Do Things.

Awww Stella. :( Nothing is worse than having the pukes. I hope you can at least progress to the bed instead of the floor very soon. ::hugs the Stella::

I hope you feel better soon.

Night Terrors

[(Anonymous)]

Roo too? Gavin's been having them lately and they're driving me crazy. Up at 1:00 saying "There's a ghost." or not going to bed until 11:00 because he's scared of a monster. Do all boys go through this around 3? Siri didn't go through it, but everyone I talk to with a 3 year old boy seems to be experiencing the joys of this. Any thoughts on remedies?

I *wish* there was something I knew to do with this.

For fear of the dark ("There's a ghost", etc), I suggest talking about it, limiting scary movies, and a nightlight.

For sleep disordered night terrors, all you can do is make sure they're not hurting themselves.

We talk about it and he calms down, but it still keeps happening, even though he doesn't really see scary movies, as I don't like them, and he has a nightlight. I think it's just run of the mill nightmares, but for some reason it keeps happening and it's terribly rough on him and us when he wakes up at 1:00 in the morning crying and needing consolation. Ah well, I suppose it's bound to pass sooner or later. Here's hoping yours is sooner rather than later.

Cheers!

Oh, and congratulations on the new house! It's got to be exciting and relieving to have the one picked out.

Feel better!
