I am NOT a morning person, never have been. I am especially not a morning person when I am up and down all night feeding a baby. (side note* I really wanted to hit my husband this morning when he looked at me feeding Lila for the 6th time since 3 am and said, "So, she slept good last night, huh?" I managed to refrain from saying anything more snide than, "Just because she didn't wake you up does not mean she slept well." I think he got the point.) But I will admit that I was already more than a little testy because Jake came up stairs with his typical "I can't go to school... I don't feel good" routine. He was quite firmly sent downstairs to get dressed and came back up 5 minutes later crying and covered with vomit. I think he threw up all over the downstairs on purpose because we wouldn't believe that he was sick. I need to read him the story about the boy who cried wolf...
So here I sit watching My Friends Tigger and Pooh, with Lila in her bouncer, a sink full of dirty dishes, an overflowing hamper, a stripped bed, and having scrubbed the carpet in half the rooms in my house. Oh crap, the 2 year old just woke up. So much for a nap. I am not getting dressed today.

I think there is a virus of BAD DAYS going around. It's on every young mother's blog that I have read. I wish I could be there to help you all, but this is just part of the package. This too shall pass. Know you are loved and your success is prayed for.
Um...yeah, I think I'll take my bad day over yours. Sorry you have to deal with throw-up. That is the absolute worst!
Make Jake take a nap since he's sick and then maybe the girls will sleep at the same time too.....wishful thinking right?
I hope you get a nap. But I wouldn't get dressed either.
Hey-I'm still in my pajamas. I'm trying to get laundry, dishes, etc etc done. My days off are never really a restful day off. Hang in there and call if you need something. I'll be there in 2 minutes-jammies and all.
Definitely the least fun and least glamorous part of being a mother. But things always look better in hindsight, and that is truly a good thing, so that we have something to laugh about later! Sending you best wishes and good nap vibes :D
That truly bites big time! Let's just hope that your kids stay under the radar today!
