Today will be better....

Here's my day yesterday:
4 am: Woke up, no kids in bed.... went to check on them... they are OK... back to bed
4:15 am: Nathan is crying and fussing in the hall.... he's thrown up on his shirt. I think no problem, it's just the cold/mucous and change his clothes. He won't go back to bed but lays on the couch.
4: 45 am: Nathan throws up again... mostly mucous
4:50 am: I clean the carpet
5: 20 am: One more time.... just a little this time
5:30 am: Give him a tiny bit of a phenergan tab
5:45 am: Nathan's UP AND PLAYING! (no way the meds could kick in yet!)
So I start getting dressed and ready.
6:00 am: I get Emily up... she's a little cranky but nothing exciting
6:30 am: We go to daycare, Emily falls asleep on the way (nothing major, but she doesn't usually do this)
9:41 am: Get a call from daycare (uh oh.. Nathan's throwing up... I thought) NOPE... Emily's been sleeping all morning, has a "fever", and crusty eyes. GRRRRRRR
9:45 am: Call mom and beg for her to pick up Emily. God bless family!!!
11: 45 am: call and talk to mom... Emily has no fever and hasn't had one, but she's just laying around. Poor baby!
3:30: FINALLY get out of work and go to pick them up.... seems like forever sometimes
4:30 PM: get to Boonville to pick up Emily and she's still asleep... wake her up gently
5: 15 pm: EMILY IS FINE!!!!
6:00 pm: Mom and dad fix us dinner (WOW..... not only did they watch the kiddo, but now they are fixing dinner too!!!! Gotta love moms and dads!!!!!)
7:00 pm: Nathan's got crud in his left eye..... NOOOOOOOO!!!!
8:15 pm: We get home, get jammies on and Nathan goes to bed without a fight... uh oh..... sick? or just worn out??
8:40 pm: On the phone begging for Uncle Dave to watch Emily tomorrow (and possibly Nathan if his eye is still goopy!) He agrees..... yet again, God Bless Family!!!
10:00 pm: Emily FINALLY goes to bed. I follow.

LONG LONG LONG DAY.... guess I'll be sandblasting carbeurators and typing chemistry grad papers next week but that's OK....
