And Relax....

Oh dear what a terrible night!
Miss E has never really been ill. She gets loads of coughs and colds but she's never really had anything significantly wrong with her. Until she caught the plague. And she had to get it on our Honeymoon!
She hadn't seemed too bad during the day - just exhausted from all the excitement of the last few days. But last night she woke up so distressed and itchy and ended up writhing around screaming on the sofa - not asleep but not really awake either. She kept drifting off to sleep but only for a few minutes at a time. It was so heartbreaking not to be able to do anything to make her feel better. I've never felt so useless!
Eventually the Calpol and Piriton kicked in and she had a few hours in bed but at about 3am she came into our bed and wriggled and kicked and moaned, then - after more Piriton - perked up a bit and wanted me to read stories to her! She was in and out of bed until about 5am then finally went off for a few more hours. I, on the other hand, couldn't get back to sleep so have felt atrocious all day.
Luckily she doesn't seem ill as such - just itchy and uncomfortable. Fingers crossed for a better night tonight.
Our day consisted largely of sitting on the sofa watching Toy Story 3, Fireman Sam, Kung Fu Panda and Tangled. Not quite what I'd had in mind for our holiday but never mind!
Tonight Mr K and I had a Chinese takeaway and a couple of beers. Such a treat after months of dieting. Also quite a treat were the Maltesers and the chocolate wedding cake.
God we're greedy!!!
