fever

Again, I have sick kids.

Big J with his allergies. H and little J both running fevers--little J's fever scarily high, especially at night, so for two nights I've done a lot of half-sleeping, sponge-bathing, motrin-administering, and a lot of worrying.

Add to this: papers to read, a book chapter to write, clases to run, and sanity to preserve. And the question always is, which will suffer?

The sanity. :)

Have I mentioned lately that I think you're amazing?

Just sayin'.

Sorry; that's a tough situation. I hope your kids--and you--are feeling better soon. And what most people don't get is just how much the half-sleeping makes everything harder, never mind trying to juggle all you've got going on. I never understood that until I became a parent myself.
