The downside of parenthood

What a horrible blogpost title eh? Before this week i would of said "there is no downside of being a parent", me and Craig have never been ones to go out partying, yes sometimes for friends birthdays etc we let our hairdown but were the kind of couple that would prefer to have a natter over a nice meal. Older than our years and all that haha. So there wasnt any kind of 'downside'.

Then this week i got ill. Blergh.The downside to parenthood is that when your ill you've got to soldier on! Yes in between projectile vomitting you've got to soothe your little one and check that their okay, until, if your lucky enough, your OH comes to your rescue and takes over. Luckily for me mine did as my bug left me drained as i stuggle with my iron levels anyway, and with horrible stomach pain for days.

Today he is back at work, it cant be helped their short and we're losing out on money, which since its nearly christmas, jeez louise!! How did that happen? we need so it cant be helped.

Dont get me wrong im still a walking zombie but im putting on a brave smiley face to keep Rio-saurus entertained. Secretly id love to just lay in bed with a hot water bottle and crap daytime tv and snooze but that isnt going to happen. I've trudged on with colds before but Rio was the same so we got to be little nappy lazybums together but this bug malachy is a whole different story!!
