What’s worse than a baby, with four teeth coming in at once, sick with the flu with a mom who’s sick with the flu and a dad who has to work during the weekend?

Having a baby with four teeth coming in at once who is also sick with the flu with a mom who’s sick too and the dad having to go to work on the weekend while they are home sick and when the dad comes home at 5pm from work on Sunday realizing that your sewer line is backed up and water is running from your kitchen sink down into your basement and into your electrical box!!!!!

So that was Sunday.

Today, things were moderately better. Kevin called into work and told them he was taking a day off. After much cursing and exclaimations of disgust, he managed to unplug the sink line and we have a kitchen sink. However, the munchkin spent the whole day in our arms screaming and/or coughing with mucus running out her nose at an alarming rate. She was inconsolable. I spend much of the day curled on the sofa trying not to cry myself while my own nose ran and my lungs were racked by a wicked cough.

Tomorrow Kevin has to go back to work and I don’t know if I’m going to make it on my own. I suppose it really depends on how good of a sleep I get tonight. Munchkin was up most of the night crying last night and when I wasn’t trying to calm her down I was lying in bed listening to her sobs.

Please, can someone fast forward through this week to the weekend? It’s only Monday and I’m already hanging on by the utmost tips of my fingernails…..
