DH has been out of town since Monday. Avery has been running a temp of 103 since Monday, Ella is so far sickie free but she is everywhere all at once...she beats her brother at that age hands down for getting into things she's not supposed to. She literally has one speed - fast. Then we have our new puppy who is adorable and I love him to death but he is still a puppy and has entered that very rambunctious puppy stage.
Not a few times today..the thought that I should have had kids in my 20's instead has passed my mind lol..I'm totally worn out :p

LOL, I'm in my 20s and still wonder what was I thinking. They are 20 months apart and then the new puppy. The one that acts like a baby waking up threw out the night. The one that prefers to sleep on my chest. I've actually given up and slept on the couch with him on my chest just to get some sleep.

Hang in there. The weeks almost over, right?!?
I am 25 with 3 & 1 year old girls, the oldests only speed is --bossy, my way-- & the little ones speed is --super busy, super fast--, we don't have a puppy, but there's the big wiggly worm almost ready to be born baby in the belly. This mommy is also completely exhausted.
There are days when daycare/preschool & working at a job outside the home sounds so tempting...

Hang in there! I had my girls in my late 20's and it's no better. ;) The puppy is like having a third child - so you do have 2 under the age of 1 1/2 - so think about it that way.
Wish I could help more. :) Hang in there - it's Friday!!

Yeah..I know it's still exhausting whatever age you are...I think though I just had more energy when I was younger kwim?
DH comes home today but then he's got guard drill all weekend which is just great. DS's fever seems to have finally broken today...I got a little more sleep last night which was good...so feeling better today :)

Glad to hear you got some rest & the little ones fever is better...that always makes getting through the long days easier.
