Good morning
Well last night our bedroom looked lie a refugee zone. Wall-to-wall babies layed out on blankets on the floor. HD has succombed to the cold. As has James. Last night HD almost ended up in the ER due to his croupy cough~~but we got it under control
Needless to say no soccer today. Rainee has a version of it too but so far it hasn't slipped down to her lungs. She however was awake from 3:30-5:45. Mommy is very tired. Because the other kids were awake before that. Finally mommy took the bigger kids and put them on the floor in the living room left Rainee in her crib in the bedroom and caught an hour of sleep in front of the tv. You know the kinda sleep where you just drift off and a kid kicks you. And you just drift off again and one of them coughs, and you just drift off and one of them squiggles. You know the kind. The biggest bummer??? No caffeine in the house. I NEEEEEEEEED caffeine right now.
Yesterday we didn't have a date night due to our regular babysitter doing the play she's been practicing for. So we ended up taking the pony over to my moms in the day time. The original plan was to leave the kids just long enough to go get the pony and load it up into the van. My mom offered to keep ALL of the kids for a couple hours since we weren't getting away. IT was SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO nice. We even left Rainee. When we got away we realized it was the first time in almost 6 months that we've been completely alone.
You have no idea how nice it felt. We went for a short drive
and a small hike. To a gorgeous view.
Came back thoroughly refreshed and only in two hours.
