Is it Friday Yet?

This week has felt long and challenging! First a fever for Caleb, then extreme fussiness on top of teething, and just when things started to get better...A toy gone wrong situation. Caleb has a timer that he was playing with, didn't realize it was glass! Hello. It broke, shattered, blood everywhere. Needless to say trying to stop blood from a glass cut on a finger isn't exactly easy with a toddler. Especially when that toddler doesn't like band aids. Let's just say there was a whole lot of blood, a lolly pop, and an hour later somehow bandages were on. And while all this was happening I happened to notice a rash all over Caleb's back and tummy. Not sure what it's from. My first guess was Roseola, a childhood illness that results in fever for few days then disappears and results in a rash all over back and stomach. But his fever was never that high and the red dots don't like that red, his eczema has never looked like this...
Poor Dave has received many a frantic phone calls from me this week. Sometimes I feel like I'm just not cut out for motherhood. I am not a calm person by nature and trying to remain calm for your one year old while on the inside just in a slight panic is what happens to me. Thank goodness for Dave. He is my calm in the storm. He gently reassures. It could be that I'm extra hormonal, but I've just felt so stressed lately, as though a big brick sits on my shoulders weighing me down. I pray, excerise, and try and have my 'me moments' which help. But sometimes I just wish I wasn't such a worrier! It is one of the biggest things I wish I could change about myself.
Anyway. Just want my little guy to be all better! And as for me, a nice warm soak in the tub and massage from the hubs tonight may be in order!
Here are some pics of our little guy. The ones with his Daddy make my heart melt. It is those moments that make all the ups and downs of parenting worth it!
