h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So I discovered that N, my three year old, has come down with a cold last night. He woke several times and I had to hold him with his head up. Stuffy noses don't make for good sleep. So I had minimal sleep last night. Lately that's been par for the course. I seem to always have one or both kids in bed and it's pretty crowded. My husband sleeps in another room due to his snoring and to get a decent night's sleep before waking very early each workday. I woke up feeling awful this morning and didn't revive until my shower was complete. It took a long time to work up the energy to depart from the bed though.

And so N spent most of the day in a rush playing hard and being cranky at the same time. If it hadn't been for his runny nose and nasty cough, I wouldn't have suspected he was that sick. He was like a windup toy that was wound too far. He did go to sleep earlier tonight, partly with assistance from paracetamol. He managed to scratch the inside of his mouth before bed and was very distraught for about five minutes. And now he is asleep, hopefully for the night since we have to be out of the house early tomorrow.
