Reasons why I'm being incredibly stupid:
- We're going skiing in nine hours and instead of packing or sleeping I'm blogging.
- I'm taking Charlie on said skiing holiday, even though he's kind of maybe getting sick.
- This means six hours in the car tomorrow, four the day after, and nine on the way back. With three children, and one of them quite possibly with an ear infection. As in - the baby.
Reasons why I'm also kind of clever:
- I have told my mother we may be a couple of days late if Charlie's not up to travelling tomorrow.
- I have taken Charlie to the doctor and have stocked up on medicines just in case.
- Staying home if he doesn't actually get sick would be a bit stupid.
- We're not wasting a skiing holiday with a non-skiing grandmother who is willing to babysit.
No, that second list didn't really help. I still feel very anxious about the combination sick baby - skiing holiday, and even more about the combination sick baby - six hours in the car. I'm also anxious about fighting my corner if I do think we shouldn't go quite yet. I should probably just get some sleep now. Or pack a little. Maybe things will be clearer in the morning.

I think you should definitely go! Things have a way of working out and as you say, you can't pass up the opportunity of built-in babysitting. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeletemy son has repeat ear infections and colds and is, in general, a fussy baby...i have these doubts about shit all the time...
ReplyDeletegood luck.
I hope he's OK. I think you should go though. It might even work out that he sleeps MORE in the car than he would have otherwise - especially with a dose of perdolan to go ;)
ReplyDeleteI took a sick baby to Disneyworld and made her go to the parks every day, loaded up on ibuprofen, 'cause I am that kind of mom. And it looked like she had a great time!
ReplyDeleteGranny will look after him :):) and if you stay up all night you will sleep in the car and not hear a thing.....did that help???

You've gotta go! You've got medicines and you've got the non-skiing babysitting grandma who can administer them....those slopes are beckoning....
ReplyDeleteYep. All will be well. Things ALWAYS look better in the morning. And there are doctors everywhere.
ReplyDeleteLoving you, Mwa.
Blogging was a good choice. Clears the mind.
ReplyDeletehmmm, no reply from Mwa, looks like she's on her way! yay!!!
ReplyDeleteyou'll get through it, and you may even enjoy some of it!! good luck, cuddles to a poorly Charlie x
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope he's alright? xx
ReplyDeleteAny period of time in a car with kids can be trying at the best of times, let alone sick kids etc.
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't get the skiing attraction but then again I've never been skiing :)
I'm sure once you're there and doing your thing on the slopes, life will be good.
Hope all went well and you've enjoyed yourself!
ReplyDeleteDid you get there? Hopefully you did and that the journey wasn't too traumatic...
ReplyDeleteHope Charlie was alright and you got to enjoy your break.
ReplyDeletei love your titles :-)
ReplyDeleteYou'd be crazy not to go. I hope you're having a blast on the slopes.
ReplyDeleteSorry, for being away so long, it wasn't something I enjoyed. I've really missed you.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to sound dumb, but I think your analysis is completely logical, the second list is something I could have written.
Enjoy your break. Grandmoms can handle any baby emergency.
