Will this week ever end??

This has been a very long week. Last weekend we pretty much hung out around the house, none of us were feeling that well. So I started out the week going to work not feeling that great still. On Tuesday I went to a funeral for a mother of 3 young children. It was the first funeral I have attended since my mom's almost 5 years ago. I really tried to prepare myself to try to stay strong for this special child in my life that I knew needed me to be strong on this day. I tried to think of what I could say to a 6 year old who was going through this horrible time in her life. I started thinking about my mom's funeral and realized how so much of that week seems like such a blur to me. I really only remember certain parts of that week. I guess that is a good thing; because I would rather remember the good memories with my mom. My hope is that this family will remember the good times and not so much of this sad week they are going through and the sad months to come.
On Wednesday morning, Ms. Lynda called to say that she was sick and could not babysit. I stayed home with Kade. He had a very runny nose since Sunday and had been tugging a little at his ears, but he had not really had any fever. I took him to the doctor and he had an ear infection in both ears. Poor little guy! Ear infections had been one of my biggest fears. My cousin Tonya's kids had the hardest time with ear infections and I was so scared for Kade to get one. The doctor gave him an antibiotic and also checked him for the flu. No flu thank goodness!
The doctor's office was packed with so many little sick kids. Last night Kade slept off and on, he kept waking up crying and pulling his ears. I gave him some Motrin to try to help the pain. It is so sad to see him sick. I am home with him again today. He has actually been pretty tough through the whole thing playing and wild as usual. We have had some fun play times the past two days; I have to admit I love being at home with him, I just wish it wasn't because he was sick.
This has been a very long week. I am ready for the weekend and for everyone to be well.
