- a 3 year old got car sick and threw up all over herself and the car again and you must clean it up the best you can, with baby wipes, and drive the rest of the way home (2 1/2 hours)
- taking apart a car seat to wash it in the washing machine, something you are somewhat of an expert at
- reminding yourself you are so lucky to be able to clean throw-up out of the car and car seats over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
fast forward a couple of days
- a sad 5 year old had an accident at night for the second time in 4 days and you must strip the bed and wash it all again because it never just gets on the big pad that is laying on the top
- a baby wakes up to eat 15min after you were already awakened for the aforementioned incident and doesn't go back to sleep for an hour and a half.
- the same baby wakes up less then an hour later and you have to sooth her in and out of sleep for the next hour before feeding her again.
- by 5am you realize you have gotten nearly no sleep since 12:30am
- in the morning a 3 year old complains of her head hurting many times so you know she really has a headache
- you are nearly ready to send the 3 year old to her Bears class when she throws up again, this time due to the headache and not car sickness. And this time a bowl catches most of it, but you still have to clean the kitchen floor, change her clothes, and wash the kitchen rug.
But you look at their faces and you love them more and you know that it is all worth it and tomorrow will probably be better.
