Exhaustion.

Spencer is sick. He came home from my in-laws' house yesterday with a fever, and he was kind of sleepy and sedate all evening yesterday. So this morning I took him to the doctor just in case he had an ear infection, but they said that he didn't, and they tested him for RSV and he didn't have that, so we've decided that he just has a cold. But today has been worse than yesterday, because I took him to daycare and he cried the whole time he was there and wouldn't sleep and his fever came back. So I worked for 4 hours and then came and picked him back up and took him home. I've tried saline drops, but he's so snorty I know he's having a hard time breathing. I fed him and tried laying him down but all he did was cry for 20 minutes, so now he's in the swing and hopefully he'll be able to take a nap in that.

In the meantime, he's exhausted; I'm exhausted. I had to get up and get him ready this morning so I could drive out to Trinity to the doctor's office (not my regular office, but they had an earlier opening at that one so I made the trek) and then drive him to daycare and got to work by 10. I worked my butt off while I was there, so hopefully I won't be too far behind. And hopefully he's a little bit better by tomorrow so daycare can keep him. I can't lose anymore time from work. It just piles up.

Well, it looks like his eyes are drooping so I'm going to have some lunch and maybe take a nap myself before he wakes up. Hopefully he'll sleep longer than 2 minutes, which is what he was doing at daycare.

**update: He slept for 10 minutes, and has spent the 2 hours since crying. Someone, dear God stop the crying!
