Exhausted...

So...This is a picture of Abby at about 10:30 pm last night - way past her bed time. You may have noticed that she is wearing no pants but she is wearing her church shoes. I had put her to bed long before this. I heard her playing in her room but didn't think too much of it; she often plays for a few minutes and then lays down and falls asleep. I asked Paul to check on her when he walked by her room and this is what he found...a half naked Abby pulling out all of her toys and making a complete disaster of her room ( apparently she is also now tall enough to reach the light switch ). What you can't see is the smell... Apparently she has a stomach bug and made a mess in her diaper, which then leaked out all over her pajamas, blanket and sheets. Rather than yelling for me to come help her - she just took off her clothes and her diaper and continued to play, making an even bigger smelly mess. I half felt bad for her and half felt frustrated that I had such a big mess to clean up so late at night, when I just wanted to go to bed. We got her cleaned up and back to bed.

Fast forward to today...Holly was cranky all morning. She was just extra clingy and fussy. After lunch, I picked her up to wash her hands and face. I smelled the familiar smell from the night before and looked down only to find ick all over she and I both. Anyway, it has been a day filled with fussy children and cleaning up messes. I am exhausted and glad that they are both finally in bed. Let's hope tomorrow is better for us all.
