A Bit of a Rough Day

It has been a day. Sarah woke up a little after 7 this morning and I went in to find her binky and give it to her. She took that and layed back down. About then I realized that I had a bad headache so I took some Tylenol and crawled back into bed. About then I realized that it wasn't just a headache, it was a migraine. Uugh! Daddy was already up and working.

Rebekah woke up about 7:45 and wanted Daddy, so I had to get up and check on Rebekah and then see if Daddy could come and "love" on Rebekah and tell her she needed to go back to sleep. He was able to give her some loves and she seemed to go back to sleep, so that was good.

I finally got up about 9:00 and the headache was better, not gone, but better. Sarah had her breakfast. About 9:45 or so, Rebekah was screaming in her bed. I went in to check on her and she had thrown up. She needed cleaned up, the bed needed changed. All the while, Sarah is in her highchair and I'm having to keep her with food and make sure that she stays IN her highchair. Just what I wanted to deal with when I'm not feeling well.

Both girls took a late morning nap. When I put Rebekah down, I started her nutrition up again. After 30 minutes or so, she was throwing up again. Uugh! It was turning into one of those days. That was the end of Rebekah's nap. So much for Mommy getting a nap.

At that point, Rebekah and I worked on cleaning up the play room, so that we could see the carpet. She did a good job of helping. This evening, we can see a little more of the carpet than we did this morning, but I don't know that it is much more. The girls have since had much fun getting the toys back out and spreading them around.

Today, we got a care package from Cherie from New York, full of yummy treats as well as soaps and things. Thank you so much Cherie! It was very thoughtful and greatly appreciated.

Rebekah continues to play the "I want whoever is not taking care of me right now" game. We are trying not to let her get away with it. Oh the games children will play! In addition to that one, there is also the "I'm going to turn my nutrition pump off and on as I see fit" game and "I'm not going to stay in my bed, like I'm supposed to" game.

The other morning, about 1:30 or so, I was hearing Rebekah. At the time, she was not connected to her nutrition. She managed to open her bedroom door and by the time I caught up with her, she was in Daddy's office (which is attached to the house, but through another closed door) and calling for Daddy. She seemed to think that since Daddy wasn't sitting in his chair, he must be outside. She was at the office door (to the outside), knocking on the door and saying Daddy come. I tried to explain to her that Daddy was sleeping and that she needed to go back to sleep. At that point, she wanted her food connected back up, so I started it up at a very slow rate. Lately, she hasn't been getting very far out of bed while she's connected, so I figured having her connected would keep her in bed.
