2:30 AM-Went to bed, I know I stay up too late.
3:30 AM-Woke up to a crying Chloe
4:00 AM-(while still trying to get Chloe back to sleep) Hear Alyssa puking in the bathroom. She had thrown up earlier in the day but we thought it had passed. Dang it!
4:15 AM-Get both girls back into bed and go back to sleep myself
6:00 AM-Seth gets up to get ready for a 7 AM meeting at church.
2 seconds later Alyssa throws up and then gets in my bed
A few minutes later Seth leaves for meeting
The next 2 hours- We try to figure out which one of us should stay home with Alyssa
Seth is supposed to teach 3rd hour.
I have to do sharing time 2nd hour...
And again 3rd hour
Maybe he can do my sharing time
But then he'll be late for his class 3rd hour.
Alright, the only choice is to dump his class.
Sorry Mike, but thank you!
Seth goes to the 7AM meeting
And then to sacrament meeting
Because the youth are speaking about the Nauvoo trip from earlier this week.
Maybe Seth will post about the trip???
It sounds like it was AWESOME!
9:45 AM-I meet Seth at the church after sacrament meeting with all 3 kids in the van.
One of whom is holding in her lap the bucket of puke that allowed us to make the 20 minute drive from our house to the church.
Seth goes home with the girls.
Me and Alex go to church.
Do Sharing Time twice.
And now to figure out who gets to go to the next meeting?
Me and Seth were both supposed to go to a meeting at 3 PM
Our friends were going to watch our kids
But we don't want to make their kids sick too
So we scramble and get someone to fill in for Seth..again
Such awesome people in our ward.
12:00 get home from church
Eat lunch
SOOOO TIRED!!!
But a few months ago we got a handwritten note informing us that our Alyssa's art was going to be showcased
One day only
At the Festival of Arts and Flowers
We had to go see it
So off to the park we went
Cross our fingers that no one pukes
We ran in to see her cute green dog puppet
Named pink
We were out 5 minutes later
PUKE FREE! PHEW!
We were very proud though.
Her school had 21 selections in the show
So go ALYSSA and PINK
1:00 Home at last and I need a nap
But no
We watched the end of the US Open
And I went back to church
Then Seth ran around trying to gather food dehydrators to get ready for his upcoming Scout trip
And now all kids are in bed and I am...
OH SO RESTED!
Actually I am exhausted but I do love Sundays...even the busy, barfy ones.
And without further ado...
here is Alyssa with PINK!
And after this post I promise to go back to my usual long paragraph, run-on sentence form. My mind was too lazy for complete sentences, let alone run-on ones right now.

Hi Julie,
'Pink' looks like he/she should be on Sponge Bob. Do you mean you watched the British Open? Tom Watson looked like he was going to puke on that last putt. Too bad... I was hoping he'd win. Your day sounds like one you'll probably repeat again as time goes on. I am proud of you and Seth and your service in the Church.
Take care,
Dad
Alyssa I love your dog puppet--green and pink are two of my favorite colors especially the way you used them together. Keep painting--you did a great job. Love, Grandma King
I love Pink the dog. I especially like that he is a green dog named Pink, that is awesome!
Did you watch golf voluntarily? Yuck!
I am so sorry! What a crazy day! Your amazing for even trying to juggle it all around like you did. I about got a headache thinking about your craziness. How do you do it....?
That sounds like a fun day? I hope today is puke free! Awesome art Alyssa! We miss you guys!
I remember too well days like that. Hope today's tons better. Absolutely love "Pink"!!!!!!! - Aunt Julie
Ugh, what a horrible day for you! Glad you were able to get a quick peek at Alyssa's "Pink". It's very cute, and she looks quite proud. I hope Alyssa makes a speedy recovery and that no one else in your household gets ill.
Okay, the British Open...I told you I was tired. I didn't even know what I was watching. I wanted Tom Watson to win too since Tiger was already long gone.
And yes, Val I watched voluntarily. I like golf, just don't ask me to play it.
No one is puking today so we are off to a great start!
I remember those days well. Enjoy every minute, even the puking ones, they go by very quickly and each moment is precious. Alyssa, love Pink the puppet.
Yuck, yuck, gross. I hate throw up. I hate watching it, doing it and cleaning it up! My heart aches for you!
I think next time you should just stay home from church, have the primary kids do their own sharing time. I'm sure they'll come up with something great.
May the yucks be gone FOREVER!!
I too love the dog, I think he looks great. Sorry about the puke. I have to agree that Sundays are becoming less and less a day of rest for me.
nothing like some puke and church to end your weekend. Corey loves when kids get sick...he just seems to graciously volunteer to stay home.
WOW! I am totally loving Pink. I'm sorry that you had such a busy day but you have such a good attitude. :)
Bummer. Hope the pukes have passed. Love Pink, that's too cute!
Your kids puke A LOT! Too bad! At least you can handle it! Knock on wood, Aubrey has still been puke free her whole 2 years! Again knock on wood, but I have a feeling we are going to be dealing with sleep issues and tonsils and possibly adenoids in the next few years! Our terrible 2's consist of doctor's visits... insurance cards hurry up and come!!! We are pressing our luck! You guys are a great family, so awe inspiring for you to even attempt going to church!
