I just posted last night about having some quiet time while they were at the movies (if you haven't read it yet scroll down and do so now. . . . ) – well so much for that. . . . I guess I should have used the quite time to go to sleep extra early (. . .but the computer. . & the remote. . . . )
I went to bed about 10:30 and actually went to sleep pretty quickly. About 1:45 I woke up and saw that they weren’t home yet, so I went to the computer (which was still on because of an upload going on) and pulled up the drive-in website and found out that the second movie that started at 11:40 was 2 hours and 9 minutes long, so I knew it was just about over and they should be home soon. I went and laid back down and within 10 to 15 minutes I heard them drive up. Brian carried a sleeping Kade into his room, Noah & Rina went to Noah’s room and Beau left to take Courtney home then to go home himself (the time is a little after 2 am). So Brian finally got everyone settled and came to bed, we talked a couple of minutes, then he was fast asleep, and I, well, I laid there and listened to him sleep until about 4 - finally - remember I am the one who has to go to work. . . .
About 4:40 I hear “mom” - not the usual LOUD whaling MOOOMM from Kade, just a soft ‘mom’ so I get up and go toward their rooms for the following:
Me: what?
Silence
Me: who called me?
Noah: it was me
Me: what’s wrong?
Noah: I just threw up in my bed
Me: IN your bed!!??
Noah: I tried to get out but couldn’t
(when they got in from the movies he & Rina both crashed in his room and he was up against the wall and couldn’t get out of his bed)
Me: well get out now and go to the bathroom (I know, doesn’t sound like a caring mom, I feel bad now)
So he went to the bathroom, I sent Rina to sleep in the computer room, and I headed to the kitchen to get something to help me clean it up. On the way back I stopped by the bathroom and ask if he was okay (see I am a caring mom) and he says “Yeah, I feel fine now”. As I’m cleaning (and gaging) he comes in there and asks where he should go and sleep, I told him on the floor in our room or Kade’s room, so he took a quilt and some pillows and went to sleep in our room while I continued to clean (and gag). I cleaned it up, stripped the bed, and took the sheets outside to sprayed them off with the water hose and then started the washer and threw them in.
Finally I laid back in my bed, after a few minutes I wondered if I cut the outside light off, so I got back up and went to check, well that light was off, but I left the kitchen light on, and I noticed that the washer wasn’t going, so I went to check on that and realized I didn’t shut the lid, so I did and headed back to bed. I laid back down and started to drift away when all of a sudden I hear (the LOUD whaling) MOOOMM from Kade, so I get back up and go check on him. He tells me his fingers hurt and feel funny, so I told him they were probably sleeping and for him to move them around a little, so he did and before I could say anything else he was sound asleep again, so I covered him up and went back to my room - it's now about 5:30. Ahh, once again, finally. . . . I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew my alarm was going off. . . argh. . . time to get up. . . Which I did, and went and put the sheets in the dryer and the comforter in the washer, then took myself to the shower, got ready, went back got the comforter out of the washer and hung it on the line, and put the matress cover in the washer. I then went to give my rounds of kisses to sleeping kids and hubby. When I got to hubby, Noah looked up at me so I told him he could get up in the bed with dad and Brian asked who was in there. . . I politely told him it was Noah and the reason (he had no idea of all that went on because he was sound asleep) .
Good thing a weekend is here because I really have some sleep to catch up on ;)
