5:00 AM Wake Up Call

What a week, I've had so far. The previous four days and nights have consisted of me taking care of a sick and extremely grumpy Alivia.
For those of you who know me, this next statement won't come as a surprise. I don't FUNCTION at ALL if I'm behind on my sleep. The first night I was up, I was kind and understanding towards Alivia, the second night my nerves were starting to fray, and by night number three I knew I had to get this kid to sleep or I was going to kill her.
One confirmation of an ear infection and some antibiotics later, I just knew I was finally going to get some rest.
That was until Dylan started shaking me this morning at five AM saying, "Mom I "berfed" all over the stairs".

Are you serious!?!

I'm so sorry. Getting no sleep AND dealing with sick kids is so hard. I hope they get well soon and you don't catch any of their lovely germs yourself!

Blah! Sick kids are the worst. I have to say that is one of my least favorite duties :( I hope they get better soon!

Poor thing! One night of sick, I can handle that. When it drags on, my patience is toast. I see we are dealing with all the same crap. I am still planning on taking your kids Friday night. Alivia can be grumpy at my house as well as at yours. :)Charlie will have been on his antibiotic for 3 days and will be good to go. (I hate when the kids are sick!)

I think you jinxed us...Braden took his turn on Friday. Yuck. The worst part is that he had drank a 32 oz. red icee earlier in the day. Nothing like pink throw up. I think we are the mend today though!
