As Taylor and I woke up this morning I focused my eyes on the clock. It was 10:00 a.m. What!? We turned on the monitor and heard Mercedes breathing away in her sleep.
WOW, we slept until 10, because SHE slept until 10! She didn't actually wake up until almost 10:30, which I came to find out later that it was probably because she had a fever and has not been feeling well since. But she got 15 hours of sleep last night. Sheesh. I'm a happy mom.
Mercedes has had a cold for the last week or two but now it's moved to her lungs and she's been coughing like crazy. And the thing with Mercedes is that she has one of the most sensitive gag reflexes of anyone I know. A couple of times today her coughing has ended in a big mess to clean up. Yes, it's becoming one of those days.
Thank you Taylor for cleaning up the mess on Mercedes' floor for me while I cleaned up Mercedes.
Thank you Tammy and Hannah for getting me a clean shirt, and for cleaning the mess on the kitchen floor while I stripped Mercedes down and put her in the tub.
I hope and pray that it doesn't have to happen again. It's just not the funnest.
Mercedes is napping now and I really need to get myself cleaned up.
I'm looking forward to Tuesday!

OH MAN Kenze, that sounds awful! It's so miserable when the kids have to get sick and there's really nothing you can do. I wonder who it's harder on? Them, or us moms? Hope you guys can have a week soon where you're ALL feeling better!
Awww, major bummer! I can kind of relate to that fun routine of stripping them down, washing their clothes, your clothes, the floor, and whatever else got "stuff" on it. I just potty trained Brady and for a few days, ALL I DID, it felt like, was clean up POOP.
I hope she's feeling better! And congrats on sleeping 'til 10:00 a.m. That is truly something to blog about and celebrate!
