What a day

Yesterday was quite the day. Started off at 4:28 am. Yep, that's when Kaden decided he wanted to join me in bed. I let him crawl in because I was too tired to put him back to bed. (Push-over. I know.)

20 minutes later, Kaden decides he's uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable too. He willing goes back to his own bed. Oh good. Maybe I'll be able to sleep after all.

10 minutes later. Kaden comes in bare bummed telling me that he needs a new diaper. He informed me that the other one was wet. I find the new diaper, cover my child and send him back to bed.

5 minutes later. Kaden is up again because he can't find his bucket. Yes, he slept with a throw-up bucket because he said he wanted to. I wasn't in the mood to fight that one. If he wants to sleep with a bucket, so be it. I just never thought that he would whine about the dumb bucket at 4 something in the morning. We find the bucket. It was on the floor next to the bed. I'm thinking that I'll never allow Kaden to have a late nap ever again.

25 minutes later. He's back. This time he's pulling in his pillow and blanket and has now camped out on the floor at the foot of my bed. I try to sleep but I'm a little out of whack.

6:00 a.m. rolls around Kaden says his tummy hurts. I'm whining. He's whimpering. Maybe he needed that bucket after all. We pull his bedding next to me on the floor and I reach down and stroke his head for while until he falls back to sleep. I know full well that the stupid alarm clock will be ringing in half and hour. It does. I think bad thoughts about the dumb alarm. And guess what? Kaden sleeps right on through it. Figures.

It's now 7:00 a.m. Ethan heads into the bathroom and then informs me that there is pee all over the floor. Only it's not pee. Oh, it's just the ceiling leaking from all the rain. Wonderful.

Yeah, the water is leaking in through the fan vent. Doesn't that rusty, dirty water look seriously disgusting? I know it's going to be a GREAT day! Can you sense my sarcasm there?

It rained all day. The ceiling dripped water constantly all day. Ryan was gone all day. Abby was on one and was sent to time out more than just a few times. But you know what? The day actually ended up all right. Because we had a few successes on this bad boy:

The sticker chart actually has some stickers on it. I'll call that a win for the day!

And then this:

Josh wanted to cook dinner. So I let him. Oh course I was there to supervise but he did it all on his own. I think I might have to let him cook more often.

It's finally 9:00 pm. The kids are finally in bed. Ryan is still gone at a basketball game so I crawl into bed thinking I'll zonk right to sleep and guess what? I'M NOT TIRED. Figures.
