Wednesday, August 18:
1:30am - Kellan wakes up and is completely plugged up, coughing, hoarse and miserable. I feed him, saline/suction, hold him, love him...nothing is working. At 5:30am, I lay him in his pack-n-play screaming. I had tried everything and was giving up. I lay in the bed beside him and my thoughts drift back to the same place...are my choices wearing my children down. Have they had enough? As tears stream down my face, I remind myself for the time being...I have no choice!
7:30am - I hear Easy (Easton) upstairs saying "momma". I jump out of bed to greet that sweet face and make sure Aimee gets off to work. Check on mom and remind her that we need to leave the house by 11am.
7:30-10:30 - Feed, change diapers, dress, do hair, pack lunches for our pic-nic, etc. Get mom up and at em'.
11:00am - All 4 kids (Livi, Ri, Easy and my Lover), mom and myself are headed to the hospital to meet Aunt Missy. Arrive at the hospital ON-TIME 11:45am for mom's lab work, hand her off to Missy who is going to go inside with her, so all the kids don't have to sit in a waiting room. I park across the street from the hospital, jump into the back and start handing out food to the big girls and feeding the little ones. Did I mention it is pouring the rain...it was!
12:45pm - Missy calls me and says they are dropping her perscriptions off to go ahead and drive over to pick her up. I clean up the mess and jump in the front seat to start the car. It doesn't start! Battery dead. I check lights, doors, etc. to try to figure out what has happened and I call Missy back..."can't get over there, car is dead!" Missy response, "seriously"...Yep! She grabs her car and comes to our location. We squeeze her truck into a space meant for a small, compact car. Mom removes herself from the van because she can't stand to watch. I get the jumper cables hooked up and then here comes daddy. Thank You Jesus! Cars are running, so he follows us to Auto Store to get new battery.
2:00pm - Missy heads to get her root-canal, daddy heads back to work, I take my load back home!
3:00pm - We are now home, I am praying all kids take a nap! Not looking good! Kellan goes to sleep, the rest are up and at em'.
4:30pm - Missy comes in, we talk, laugh and start trying to figure out dinner. Finally it stops raining and the girls can go outside.
5:30pm - Daddy gets home, we are cooking, I happen to look out the kitchen window. I see Ri with her pants around her ankles and scream out..."what is Ri doing with her pants down?" Daddy and Missy join me at the window only to find both girls, pants down in the back yard, peeing? Missy is out the door, I am cracking up with dad. We are still at a loss for the WHY? behind that ordeal! (I might know the why behind this, but that's another story for another day!)
6:30-7:30ish - Jake and Aimee get home, we all eat dinner and all kids have their "no-nap" breakdowns. Missy heads out with Liv and of course Ri wants to go. I kiss my girl goodbye!
8:30pm - Jake and Aimee go home, my little Lover is exhausted and I put him to bed.
9:00pm - I relax with mom and dad on the couch and pass out.
Just another day in the life!
