Icky icks

That's what we have in this house. The icky icks.
Or as The Big Boy says, "I'm not feewing so good. All my parts hurt." Poor little bubba.

And I'm worried The Chica Love is next. I can handle a Big Boy illness. We had our fair share of scares with him when he was an itty bitty, so it's all just par for the course. We roll with it and know it'll pass eventually. The Chica Love isn't even 4 months old yet. I worry. A lot.

Worry is kind of my thing, though. Some people breath oxygen, I eat worry like tic-tacs. If I ever stopped worrying, I'm pretty sure my lungs would collapse and my heart would immediately cease. Or something equally as dramatic (oh, I'm also just a smidge dramatic sometimes. I know, right? Who knew?). So, since the Chica Love coughed like 4 times after the Big Boy had a fever for three days, I have spent hours (no really, hours) reading all the SIDS research I can get my hands on. Not the smartest move I've ever made. For a couple of reasons.

For one, I learned absolutely nothing. Not true. I learned that nobody has any freaking clue and there are a lot of crazy people out there. Some have even claimed SIDS could be the result of vaccinations (::shakes head no::) and that the medical community is suppressing the evidence. Which really leads me to ask: why? Like, where is the logic in that? Really? (I just deleted an entire argument for why this is a stupid hypothesis is ridiculous, but I was rambling. Yes. More so than usual. If you're interested, read this.) So, I really need to know: What is it about vaccines that scare people so badly that otherwise normal people turn into raving Conspiracy Theorists? Whatever. I don't even care. I'm too tired.

So my point, is that between a sick Big Boy and crazy obsessiveness about something I can't control. I've had very little sleep in the last few days. And I have absolutely NO idea what the point of this entire post was. I had a point at the beginning. Now? Not so much.

I guess I can sum up: My kids are sick.
I'm tired. And neurotic.

Oh, and hungry. I also started a new diet.
Yeah. It's only Monday and it's been that kind of week.
Nowhere to go but up?
