Last night went something like this:
7:30 - kids in bed
10:30 - adults in bed
11:30 - Tracey has coughed for an hour straight so Jordan moves downstairs
1:23 - Tracey has coughed for 3 hours straight and not slept. She looks at the clock for the last time she can remember so presumably falls asleep soon after.
2:35 - Asher wakes up screaming. Tracey has a cough lozenge glued to the side of her lip.
3:30 - Asher is still screaming, waking Nolan. Jordan hears from downstairs and comes up to help.
4:45 - Asher has fallen asleep but Nolan is now in the parents' room - inconsolable. Jordan goes back to bed downstairs (needs to work in the morning)
5:45 - Nolan is finally asleep in the playpen next to the parents' bed. Tracey thinks she can finally get to sleep!
6:15 - Tracey looks at the clock, still coughing. Gets up to take cough medicine for the third time. Presumably falls asleep sometime after that.
7:02 - Rio is awake and the day begins.
BOOOOOO. Sometimes being a parent is HARD! No sleep and a cough? Come on!
Oh my gosh Tracey. That sounds like a rough night. Have you ever tried cough syrup with codeine? Seriously the best stuff ever when you have a cough that won't go away (and it helps you sleep). You can ask for it - it is behind the counter. Hope you have a better night tonight :-)
