Musical beds

Here's my last night...

10:30pm--I throw up and go to bed

3-4:45am--Mason wake up, needs to throw up but can't quite make it. I make a bed for him on my floor. No sooner do I get him down than Sammy comes upstairs screaming about a scary dream he had. I make a bed for him on the floor. I climb in bed. Stephen asks me to close the door because the little bit of light shining in kills his head (he hasn't been able to sleep because of a massive headache). I close the door and climb back into bed. Mason throws up into his bowl. I clean that up and get some water for him. I climb back in bed. Sammy wakes up again freaking out about another scary dream. I tell Stephen he should go to the boys' room because no one is there and maybe he can rest. He goes down to Sammy's bed. I put Sammy in Elise's bed, which wakes up Lincoln, so I bring him to my bed to nurse. I climb back in bed. Sammy comes in my room, still freaking out, and wants to get in his bed so he can turn on his light. Stephen comes back upstairs after being kicked out of bed by Sammy. I put Lincoln back in his bed. I get back in my bed and sleep until 6:30, when Lincoln is awake again. I nurse him and he is almost back to sleep when I have to get up for some reason. I climb back in bed and toss and turn until 9:30am. I am useless all day...hopefully this is just a 24-hour bug that we all have!

What a night...please everyone sleep tonight!!!

Good heavens! At least it was Conference today, right? I hope everyone sleeps and feels better tonight!

oh no! Are you better yet? That's the worst! Especially when mom is sick!!! It's no fun to take care of sick kids when you are sick yourself. So sorry!

nights like this are painful....really I felt pain as I read this because I have had nights like this. Oh, they are not fun at all! Sorry to hear you were sick...and that everyone kept waking up. Except it seems Elise - did she sleep through everything?! If so she and Miss M must be alike....she will sleep like a log through the night, but the minute I put a small toe on the ground in the morning....she is up in a flash.

I hope you are well rested by this point!!

and p.s. It's funny that we didn't friend each other on FB before - I suppose sometimes you don't friend the obvious friends around you....at least that is what I find myself doing. You are definitely on the top of my list of people I'm so glad that I know and can call a friend!
