Where's my ???!!!?!?Ujfkdjslk? Medal?

I am pretty freakin' sure that Mothers with sick kids deserve medals. I know I'm going to say it, and I'm going to go there.
I don't know about you all but having sick kids sucks. Not because they are sick and you feel horrible for them but because it is emotionally, physically draining on all parties involved.
Carys is super sick. She has a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), that was Thursday then today (Saturday) we head to the E.R. because shes not getting better. So now she also has strep throat and a viral infection which has caused these white canker sores in her mouth...ugh. Shes on two antibiotics, and has to have tylenol and motrin nonstop because her fever spikes so fast and so high. Let me tell you, I'm exhausted shes up nonstop during the night so sick or crying or fever high, she needs you to wait on her during the day and take care of her, and then there is the pleading in which to get her to take her meds, which could just about drive me to jump off the nearest bridge. I try sweet talking, I try rationalizing, I try bribes, I try the if you don't take it you have to go to the hospital and they'll give you shots, anything, by this time so much time has lapsed that her fever is back up her throat is killing her and I'm enraged. I love her but I cant handle the constant crying and the why do I have to take them questions??
So back to what I was saying...I love my kids, I LOVE THEM, I am crazy about them, but when they are sick, holy cow, they could seriously drive me to drink at times. I know shes miserable, and shes hurting and she just feels horrible, but she doesn't have to remind me ALL day long and cry. I can handle sick, I cant handle whining and the crying. Plus shes a mean sicky. She gets mad at me and yells at me when she has to take her medicine, not a pretty picture. Plus, I have three other kids I'm trying to take care of and feed, and love and help and that's pert near impossible at times.
So please hear me, bring on my medal, I don't care if its real or you got it at the dollar store, whatever, I just need to be and feel validated in this mission of motherhood.
So I'm off to deal with the next crisis that should occur and put on my mommy face and be sweet and loving to her and remember she didn't ask for this and I know in a few days this will all be over and she and I will be back on top of our game so to speak. Until then....
