Being Tested...

The girls have the stomach flu...or a 24 hour bug. I'm not sure which and I don't think it really matters. Cecilia started a few days ago and we thought it had something to do with her not being able to go poop. Well her trying to throw up went away mostly yesterday and I thought we were done and over with the episodes. But then last night it started all over again with Kitty. I went in their room to see why she was crying and she had thrown up all over her bed, so off to the bathroom for a quick wash down. We bunked downstairs last night. Big blanket and a towels all over that. Poor Kitty threw up all night and was just spent from her little body doing all that work. Cecilia pooped all over herself and her bed last night a few hours later, which meant another trip to the bathtub for another wash down. Then down came Cici to hang out with us. Several towels later and a few changes of clothes, Kitty started having less dry heaves less often. 5am...that was when I finally got to bed. I felt bad leaving Cisco with the girls while I went to bed since he had just gotten home from work, but if I had any chance of doing it all during the day and while he went to work today then I had to get some sleep.

When I woke up a short 4 hours later Kitty seemed like she was doing much much better as well as Cecilia. Not too long after I was happy and thinking we were over it Charlie started. I was in the middle of changing Cici's bed and heard Charlie trying to throw up. UUUGGGGHHHHH....I got happy way too soon.

So now here I sit with Charlie on the side of me hoping that she doesn't get sick throughout the night, but my fingers are starting to hurt from crossing them so hard.

The kids had asked lastnight if they could camp out in the family room last night and I almost said no, but then the girls started getting sick and I was so glad I said yes, cause then they wouldn't have been able to help me cause they would have been asleep sooner. I am so glad they were both home, they were great. Helped with everything. I just have to figure out what to do for them to thank them for pulling an all nighter with me. Back in the day I would have told them that they could skip a day of school but I can't do that anymore...especially since Anthony needs to work on his grades. Well I'm sure I'll think of something.

I think these past two days have tested my patience to the point of nearly breaking me. I'm exhausted, the babies are cranky and moody and cannot be consoled. They cry cause they want to be picked up, but then they cry cause they want to be put down, then they want juice, then they don't. They don't know what they want and they make sure that I know it. When 10pm hit and Kitty and Cici were screaming and didn't want to go to bed but didn't want to lay down downstairs either that was it for me. I stuck them in their beds, bid them good night and was done. I just couldn't take it any more. I didn't care if they cried for hours upon hours, I just had to do something with them. It's funny cause it took all of 10 minutes for them to quiet down.

I guess this shouldn't come to much of a surprise to me, for God's sake there ARE 3 of them. I guess it is just something I better get used to.
