Snow & Sickness

We woke up this morning to a very heavy snow. It has lightened up but just as all our snow had melted away it is now fully covered in white again. I have to admit I am not as pleased or excited about this snowfall as say in December, but it's not terrible either. The good thing is we know that within hours to a day or two the sun will be out and it will be mostly melted away. Nothing stays too long. The worse part was last night. I stayed up til 12:30am trying to organize, clean, go through things- way too late, but at times those are the only hours I have to get anything done around here. Needless to say I headed to bed exhausted and with a headache. But...not for long... at a little after 1am I hear Zach coming up the stairs complaining and saying that Josh needs a drink of water. (If only that had been it) so I get a cup of water and head down to his room. It's dark so I can't see much but I am stepping on wet carpet and smell the awful aroma of throw up! When I flip on the light there is red throw up everywhere (he had had red jello and red licorice before going to bed). He had managed to get it on his sheets, comforter, the bunkbed and ladder, down on Zach's bottom bunk, all over the floor including stuffed animals and toys, books, etc. So I spent the next 45 minutes cleaning up finally went up stairs when Zach started to throw up- luckily he was in the kitchen gettting a drink at the time so it was contained to the sink and floor. After getting that cleaned and him settled I finally got back in bed around 2 am. Just as I was about out Lexi woke up seeming like she was going to throw up so I ran her to the bathroom and she did, but just a little bit. I was afraid that was just the beginning of a continuous night of throw up and clean up but thankfully we didn't hear from anyone the rest of the night- praise the Lord. This morning everyone seems ok- I don't know what hit last night, but I am glad it seems to be gone. It is now 12pm and I am still in my pj's, exhausted, with laundry going and more loads lined up, and we have to figure out how to get the red stains off the carpet. So with snow and sickness recovery and clean up it's definitely a stay at home day. Yesterday was a much better day we had beautiful weather and took a hike. I will get some of those photos on at some point.
