one rough night


As I am typing this it is not even 7pm and both of my girls are sound asleep in bed. We're hoping we won't have another everlasting night again....
We thought Mace was in the clear, boy were we wrong.
Between cleaning up Macey's many messes in the hallway, on her carpet, comforter, her hair, and pj's, we were running to Kelsey's room. She did not want to sleep and now we know why. At 6am, Jason found her with dried vomit crusted in her hair as she was onto puking up green bile. Fun fun times. Both girls were past the bile and onto dry heaving. The worst. I was a bit scared as I saw my sleepy eyed husband head off to work in the morning, leaving me with two sick innocent children behind.
I have realized drama usually happens at night in our household. Things are a lot better during daylight hours. The girls have not gotten sick while the sun has been up. They get sick at night and then are for the most part pretty low key and easy during the day, besides some extra tears from being overly sensitive. Overall, kids amaze me. How can they handle being sick so much better than myself? Kelsey would throw up and then a second later as if nothing happened, she'd start pointing and yelling, "Dora! Dora!" at a magnet we have.
I am praying this stomach bug is all behind us now and it's not me and Jason up tonight by the toilet.

Oh Jen and Jason ! so sorry to hear the girls are sick. It is hard to see the little ones like that. They are pretty tough, and some day they will get to that age when they are never sick. Hopefully you guys get a good nights sleep tonight. Open the windows and air the place out for a couple of minutes, I always hoped that helped do the trick !

So sad that they are sick. But so impressed by how cute they continue to look. How come I alwasy look so bad when I'm not feeling well. They really are much better at being sick than we are. Good luck taking care of them Jenny, hope you aren't getting too exhausted!
