Sick Kids and Plugged toilets

I was sleeping so nicely last night and for the second night in a row I get the 4 am wake up call. Eden had to go potty. I think because the meds wore off and her fever was back. So we go potty and flush and then I hear the water splashing on the floor. YUCK!!!!! Naomi is up at this point so I send her to my bathroom and Mike is up trying to clear the toilet. I get them meds again and tucked back int0 bed. Mike is very angry by now (he has also been sick and who wants to fix a toilet ever, but especially at 4 am). I am gathering up the nasty towels starting the washer when Mike tells me that he can't find the snake to fix the toilet. We don't know if we loaned it out or what, not that it matters at this time of day! So we lock the door so no one else will do their business until Mike can fix it tonight when he gets home. I get to stay home with the 4 sick children. Yes,you read that right. My 4 youngest are sick. I'm stuck at home when I was looking forward to going shopping for a baby shower gift. And I have to share MY bathroom with 4 sick kiddos. And yes, I am whining! Now my biggest hope for the day is that they will all nap at the same time.

Jenny- I am glad to hear that someone else is trapped in the house this week. I have been home for four days now with feverish clinging children and Ithought I had it bad. I am sorry to say that a plugged toilet and two extra children home trumped me. Sorry that you are stuck, but I have to say I understand. Good luck. Ronda
