I dont dig

Not everything is peachy keen by any stretch of the imagination. I am constantly day dreaming about how easy things were before I was pregnant when I just had two awesome kids. After over three weeks of being home-bound...I am over it. Alex doesn't care for the sling or ergo for more than 10 or 15 minutes, and does not like the cold wind....and with no stroller we are pretty much limited in our adventures outdoors. The kids are doing really well with staying home. They read, play dress up, do art, play soccer in the front...but I am feeling a bit down and bored.
And my mom was hospitalized after getting a cold which sparked really bad asthma. After 8 days in the hospital she is home but still recovering. We all have to be extremely careful not to bring any sick germs into the house as it would send her right back to the hospital. Kate has her third fever in under a month, and I am fighting off a head cold. So not only are we not allowed in the house, but my parents are unable to help right now.
I am extremely thankful that Adam is so involved and dedicated to helping us. But days are long.
So here is a short list of what I don't dig:
1. I don't dig how Alex is awake for 2 to 3 hours every night between 2 and 5. He is grunting, writhing and uncomfortable with gas

2. I don't dig how I feel like throughout the day I am straightening up and cleaning, only to turn around to find more messes

3. I don't dig how hard it is to get all three kids in the car. In order to buckle Charlie in I have to contort my hand in crazy ways scratching my wrist.

4. I really don't dig that Kate is once again sick and that I have to worry about her touching the baby and getting him sick. My kids are rarely sick...so why now with a newborn and my mom's situation.

5. How completely exhausted I am. I can't function off 3 hours a sleep a night.

Other than that I am fine.
