I have to admit this and I feel so bad for saying this but when Scott is sick, well I get a little resentful. If he is sick..he can sit in bed, watch TV, relax and not do anything but when I am sick..well it doe snot stop. I could be dying but Max still needs his mom. Yes, there are times that Scott helps when I am feeling ill or he watches Max but I am still the parent that deals with Max on a day to day basis.

I am not having problems taking care of Max and finally, I am not feeling overhwlemed, (*partly because I am learning just to let go) but I find myself pissed at him for having the option to lay around. I sound like such an ungrateful little BI**H but this is a feeling that I have and I thought it would be good to get it out.

Luckily, Max is getting over his cold but this AM I woke with a scratchy throat and so I took my Viatmin C, Aconite (a homeopathic remedy for when a cold is trying to get into your body) and a ton of liquids because THIS MOMMA cannot get sick. Who will take care of me then??

Max is doing much better but in the last few days he is doing the “Vomit Cough”. Put it this way-me beige carpet has 5 huge stains on it from the vomit cough. Other vomit coughs have taken place in the mud room, my babysitters car, on my sons coat and in his highchair about 8 times. Yes, the vomit cough is loved especially by Miss Esther, the Pug. I know it sounds gross but she of course likes to see if any food came up.

So the vomit cough looks like this..

Mommy is playing with baby and baby coughs and then again and then again and then finally he chokes..turns slightly red and then up comes whatever he has consumed in the past few hours. Sometimes I am lucky and it is just his Neocate formula and other times like tonight, it was all of his dinner. YUK! Horray for Miss Esther. No I do not let my dog eat the vomit but by the time I run to the kitchen..well she has inspected it and probably eaten some. UGH!

So hopefully the vomit cough will soon end and Max will be all better.
