Worst Day!

It all started Sunday night. We had Kym over for supper and explained what to do the next morning with the girls. She was going to take the girls to Laura's since John's knee surgery was scheduled for Monday at 7:30 but we had to be in Saline (50 min. away) at 6 AM. We went to bed early and around 2:00AM, it happened. Libby came in and said, "Mommy, I puked!" I jumped up and could smell it right away. I took her to the toilet where I realized that she made it there, but a little too late. It was in her bed, on her jammies, and all the way down the hall. Remarkably, she had some in the toilet too! I cleaned her up, stripped her sheets, and had fresh jammies on and tried to "sleep fast." in her bed. About 10 min. later, it ALL happened again! And again, and again!! 4 times total and an entire bath tub full of puky laundry. I was still awake at 4:00 and called Judy to watch the girls and told Kym she was off the hook. Judy was here at 5:00 and we left shortly after. His surgery went great and they had him all doped up. Judy went to work when we got home and I was hoping all four of us would enjoy a nice LONG nap. No such luck! Lib now had diarrhea and yet more dirty laundry. The kitchen guys where there working and BANGING so no nap for me! The other three slept sound and I started with the laundry. EWWWW!!! I rushed up to the school to check on papers and get the next day ready just in case. When I got home, John had Lib and Leah on his lap. I asked Libby how she felt and she quietly said, "Fine." In the next moments, she had puke coming out of everywhere AGAIN! I threw Leah off and then John started looking pale. He said, "If you don't get this off of me, I am going to puke too!" I ran Lib to the bathroom and Leah kept repeating, "Libby puked, Libby puked, Mama!" I helped John get his clothes off first so I didn't have two pukers and stripped Lib down as well. At 6:00, Judy came back over b/c I had to pick up McDowells in Detroit. It was quite relaxing to get away and just drive, but I was SO tired by then and started getting a headache and sore throat. When I got back, Leah had a fever now, Lib was still a zombie, John's knee hurt and I called in for another day off. Right now, they are all sleeping and I just wanted to thank Kym (for everything you were going to do and getting up early), Judy (we couldn't have done it without you), and Brodie (for the yummy jello!). Good night!

Notice Lib in the background under the towels. She stayed like that for 1/2 hr. without moving after her third bath of the day.

Daddy's knee surgery went really well.

This was a picture before church. Libby has her Bubba teeth in and Leah looks like little green riding hood. John thought this was blog material for sure!
