Send help, Bring coffee.

Here I am and it is 4:57am to be exact, it's dark, I just turned up the heater, gave up on sleep and turned the coffee pot on. *hard eye roll*

It all started about 3 hours ago when one of my twins (Brynlee) woke up, she ate and went right back to sleep, but of course in the process woke up her sister (Avayah) who was all smiles and cooing for over an hour.

You ever been so tired that even when your kids are smiling and being cute it's just like "yes child, I love you with my whole being, but you would be a hell of a lot cuter if I had a decent amount of sleep." *inserts finger guns here*

I got her back to bed about 3:30, so why am I still up you ask?

Well, because not only do my twins get up at night, it is the season where all kids come home from school with some kind of nasty bug and as soon as I closed my eyes and curled back up with my man... low and behold my 6 year old comes in crying because she threw up all over herself, her bed and my white carpet, because last nights dinner just added the right touch to the carpet right?! (sorry landlord) thank god for my carpet cleaner.

So, by 4am I am stripping beds, scrubbing the floor and bathing a child, getting water and a pot to put next to her bed. By the time I've finished with her and get her in bed, well it's been a little over 3 hours since Brynlee woke up the first time and was fed and I can hear her over the baby monitor wiggling around.

I look at the clock and I'm like, well fuck even trying to go back to bed right now, so I walk into the kitchen, get the coffee pot ready, turn it on and make a bottle because I can hear her getting a little louder as I mess around in the kitchen.

Now it's almost 5:30 and I have a baby who is almost finished with her bottle and falling asleep, but by 6 my son (Grayson) comes and gets me because my daughter is throwing up again and he is full of energy ready to go to school. At this point it's like, well at least this coffee is kicking in and I'm thinking maybe things will get better and I will get a nap in this morning after my son goes to school, because obviously Aubree isn't going to school today.

By 8am I've ran to the store for soup, crackers and tylenol, have had 2 cups of coffee and ran through the coffee line at my favorite local coffee shop, to go home and forget about a nap because I have sheets to wash, a floor to shampoo and sanitizing to do because my 2 month old twins can not get sick, we are supposed to have thanksgiving at our house this coming Saturday and well frankly I HATE when my house feels sick.

You know when you can smell the sickness ? yeah, that means you just need more bleach or what I like to call it "the house is sick."

Send help, bring coffee.
