WHAT I WOUND UP DOING LAST NIGHT/TODAY:

1. 1. Can’t think of anything to write about. Click a lot of “likes” on Facebook instead.
3. 2. Get 2 kids to bed early. Then fall asleep in my son’s bed, trying to get HIM to sleep. Wake up when he is finally ready to sleep, an hour later.
5. 3. Head to bed at 10… then get re-routed to Racheli’s room, where she has thrown up all over her bed.
7. 4. Spend the next 2+ hours with Racheli as she barfs & writhes in pain, etc.
9. 5. Sleep uncomfortably with 2 little knees poking into my back.
11.  6. Wake up at 6:15 to the words, “Ima, my stomach hurts.”
13. 7. Keep the bucket handy for Racheli while waking and getting the other 2 ready for school.
15. 8. Yell at Yehuda for stealing, chewing, then spitting onto the floor an entire pack of gum.
17. 9. Try to figure out how to get any work done, for me or my husband, while Racheli is still here and not feeling well.
19. 10. Write this blog.

Happy Monday!
