"There's a bean in my nose!"

Those are the words that woke me up at 5:30 AM this morning. Alexandra came in just sobbing trying to convince me she had a bean up her nose. Who knew beans would cause nightmares in our house. I asked her if she'd put a bean up her nose, she said no but she was still sure it was up there. I asked her if she had a dream and she said, yes I had a very bad dream. I told her it was still nite-nite time but that I would check her nose in the morning. She didn't forget either she had me check her nose to make sure there wasn't a bean up her nose. Her young mind can't comprehend that what she's dreaming isn't true. At least she went back to bed.

9:24 AM

That's the time that I got out of bed for good this morning. Alexandra got up at 5:50 AM asking for Desitin on her bottom. She flipped on her light and woke up Sebastian. I couldn't believe it. I turned the light off and she proceeded to run into the door. Poor girl. I took her out in the hallway and put desitin on her. I told her not to turn on the light again and then tucked her back in. I got back into my nice warm bed when I heard another little guy stir and cry. I got up and fed him and we both got back to bed at 7:15AM. I didn't wake up again until I heard some noise at 9:24AM. I have to say, that when I get to pretty much be in bed until 9:24 AM,it's going to be a great day, even if it's snowing like crazy outside my window!

If you have a weak stomach or are eating, don't read this post

I am in way over my head. I decided to finish up our taxes last night so I was up late after being at work for 2 hours last night. I got to bed about midnight. About 45 minutes later, a little girl wandered to my bed side telling me she's all wet. I'm figuring its that she's wet the bed since she's not wearing pull up's any more. Then I smell something. She starts to explain that she didn't pee pee, she says shes all wet and her bed is too. So I get up and realize, she's thrown up. I assure her that she's ok and that it happens. I strip her bed and her blankets, take them downstairs and get new sheets and put them on the bed. She continues to complain about her stomach and I pray she doesn't vomit on me. I get everything back to normal and get her back to bed and then I hear a cry. It's Atticus. Paul told me that he threw up while I was gone, so I'm not surprised he's awake and acting like he hungry. He takes 6 oz and smells horrible. He's has about 6 dirty diapers a day and is sleeping a lot. I thought maybe it was teething but now that Alexandra is sick I'm not sure. Atticus is not interested in eating which is really weird for him. The funniest part of this whole thing, Alexandra turns on the light last night so we can change her bed, Sebastian didn't stir. He also slept through the whole bed change and all the converstation about sickness. You got to love that!

Mornings...

I love and hate mornings at the same time. Alexandra and Sebastian are the most joyful in the morning. Especially Alexandra. She is also the most obedient in the morning. I hate mornings because I can't seem to wake up. I'm so tired in the morning, that I have a hard time finding my joy. Atticus got up this morning at 5:30 AM but thankfully he'll go back to sleep within the hour. It's still an interruption though. I know, I should just be thankful for the sleep I get. Didn't I mention that in a previous post?

What a way to wake up

Alexandra comes into our bedroom to wake me up this morning and the first thing out of her mouth is "you stink". Got to love that 3 year old up front honest conversation. My response was "well, good morning to you too".

You know you are tired when

You put baby formula in the other kids sippie cups. Luckily I realized it before I gave it to them. I can just imagine Alexandra's face when she drank that!

You know you are tired when

you almost put baby formula in your coffee.
