My day from Hades!

Let me tell you about today. My day from Hades!! It started last night.

1. Nate came downstairs at 10 ish after being woke up from excessive coughing. He was awake until 2:45 am. Hello! Got him to sleep, laid on my pillow, got all covered up and warm and...

2. Maggie woke up and would not stop crying. Gave her a bottle, she still wasn't happy. I rocked with her from 3:30 until 5:30 when she finally fell asleep.

3. I went back into my room to go to bed and Nate was in my bed. I didn't feel like fighting with him, so I just laid down. He spent the next hour kicking my head (no matter how many times I turned him). Kennie came in at 6:30 to tell me he wasn't feeling good.

4. Called and got a Doctor appointment for Kennie. Can you believe the latest appointment was at 11? At least it was with Troy (our friend from church.) Showered and got everyone ready.

4. Took all 4 kids to the doctor appointment. Kennie is wheezing pretty bad, so we spent 30 minutes in the treatment room. How did we survive this? Pocahontas!

5. Waited for the prescription for 45 minutes. Found out during this 45 minutes that Walking Pneumonia is running like crazy at Kennie school.

6. Darted from the doctor to Justin's school since today was the only day to pick up his class picture. Picked up lunch at Wendy's (I didn't feel like fighting with everyone!)

7. Came home to get all the kids settled and eating lunch and realized Nate wasn't anywhere to be found. "Where's Nate?" I asked the kids. Justin replied, "He went outside, mom." Are you kidding me? The garage door is up. Arg! Run outside, he is no where to be found. Search in back of the house. Search in front of the house. No where. I was going to check behind Cynthia's house then I was going to call 911. 2 little girls at the park came over (my frantic screaming works I guess) and told me he was hiding in a toy house in someones back yard right next to the park. Oh, so could have ....grr!!

That is my fabulous day so far. It's only 2:23 in the afternoon, so I still have about 6 hours left until the kids are in bed. Isn't it awful that I cam counting down the hours?!?
