Parents - you can relate. I am on day/night 4 of interrupted sleep.
No, congrats are not in order.
 I do not have a new infant in my home.
Rather, the 8 yr old is sick - started with tummy ache and the incredibly helpful and illustrative "I don't feel good." Okay - what are your symptoms?? "I don't feel good." My first suggestion - stop eating all that Valentine's Day candy from school.
My physical body has always been sensitive to sugar. As a child, if I O.D.ed on sugar (you know, eat a 1/4 lb of the choose your own variety), invariably I would come down with swollen tonsils and high fever within 48 hours. So she obviously has my constitution.
 8 year old symptoms progress as it quickly gets into her sinuses and a harsh cough (not phlegmy, just harsh). So gave her herbs and homeopathic for cough and sinuses. Didn't help - fever set in. Sang Ju Yin - formula for Wind-Heat with cough is helping. She is better but that was wednesday (2:30am-5am cough central).
Thursday night from 1:30am-4am, the 3 year old - wakes me up - I need to pee. Her pee pee is hurting. Great - just what I needed - a UTI in my 3 year old.
IMPORTANT - keep the kids away from bubble baths. I broke the cardinal rule over the weekend and it is coming to bite me where it hurts! I Can't get anything helpful into her in tincture form. D-mannose dissolved in water helps. Next day goes to school, comes home it hurts again. Now we are on to D-mannose, Resolve AI (anti inflammatory/antibiotic) and Urinary Support (uva ursi blend with other herbs),
Last night (thurs up again - she is now back in my bed - Augh!). Sleep from11:30pm-1:30am. Woken up by little one. Wet her bed. Hurts again. Give her herbs. Now awake, hear the 8 yr old coughing. She wakes up at 3am - accident - shift her to different bed. Try to get back to sleep. Unsuccessful. 4:30pm fall back to sleep. Wake up by little one at 6:30am ?!?!?!?!?!!?SDG?VSDG? translate as you see fit. At least her pee pee isn't hurting. Continue with herbs. Remind her not to touch! Tell my partner to continue every 2 hours while I am at work. Leave the house groggy and (okay I admit it) bitter, resentful and grumpy.
I do not do well without sleep!
Leave the house, walking to the car and a whiff of some lovely fragrant flower hits me. I breathe it in - internally smile (to tired to actually do the deed). And thank G-d for the little things.
Time to go facilitate healing in others. Grateful for the reminders of life's blessings, Grateful for all that I have. Hopeful that tonight may be the night that I get one night of uniterrupted sleep. Open to the possibility...
