I need a memory- charm, PLEASE!!

[mecki987]

Hi!

I need a memory- charm. I really do! Could someone please erase the 
last week from my memory. And while you're at it. -A nice little 
potion for dreamless- sleep would be more than welcome! (I need a 2l- 
bottle with lemonade-taste, so I can give some to the kids too).

This has been A week!What a week!

Last monday my little son was ill- Fever over 104°F (40°C), crying all 
day, not 2 millimeters away from Mummies arms. All of you with kids 
know how exhaustive this is. Wednedsday evening was at last slightly 
better. Thursday was the day I got killed by the little monsters that 
came to my sons birthday- party ( Hey, after a week past, I really do 
believe the report was quite funny). Friday my older daughter- yes, 
she got ill too. Fever upto 106!!(41,3°C), despite medication. 
Hospital was only seconds away. Monday she felt slightly better 
(meaning for a 8year old she was runnning around again, wanting 
something every 5 seconds), today she even went back to school. Last 
night- yep, there's more- my son started vomiting all night.

Is this enough?No? Well, to top it all- I just got news from the 
kindergarten Marten was supposed to go to- and they don't take him, 
because I'm a full-time mother and they're too full to "take a little 
boy, just because his Mummy wants time for herself"!

Okay, now you know it. I can't stand much longer! I need a break! 
(hey, I DON'T mean a holiday with the family- that's never a holiday 
for the mum. Even if I love it, I don't get rest). I want to go in my 
bed,take the sleeping-potion and sleep for two entire weeks. Then I 
want a nice breakfast in bed and we can talk about me being a mother 
again!

AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!

(Screaming helps sometimes, but sadly not always)

And hey, I liked the "Telling the guy to help" thread and some of it 
is indeed true. But don't you think a husband can see you need help if 
you have your child on your lap, vomiting all over you? I mean, just 
like common sense? Get a bucket and a towel, and then at least offer 
"Shall I hold him for a minute?" So you can get the filthy clothes 
off, a nightgown or a clean T-shirt on, get clean clothes for the kid 
(Give it to the husband, he will eventually know where to put it) and 
remake the bed? And, if a husband would do the cleaning, while you're 
at the soothing-job, even better- but probably too much to ask for!

I mean, every fool can see, you can't sit there soothing and clean 
everything at the same time.And you can't put the kid back to bed like 
it is either ("Darling, I think he is okay now- Come back to 
bed(wink))

My husband does help. He goes to the supermarket because he has the 
car, and he does the gardening, if I keep the kids off his back while 
he's at it. So, he can't do something and take care of the kids at the 
same time (he's a wonderful Daddy when it comes to playing with the 
kids). Why does he expect that WE can? we have to do laundry, cooking 
and Babysitting the same time every day, and all he does is complain 
when something is not done!

Okay! I'd better stop ranting! So, if you know a good memory-charm 
(the muggle- variation alcohol only makes a headache and other bad 
side-effects), PLEASE let me know
