My mother used to tell me just wait until you have kids and you will know exactly what I have to go through with you and your brothers. I heard that when any of us did not want to listen when someone caused some sort of chaos, and especially when we were sick and did not want to take medicine or stay in bed.
I just waived it off and now I wish I would have listened to her because I think she put a curse on me. Hannah wants to be everywhere and do everything even though has been throwing up and I have had to change her diaper so many times I have lost count. She goes through spurts where she is fine then within seconds she is back to projectile vomiting. The apartment looks like a battle zone.
Jake stayed up with her last night because I needed to sleep and went to work this morning. I know he is falling apart and is probably grumpy as hell. He also stayed with Hannah yesterday because I had a bunch of meetings that I had to go to so he really had his fill of what I have to go through today except for one thing I have to take her to the doctor.
"Hannah lets get dressed."
"No." She said as she just played with her toys.
"Please for mommy."
"No." I could not even get her to look at me.
"Please, I will get you candy."
She stopped playing for a second and seemed deep in thought. She's one and is also Jakes child so she loves sugar so I knew that would work. She got up and came over to me, she was going to cooperate. Maybe I do win as a parent even if I did have to bribe her.
She was going downhill again. She was making that face. Then the next thing I know I am wearing vomit.
"Bath time first then we are going to the doctor."
Thanks for the curse mom. Really thanks. I just hope Jake is having a better day.
