The adventures of motherhood...

I will have to say that yesterday was a challenge. I was trying to get things ready for the YW activity because the Miamaids were in charge, meaning me. Anyway, so we decide to do a Mother's Day project and of course I go way over board! We made some cute jars that have candy in them and they are decorated. Well I was hunting around for everything we needed and stressing over all that, then I find out that the person who usually watches my kids during mutual has sick kids! So I tell Nate that he's in charge of finding someone, or taking them with him because I would be busy. Then later on in the day he calls and tells me that he might have to work late and that I'm stuck with the kids, great! So 6 o'clock rolls around and I'm doing pretty good, I got my kids fed...well at least I fixed them something to eat, even though they didn't eat it. I got my stuff for the activity all packed in the car. Got myself all ready while Hannah took a little nap, things were going good. Then we make it over to the church to set up, did I mention I was doing really good? I took the laptop for the kids to watch their Transformers movie, got that all set up. The girls had their projects, and got them all finished, WOOHOO! Glad it turned out good and the girls like it! Then we get home and Nate has "work stuff" to do, so I'm on my own yet again. I get the kids ready for bed, which is a feat in itself! Plus I had to squeeze in American Idol to see who was kicked off, gotta have it! I finally get the kids to go to bed, probably around 9:30! Then Kylan gets up and says his tummy hurts and he's going to shrow up( not a typo, he says s for th :}). So I send him in the bathroom for a while and nothing happens. I give him a couple crackers( since he didn't eat his dinner and had candy while watching the movie at church) and sent him back to bed. Well I get awakened by Caleb crying at 2 in the morning, so I go check on him. He's talking about shadows and sniffling so I rock him a little, give him a drink and say something about being a big boy and sleeping in his own bed (he has a tendency to come in and sleep on my floor by my bed, he just loves mommy!). So I go put him in bed and tuck him in, then I notice this foul odor. So I step up on Caleb's bed to check Kylan in the top bunk and, yep you guessed it, he's laying next to his own puddle of throw up! YUCK! So I go find a rag and put it over the puddle, I'll remind you that it is 2 in the morning....so I cover it up and hope he doesn't roll over in it and I'll clean it in the morning. So morning comes and he finally gets up, it's like 9 now. So I go in to check on the damage. Again, the foul odor, now extremely bad since it sat all night, then I see where it hit. He must have been facing the wall when it happened, it was all down the wall! And yet his pj's had it all down the other side, so who knows what happened there. I don't think I really want to know. So I start the clean up, throw the kid in the tub and the sheets in the wash. Then I spray like half a can of lysol all over. Hopefully it's not a bug and it's just that he missed out on eating his yummy dinner mom made and filled up on candy while at the activity mom was in charge of. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the latter. So anyway, hopefully we don't have anymore messes to clean up. And hopefully today is better than yesterday :)
