Model Mom Challenge Day 5

So much for my hopes of getting any kind of sleep last night! We're sick!

I had just got to bed when I heard Quinn crying. I got up and went into her room and saw, what I thought, was diarrhea all over her bed and herself. I carried her into the bathroom and noticed it was around her mouth to. What??? Oh, it was chocolate cake that she puked up! She had been telling me all night how she ate too much cake but she says things like that quite often so I didn't really pay attention to it. I got her all cleaned up and put back to bed and, well, the flood gates opened again. So, I was up with her for a good hour and a half. Just when I thought she was settled down and there was going to be no more puke....

Sydney puked all over herself and her bed! Okay, here we go! I had flashbacks to the last time we all had the flu - ALL of us at once! I was thankful that K.C. and I didn't get it this time. After being up with Sydney for about an hour, I started feeling not so good. Crap! Sydney was understandably clingy, Quinn was still not feeling good but being such a good big sister by asking Sydney if she felt alright and all of the other things she heard me say to her earlier.

I couldn't get Sydney off my neck so had to throw up with her on me. THAT made her back off a little. I just wanted to laugh because she kept say "Oh no!" whenever I would throw up. Sweet little thing.

I finally pulled Sydney's mattress out of the crib and put it on the floor in Quinn's room right next to Quinn's mattress so that we all could just lay down together and pass the trash - so to speak. I woke K.C. up twice so he could help me out but, otherwise, he slept through the whole thing. Thank goodness he's on a ton of antibiotics already so he never got to feeling bad. Once he was up to get ready for work, I informed him that there was no way he was going anywhere today! He thought he could go in and come home 'really early'. Silly man! He spent the day cleaning up puke AND poop (Quinn had it coming out both ends at one point) while I slept the day away.

Sydney's cleared up first and I think Quinn and I are on the mend now. One things for sure - I'm throwing out the rest of the chocolate cake in the freezer! That and the left over pizza. That's all we could throw up last night and I don't think any of us find those two things appealing anymore. Blech!

I called in to work for tonight and am wondering if I'll have enough time to get things done for Sydney's party tomorrow. We're just going to set out snack stuff so I think it'll be okay. She won't get any cupcakes though. I'm sure she'll be fine with that!

Maybe tonight I'll get some sleep????!
