My Amazing Weekend... Not.

So my last post was on the 2nd... by the 4th, I had that incredible puking nastiness that my kid had. And not just me, but kid #2 had it as well, to the tune of puking in her bed and not even waking me up. Personally, I could happily live without ever walking into the kids room and finding a half-dried puddle of vomit on the pillow EVER AGAIN. Especially when I still felt like puking, kinda, myself. That had to be one of the grossest, most miserable weekends on record in my house.

Speaking of my house, I have failed to clean it. Okay, I did clean up the puke and wash all the laundry, but the rest of the house is sadly lacking cleanliness... it needs help. BIG TIME. Ah well, I know what I'm doing tomorrow, huh? House cleaning 101, emergency status. Oh yes. I need a siren for that, I bet that would make my kids freaking JUMP to help clean up, instead of fighting  me every step of the way. There would be no more arguing, whining, crying, and if there was I wouldn't be able to hear it anyway. "What? I can't hear you! The faster we get it cleaned up, the faster we can turn off the siren! I know it's loud! That's the POINT!"

Good thought for the evening, I guess. ;)

Coffee. I rest my case.

So last night was one of those why don't I just stay up and wait for the kid to puke kind of nights. I did get some sleep, which is good, but the boy child didn't get much, since he was up every hour or so vomiting. The good news is he made it to the toilet every single time and didn't puke on the floor. This is a massive bonus, last time he was sick and puking he puked on the floor repeatedly. Oh yes. That was not a fun day, night, whatever. All of the above.

I have been in Supermom mode today, dealing with puke and poopy pants, cleaning my bathroom so no one else gets sick, cleaning my kitchen since it was completely trashed, like some herd of monkeys came through and smeared food on ALL the dishes... what else? Oh yeah, bathed not one but two kids, took out my trash, washed some laundry, fixed the washing machine... yep. Even that. Is it naptime yet? No, of course not, it's COFFEE time! My kids don't nap, why would anyone imagine life would be so easy? Oh, I also did some actual work, if anyone cares. In my spare time, don't you know. And I still have plenty that needs to get done, the day is nowhere near over yet. At all.

I'm wondering, right at this very moment, how I ever managed to get anything done when I didn't drink coffee.
