I had high hopes for today. I was going to get all the dishes done (only yesterday's and today's, but they pile up fast!), run some errands, do my grocery shopping, meet with a member of the bishopric, and clean the bathroom.
What did I end up doing? Well, we all had breakfast, Guy and I got ready to go run some errands, and I had just turned onto University Avenue when I heard gagging in the backseat.
Oh, and was there a lot of gagging. Guy's entire breakfast (eggs, toast, raisins, cheerios, and milk) was dripping down his front. He just gave me a confused look, still holding the cracker he was munching previous to the incident.
We came home, cleaned him up, cleaned the carseat (that was an ordeal I don't want to repeat), and tried to keep him calm and give him some fluids.
Josh left for school, and Guy threw up five times in the space of two or three minutes on my living room carpet.
I spent the rest of the day trying to keep my baby hydrated and happy. Which meant way more TV than we usually watch, and lots of cuddling. But no dishes. And no errands. And no cleaning.
And can I tell you? I'm exhausted from it.

hi.
I'm sorry about your day! We have hard days sometimes and it's hard not to wonder, "why me?" I know I do, all the time. Just keep in mind that if we didn't have bad days, we wouldn't have good ones either.
Give yourself a break. The more you get down on yourself, the less happy you will be! You don't have to be perfect....it's ok if the dishes and the laundry sit there for a day or so....or a week. Do your best and call it good. Your heart and your attitude is all that matters...so have a better day today. :)
Oh man, Em! I hope guy is feeling better! Sick babies are no fun. They are so confused and sad and you feel like there's not a lot you can do for them. No "talking it out" or such. Just what you said - cuddling and watching TV. The cuddling helps the mama, too, I've discovered.
