It seems to be harder and harder to be ahead of my
assignments lately. I hadn’t been doing too badly, but then life began to
happen again. I got sick and had a back cold which made me not want to do
anything. After that, my daughter got very sick and of course needed more
attention and care. I had been able to do homework after my son was in bed for
the night because my husband would put my daughter to bed. When she was sick,
bed wasn’t as easy as it usually was. Usually we would get her in pajamas and
give her a bottle. She would fall asleep in our arms and we would put her in
her bed. Most nights she would stay asleep for the whole night. If she did wake
up during the night she was able to put herself back to sleep. When she was
sick, she would fight falling to sleep. While drinking her bottle it was hard
to her to breathe, so she would get fussy. She fought sleep because she didn’t
want to be alone or not held. During this time, there was no way that David
could take care of her on her own. I also couldn’t study due to her being very
fussy. I went from being ahead on my assignments to completing them at the last
minute. My daughter also had to be given antibiotics at night time that she
would hate to take. She would try to spit it out when we would put it in her
mouth. If she didn’t try to spit out the medicine, she would start gagging and
make herself throw up. It made evenings lots of fun, and virtually impossible
to do my work. I am attempting to now get back ahead on things, but once you
get behind it is very hard to catch up.
