Today I woke up ready to rule the planet. The birds were singing and all was right with the world. I was going to hop in the shower, get breakfast and school done, hit the treadmill, work out and then go to the grocery store. At about 7 am all three of my little ones came into my room and climbed into bed with me which was wonderful! What a great way to greet the day.
I should have known my plans were going the way of the Dodo when Mr. Clean thwarted my plan to hop right into the shower. He walked in the room, said, "good morning", grabbed a towel and headed for the bathroom. Because the man takes the world's longest showers I snuggled back into our bed. Then I figured I would be productive and start some laundry. After all, I was SuperMom today and all was still right with the world. So far...
Then came the "call". Mr. Clean called down the stairs and asked me if C'sa had been okay for me. ??? Well of course! What trouble could she get in snuggled under my comforter? The worst... she threw up.
Still in SuperMom mode I went in and cleaned and cuddled my baby. No problems! I could handle this! Not to be outdone, then Xena ran to the bathroom and threw up as well. Both of my princesses had a mild fever and no ability whatsoever to keep food in their bellies.
Fast forward to lunch. I still was in p.j.'s, K.Z. and I were on constant "throw up" alert for the little one (Xena can get to the bathroom in time) and no school had yet been done. Worst of all, I was getting a headache. This day was not quite the one I had imagined!
Yet, it redeemed itself! Although not going as I thought, the day ended with two little girls happily eating a light dinner and keeping it down! K.Z. and Mr. Clean were wrestling in the family room loud with laughter and joy. After dinner the girls were singing made up songs in their beautiful voices at the top of their lungs. All was, once again, right with the world.
