Thank you everyone for all your thoughtful comments. I took my own advice and chilled myself out last night. After I posted I put aside my project for the night and went to bed. I was asleep by 9:20pm. As Apple had fallen asleep early I was expecting a rough night but, she had one of her better ones.
I got a solid two hours of sleep before she woke for the first time. Then another three hours and finally the killer 4am came, fed and went. When she finally awoke for the day Hubby was running late and J was still sleeping. It was a good night. Both Apple and J looked an acted so much better today, but to be on the safe side I took J to the Doctor’s and sure enough he has pink eye. As we have never had it in our house I was feeling badly that he went to school yesterday, but he has been really great about not touching his eyes and when I talked to one of the other Moms she laughed at me and said, “It happens”. Apparently her eldest son has had it every year he has been in school. Man that would suck.
Thankfully I have had the sanitizer our and J has been ‘cleaning’ his hands everytime he sneezed, coughed or touched his face. It became a little game. J would say, “Just a drop, I only need a drop”. So far Apple, myself nor Hubby has it and A wanted to come for dinner tonight so it is his own fault if he gets goopy. Oh yes, and my Mom who was with us yesterday doesn’t have it either. So all my tissue wiping and hand sanitizing seems to be working.
All that said, I have to laugh at myself that I woke up with a kink in my neck. Hubby thinks it was from spending so much time on my pillow, ha, ha, ha. And when we went to the Doctor’s my foot slipped on ice when I was lifting Apple’s car seat out of the truck and I pulled a muscle in my butt. Which made walking difficult today, but funny at the same time.
Speaking of kink. Did anyone see Ray Davies perform on Regis and Kelly yesterday? I got chills listening to him, remembering when I used to listen to the Kinks. It was neat to see as I am not a regular watcher, but tuned in for a minute while feeding Apple. It was great.
Thanks again everyone, I truly feel better today, maybe even just writing about how exhausted I was made me feel better, that happens sometimes.

Awww, glad you’re feeling better girl. Sometimes we just need a time out.
I’m glad you’re feeling better. I hope the pink eye clears up soon. At least it’s not painful! Stay warm!
PS. If you feel up to it, I’ve tagged you for the What’s On Your Fridge Meme. I hope you can participate.
Happy to hear you are feeling better. A step back can really make such a difference eh!
Writing about it always helps, SO glad you are feeling better. Sleep also does wonders.
Sorry to hear about the pink eye though and your kink and pulled butt muscle 😉
It is apple cider vinegar. I’m intrigued by the “beach fries” you mentioned. Do tell.
I’m glad to hear you are feeling better and sorry to hear that have had a bit of rough time. TAke care and have a relaxing weekend – Kellan
I missed your earlier post the first time around, but I can see why you’d be exhausted. I’m glad you took your own advice and had an easy night and more sleep. I find that I can survive without a lot of things, but sleep is NOT one of them!
Take care,
Heidi
Take care of yourself…
I hope all is right as rain with you and your brood soon…
