I've hit some bumps in the road called fever/infection. Hopefully the two antibiotics I'm taking will nix it.
It's Will's week to work late and the whole weekend. So I attempted to get up and do some motherly duties. Well, actually I got the little girls a snack when they got home from school, sat in the front room for 20 min. and had to go back to bed.
I tried again when I had to drive Hailey to cheer. I wasn't very excited to be driving, or out of bed for that matter. I did the Motherly thing and got Happy meals on the way home. I then received a call because I had forgotten to pick Hailey up.
I did sit in the front room while the kids ate and even choked down a few chicken nuggets.
All of a sudden I was DONE. It just hit me and I had nothing left. So I had Hailey put my whites in the dryer and went to take a shower. I had also told Kaden to go take a shower. Two different sides of the house and two different water heaters I might add.
I was feeling faint before my shower so it didn't help when not even half way through my shower the drain just stops draining, and the toilet starts making weird sounds. And I hear yelling coming from the other bathroom. I didn't even get to run out of hot water!
I try and hurry through, but that's probably a snails pace to anyone else. Only to realize all of my whites are in the dryer and not dry yet. Through the door I find out that during Kade's shower the toilet flooded the bathroom. FLOODED, not overflowed, there is a difference. We have some bad pipes somewhere and there is no explanation as to why or when they won't drain. It can be infuriating.
I somehow got Hailey to mop it up with towels and throw them in the wash? I'm still wondering how I got that to happen?
As soon as my clothes were dry I see a paper saying that tomorrow is class picture day...I'm not really sure how I kept myself from crying at this point. My body was pushed past the limit, sadly I know, but still. Emotionally I was just as limited I guess. I will do my best for picture day. Will my kids resent me when they are older?
At this point everyone was in pj's so I climbed into my bed. Hazel brought me her homework, at 8:30pm. That's the perfect time for a kindergartner to do their homework, right?
She fell asleep next to me after asking what "bless my heart" means. Her teacher says that.
Avary came in and climbed under the blanket at my feet and fell asleep next to the clean socks.
I'll have Will move them to their own bed when he comes home.
Hailey and Kade both got tired and went to bed on their own.
Earlier Will sent me a text asking if I had survived so far. I told him that I could think of some bad words to describe the evening.
The kids were really pretty good.
The whole shower thing.....
It's funny how everything is a thousand times harder when your body doesn't feel well or is run down.
Well, here's to day 1 of...I don't know....how ever many days Will has to work late.
