Ear infection!

Let me just start by saying that ear infections STINK! We are so blessed that Cale went almost 14 months without one, but many last weekend was not so much fun at all. And poor Cale felt miserable with a high fever, runny nose, irritability and not being able to sleep. 3 nights of almost no sleep and 3 days of no naps just about did this momma in! Thank goodness it is over and Cale is feeling back to himself. I seriously was ready to throw in the towel, admit defeat and run away by Sunday. Or course I would never actually do that, but isn't it amazing how as parents we sometimes just get so overwhelmed and exhausted that we have moments where we think parenting stinks. I guess that's just part of life. Then a few days later I feel guilty for even feeling that way, but it's just me being honest. There are days like last weekend, that I just don't like being a parent. And then on days like that I think are we crazy enough to want another one someday? It's hard enough with 1! But then you remember that these moments are fleeting and the joyous ones far outweigh the not joyous ones! I truly am thankful for Cale who blesses, even in the times when this parenting thing is not so easy and really hard. Let's hope we don't get anymore ear infections for a while!
