Just a couple days ago, I was wishing to myself for just one day to catch up on a few things......

Well I GOT IT!!! Last night my 4 year old seemed to be fighting extra hard to go bed.... telling me her stomach hurt. I still convinced her to go to bed.

At about 11:30 (I had just fallen asleep) I heard a faint yet terrified voice saying "MOMMY" :(

She was standing at my bedside covered in vomit. She has got sick in her bed, while sound asleep, and was therefore covered. I got her cleaned up, got the bed cleaned up, and put her in my bed.

I got her situated with a bowl, and a large towel to avoid stripping another bed! My poor daughter continued to heave about every 15 - 20 min until almost 4am....

WHICH MEANT I WAS STAYING HOME!!!!!!! As she couldn't go to daycare and I don't have anyone else here to watch her.

Well not only was I exhausted, I hadn't really been to sleep yet, but I also have a 3 year old who was not sick and required my full attention as well.

I guess the moral to my story is be more specific in what you ask for!!! :^O

I got to stay home and spend the day with my girls, got caught up on some cleaning, organizing, and even a little sleep! And now they are both great! We had an excellent girls day!!!!

With Love,
Crystal

Thank you all so much for your comments and kind words!

You'd never know she was even sick! She's back to full life!!!!

Create a fantastic day,

Dear Crystal,

I love how you always find the silver lining! As I read through your post, my heart went out to your little one and you (for lack of sleep -- that's still very present in my life, too!), and I thought "oh, what a bummer". (My family recently went through 2 whole months of one or more of us being sick, so I was focusing on that!) Then, you write that you got what you asked for, to stay home. :^O Truly, you are a blessing in this community and to your girls to be able to turn things around to the positive and see the humor in life. :-x Glad you're all well again!

With Blessings,
Jenna
Crystal,

It was a good intention, only Yes you do have to be more specific!:-p

Amazing thing also is how fast the universe responds! Even though your daughter was ill you had a blessing by getting to spend the extra time with them both. I bet they enjoyed the day also:-x

Hi Crystal,

I am sure the kind of day "to get caught up on things" that you were wishing for didn't include having a sick kid. But I'll bet it is a day that you will remember for awhile!

You do an excellent job of making the best of your challenges
