The Flu, Lack of Sleep, and Deadlines
They don't mix. None of them.
Child was gracious as he could be trying to get to sleep last night and then vomiting all over me and his entire bed. Clean that all up, and it happens again. Every hour. Until 7 am this morning. At least after the 3 am vomit he just fell over in exhaustion. Rolling over and vomiting on the hour with little more than a moan.
Not being able to stand the vile smell, nor wanting to sleep in a sea of vomit myself, I cleaned (as every mother does) after each episode Rinsing sheets, getting new towels, a bucket, changing my shirt, his shirt, etc... til 7 am this morning. Short reprive until 10:30 when it started again.
Thank God he went down for a nap. And is still napping.
I should be napping. But I am deadlining. I can't complain too loud... I'm well over half way through the book now. Page count is increasing. And, I am still going strong. Let's hope the nap lasts another hour. I just might be able to go to bed early knowing I can get this manuscript ready to go by Monday.
