Sleep deprived and ......... The Laundry quadrupled!!?

So Dan and I got to go out with some friends on Sat., thanks to grandma and grandpa coming up to babysit the kid-o's. They lucked out by only having three of the four. Tanner went roller skating with his buds and then over to one of their houses to play the rest of the night. The other three got lucking partaking of B.K. and playing at our neighborhood park with the cool grandparents.

I have been dying to see our friends home he his building (not for himself but to sell). Dan has been talking about how amazing it is and how well thought out and detailed Conley is about building it. All the doors are solid alder , my dream choice for kitchen cabinets, and the doors don't have casings. They are hinged right into the door frame. Needless to say it is a beautiful house in Windsor, Colorado. After seeing the house we went to good o'l C's (old chicagos) and partook of football and good food. We had a wonderful night with the Hoskin's and Jablan's.

We get home and all is well. We say our good byes and thank you's to Grandparents (Thank you's never seem enough for how really appreciative we are to have them), and call it a night. At about 12:30 am poor little Jake wakes up, and I go get him and put him in bed with Dan and I. He settles down and then not 5 min. later............He throws up everywhere. DING DING, my internal intuition is blaring "you are in for a long night!" So from then until 3am he threw up at least 4 times, change our sheets twice and he finally gets comfortable enough to go to sleep again. Then at 6 am here comes the other little man......"mommy I'm sorry! I didn't make it to the bathroom and I puked on the carpet." OOOHHH Zack "it's ok, lay here in mommy's bed with Jake and I'll go clean it up." Which I did. I go back to my room (Dan is at some early morning meetings for work, and yes it was a Sunday). Just as I settle in to sort of go back to sleep, Zack does it again. There goes the last pair of sheets that fit our bed, and now Jakes awake and covered as well. I am now up for the day and get both the boys in the tub, put the sheets in the washing machine.

Jayla appears. "mom, my stomach doesn't feel very good." "Oh honey, I am so sorry you can go sit in the bathroom with your brothers. If you need to throw up try REALLY hard to throw up in the toilet, OK?" everyone is now clean 3 of the 4 don't look good at all. I try to get my mind set to deal with the rest or the day not getting frustrated and loosing my cool on the poor sick-o's. Tanner is fine and just his laid back self for the rest of the day somewhat oblivious to the puking around him. After Dan gets home we decide it is better to stay home from church and he will stay home with me since I am sleep deprived and have showered twice from being thrown up on, to help out. It didn't take much coaxing since the Bronco game came on at 2pm (church starts at 1:30). He was a big help in holding the 2 younger ones( they cried unless someone was holding them, which made it impossible to clean up) while I cleaned up the messes and dealt with Jayla.

SO HOW WAS EVERYONE ELSES SUNDAY!?

Emily,
I feel bad. Those three throwing up kids were with us the night before. Maybe it's something that we fed them. I'm really sorry.

For as stressful as as the Primary Program was, it looks like I had it better than you...I hope everyone is better now!
