That's why I get paid the big bucks

As the dark circles under my eyes will attest to, this has not been the easiest week. I can't even believe it is only Wednesday, it feels more like next Friday to me. Leo has been sick for the past few days, something that started while we were away. I think the first clue was when he fell asleep *sitting up* on me while everyone was at the water park. He did this "falling asleep" thing two days in a row, something he hasn't done in several months. We visited Dr. Sherri on Monday, followed by a number of viewings of "Arthur" in my bed because noone had the energy to move. It was only yesterday that I realized that the reason I was feeling so terrible was due to the amount of nursing Leo had been doing since he started feeling ucky. While I am willing to share with the little guy, I keep forgetting that if I don't replenish my fluids, it's kind of hard to function. Today we spent two hours at Dr. Sherri's office, having more blood tests and a urine test. Amelia has learned all about what goes on in the lab..."Mommy, what was that on Leo's pisher?" Turns out, Leo has a pretty pesky virus and the only medicine that works is lots of snuggles and nursing with Mommy. After his nap today, he finally perked up to the old Leo. "Now he's happy!", Amelia kept noting. There hasn't been any playing in our house since we got back from WI. Even though half of the pantry is (again) on the kitchen floor, I am happy to have my Leo back. Of course, the night is young...
