24 My Way
1/27 UPDATE: Kye, Me, AND the baby got it Sunday to Monday! Glorious!
The past 24 hours I have been taking care of two sick kids. By taking care of them I mean cleaning up vomit that seemed to get on everything including Katelin and her bed, on the wall, down on the carpet and under the bed. We threw her in the bathtub, washed it out of her hair and proceeded to start the first load of laundry. She was feeling better and fell asleep on the couch. We were still cleaning up when she puked again all over the couch, herself and the rest of her blankets that she hadn't puked on her bed. After getting her out of her jammies and cleaning her up again she crawled into our bed and fell asleep. This time I got a bucket. Two seconds after I crawled into bed next to her she started throwing up in our bed and it never made it to the bucket. So, now we have more sheets and mattress covers to wash. Katelin throws up eight more times, every half hour through the night. at 4 AM Kye trades me places and I go onto the couch to get some sleep.
8 AM rolls around and Kanyon is awake and ready to play! KC proceeds to tell me that his tummy hurts as Katelin is on the couch telling me about the diarrhea that she had got in her underwear before Kye went to work. Thank you Kye for taking care of that one!
KC eats two bites of cereal and tells me his tummy is burning. Both kids are on the couch watching PBS kids while I am starting my eight loads of laundry. Kanyon is getting sick of being in the high chair when KC throws up and poops his pants at the same time. Good thing I placed the bowl right next to him and he didn't get a drop on the couch!
Between paying what is hopefully the rest of bills that are coming from KC's incident in November (By the way, did you know it costs around $236 to talk to a specialist at Primary Childrens for 15 minutes? Thank goodness for the Health Savings account!) and doing the laundry I am running KC into the bathroom so he can sit on the pot, holding a pot. Kanyon seems to be very good and not catching whatever these children have and is down for a nap. Katelin is starting to feel better, KC is asleep so I am able to finally shower. I get to lay down for 45 minutes. My dad comes down and brings the kids popsicles and takes me to Kneaders to get dinner when Kye gets home. Thanks for getting me out of the house dad! 6:00 PM there is still laundry in the dryer and dad goes home. We are ready to go to bed. I head to Costco to get Oxyclean with my coupon to try to get that vomit smell out of the carpet. I come home, KC is still puking and we finally get the baby down. Then Katelin is down. Kye reads Roots to KC while on the couch to help him fall asleep. It worked. Then Kye is asleep. It's 9:00 PM again. Soon, I will be asleep.
I am a woman, better yet a mother... hear me ROAR (Or snore because I am so tired!)
