Winter blues

I know this is old news, and I've probably mentioned it before, several times more than likely, but I need a vacation. A vacation from what you say? I know I know. As a sahm, what have I got to need a vacation from? I'm home all day with my children, the activities that I am involved in are all voluntary and of my own volition. I have no literal boss over my head pushing me for deadlines.
And still, I need a break. We have had constant sickness in this house since new year's. The latest and worst round has been with my youngest, my just turned 3 year old daughter. She has had consistently infected ears for months, we had new tubes put in and her adenoids taken out this past Tuesday. For the previous 5 days she'd been running a temp, and vomiting, and we contributed it to the over infection of her ears, and thought of Tuesday as our saving day, where once it was over and she was out of surgery, she'd be all better and we could resume life as planned. Well, surgery went fine, her hearing was restored, her pain lessened, she was fine for Wednesday and Thursday, and then on Friday she was sick again. This time, I was in the middle of MOPS, and she vomited all over me. No fun at all. So we spent Friday, Saturday, Sunday nursing high fevers and vomiting, and finally Sunday morning went to the ER because she could not keep any liquids down, and hadn't eaten any food since Thursday. 4 hours later, we were home with some prescriptions for nausea, a lowered temperature, and we took long naps.
It's just been exhausting. It is amazing how much a sick child can take out of you as a parent. I feel horrible for her. She just can't seem to shake this. She doesn't understand what's happening to her body, she just knows it hurts and mommy can't make it go away.

I'm ready for spring. I'm sooooo ready for warm sun, blooming trees, flower planting time, time to be outside. These kids are ready for it too.
