Motherhood:

can be rough

A few weeks ago this lady and this Moma, had a rough patch.  She was hit (no pun intended -- keep reading) with a nasty sickness that just sucked the sweetness out of baby Mackenzie.  After an emergency visit to the pediatricians because of a temp over 103, she was diagnosed with Hand-Foot-Mouth disease.  Thankfully she never had the sores, but doc thought she had a sore throat since it was pretty red.  No sores was good, but over a few days, this developed into a pretty nasty cold.  
But along with this cold came hitting, swatting, and flailing....All.day.long.  She just beat me up. Anytime things didn't go her way (which seemed to be everything) she hit.  I graded the day, based on how many times she hit me.  It was exhausting and nothing worked.  Thankfully she is feeling better and the hitting has decreased a ton...but it is still something we are working on!
