Yeah, I know, my Blog's title is pretty lame huh? But after ALL the dramas it took to get here, I like it! And it amused me... AND it appealed to my screwed-up OCD sense of order.

I'm a single SAHM with a 14-going-on-40 daughter named Tomika.

I have two cats who are as much a part of the family as my child, a girl named Boofie, and a boy named Milkshake. (And, now I sound like a crazy cat lady. Great!)

I used to have an old 1985 Mazda 323 that made a god-awful sound that I *think* was the muffler about to go on a separate vacation from me and the rest of the car. So I bought a new car. And it happened again. Go figure.

I just bought my first house at the tender young age of 37(!). When I signed the contracts I went home and vomited. Yeah I know, TMI right? But I figured if you've made it this far, you obviously want to know all the little tit-bits of my life. This is me.

Oh... And I have Bi-Polar. Hence the Befuddlement.

Despite being the best writer in my class pretty much through my entire schooling career, I have somehow resisted going back to it after having become a mum, and going into the 'REAL WORLD'. I guess I always wondered if I still had it, but was a bit frightened to find out unless I failed.

I finally figured out that if I fail, I might as well do it as spectacularly as possible.

This blog started out in an attempt to keep up the appearance of being "normal", but it turned into so much more.

Now, it keeps me sane.

Call The CDC, This House Is A Quarantine Zone!

I haven't had two minutes to stop and smell the roses this week. Tomika has been sick as a dog with a virus. So the Doctor says anyway. The poor little bugger has had a sore throat, cough, runny nose, aching limbs, and her asthma has been really, really bad. So bad in fact, that I have had her sleeping in my bed so that I can keep an eye on her during the night.

Neither of us has slept much, her because she can't breathe, and me because I'm too scared to sleep in case something happens and I don't catch it in time. Needless to say, we are both exhausted, her being worse, obviously.

She's finally asleep, for the moment anyway, and I thought I'd take a sec to myself to come on and update here before I'm back on duty. If she's still this bad tomorrow, I'm taking her into the hospital.

Bloody hell... Nobody ever told me that being a Mum would be this terrifying!

2 Clever Observations:

  1. Oh, poor thing. I'm sorry she isn't feeling well. Hope the doctors can give her something to heal her quickly.

  2. Awww poor kid. My eldest has asthma too. She had Bronchitis for 6-8 weeks. It took a long time for her to get better but she finally did. She slept in our room on the floor for a few nights. I sure hope Tomika gets better soon.
