If you saw me right now you would have thought I have been to war. The kids started not feeling well Friday however it looked to me like a cold. This time of year we have at least one or two runny noses.  I didn't think it was that big of a deal. It still causes me about 2 hours less a night in sleep. I'm super mom I can hang with 5 hours of sleep.

Saturday night was a mom's nightmare every child woke up. Even if they felt good they woke up SCARED!!! From the others crying. Finally I gave in and at 4:00 in the morning I took them all downstairs gave them cereal medicine and let them watch cartoon until 7:00. About that time I saw their eyes start to close and noticed yippy the diamatap is kicking in. (I know they should have it until there 6 but this mama was in survival mode) I got them all tucked in and went back down stairs to lie on the couch. I drifted off for an hour and then woke up to Scarlett saying "mama silly why you sleep on the couch" I rolled over and went back to sleep. The kids continued to jump on me for 2 hours but I was so tired I only woke up occasionally when one would belt me in the face with a toy. I would open one eye to see a smiling face "sowwy mama" I heard Mike say we are all going to the mall. I was thinking why is he trying to torcher me? I slowly made it off the couch into the shower. Somehow I ended up going to toys r us with 4 of the kids. While Mike went to Sears with Weston to get tools for his new obsession. (Mike has a 1970 something motorcycle which doesn't run and he has been working on it for 2 solid months I am trying to be understanding.)

 Before putting the kids to bed I prepped them "now mama is so tired please don't wake me up unless you are sick." All six agreed, "ok mama you are tired I won't cry." just glad everyone understood it was very important I got my sleep. At 11:00 Scarlett comes running into my room "mama I scared I sleep with you" Mike is protesting telling me to put her back in bed. Truthfully I didn't have the energy to put my feet on the floor and walk down the hall. Lilli, mike, Scarlett and I settled in for what I thought would be the catch up sleep I needed. Around 2:30 I hear cami crying I went in her room to find she had a fever. I went down stairs and got her Ibprophen and then went back upstairs to sleep in her bed with her, as I slip into her bed I realize I am laying in pee. I decided to sleep in the basement with her. I no sooner get to sleep when I hear Scarlett rip roaring down the stairs. Ahh she sooner crawls in when I hear cami say  "I want a drink." Up again to the fridge to get water. As I walk up stairs cami starts gagging. By the time I reached the top she threw up. It is 5:00 I am covered in barf and Scarlett is trying to tell me she is sicker than cami. Calgon take me away!! I get back to sleep for an hour and then I am off getting all the kids ready for school. Lilli missed her bus because she couldn't find one of her library books. Then she goes on to say she is never going to school because now she has 4 points against her for checking out books. I don't know why she has points against her I paid for all the missing books. Mike came home thank goodness to get the kids dressed and in the car. I took the quints and mike took Lilli. When I get home with cami I see just how disasters my house is. I started in the kids rooms. Cami and belle both pottied their beds. Belle also decided to write on her wall with lip stick (bright red). I go in Aniston's room and that say red lip stick is on Aniston's floor.

So here I am I have been to war and I am tired and I am praying please lord let me sleep tonight and if you could throw in no sick kids I would greatly appreciate it!
