Ookie Mouth

So we went camping... that's another post for another day... and everyone in the world wanted to hold my sweet boy. I'm not that paranoid of a mom- but God I wish I would have been. Someone, somewhere along the line this last week got my boy sick. It started out simple enough... runny nose, grumpy little man wanting to cuddle. Later that night it was full blown misery, 100+ fever and worried mama. Dom is a pretty good little sleeper but while he was sick he was waking up every hour or so and just whimpering/crying until I could get him to go back to sleep. To make matters worse- this was a week that Armando was out of town....
Oh wait, you didn't know about that?! Well with his new job Mondo has to be training in other states... Monday through Friday for the last two months. Lame as hell, I know.
... So I'm doing all this on my own. Yes, I know I have family close by; Yes, I know that they offer help all of the time- It just takes so much time and effort. I have to pack up mine and my son's stuff, haul it over to someone's house and then pack it all back up to go home. If there was a nice way to say, "Don't really want to hang out, but feel free to drop off some food!" I would have done it in a second- alas, there is no way to say that without sounding like a D bag so I was on my own for three days. I watched a lot of Netflix with a hot, doped up little guy on my chest and ate a lot of Campbells and spaghetti.
Some good things did come out of my stay with a sick little guy, I got lots and lots of snuggles. He learned to lounge- he has always either been sitting straight up or lying down- when he was feeling crummy he would just sag into whatever he was next to- now he does it and looks like a chill little dude. He also hasn't slept on my chest since he was a newborn- but for some reason all he wanted to do while sick was put his little head on my chest and snooze the day away- I wasn't complaining, it's one of the best feelings ever.
Lot's of Tylenol later, my poor boy is feeling much better and everyone is healthy in the Solis household.
