Did I dream that? Am I really that unlucky?

There is no way all that could have happened in one night.

I have had bad night before, but I can not remember one time in the last 6 years of being a mother one being this bad.  When I woke up this morning (and trust me I didn’t want to)  I said to myself I have to write that down because there is no way I could remember it all later.  Justin didn’t come home last night. He had been working at his parents house 40 minutes away. When he called at 8:30 and said he would be home after he ate dinner and that he had to be back over at his parents at the butt crack of dawn I asked him to spend the night over there.  It made sense.  I wasn’t going to go into labor and I could handle things alone.  What I didn’t know is that I would soon be experiencing chaos!!!

10:30 PM - Lilya is still a awake.  She wants to come sleep with me on “daddy’s side”  I tell her to go to sleep and she does.

11:30Pm-  I fall asleep

12:00am-  Lily wakes up screaming I go and grab her and bring her in to my room. 

12:15 am - still screaming mommy is tired and wants to sleep.  I break down and give her a binky.  When she calms down she insists on telling me all about the binky and wants to know what color it is.  She also lets me know her bottom is itchy.  I put medicine on her poor itchy bottom and she falls asleep at about 12:30 am.

1:30 Am - Thunder and lightening start in.  I decided to get up and close all the windows. They have fans in them so I go around and take out the fans and close the windows.  In quintons room I drop the fan on top of Quinton’s toy chest scaring the crap out of him.  It takes me 10 minutes to calm him down and get him to fall asleep.

2:23 AM-  I wake up before the huge lighting crack hits.  I always do this I don’t understand it but I do.  I know it is coming.  It is like one of those fireworks that are just noisy and not pretty.  I hate those.  Lilya sleeps through it , but because I had just woken Quin up Quinton Screams out and is in my room in an instant.  I couldn’t convince him to sleep in his room and the lighting was so bad I couldn’t blame him so we grabbed Lily’s crib mattress of her bed and brought it in my room. I got him all settled on the floor but of course he needed a teddy bear and then he wanted to keep the flash light close so that if the power went out he wouldn’t be afraid and then he had to pee.  The moment he was settled The storm went crazy and so I decided to run out to the living-room and check the  internet for any tornado warnings. 

2:45 - I walk out into the dark living room and kicked a glass that was on the floor.  The kicked glass slid into another glass and exploded into a million pieces.  I remember sighing “go ahead Justin spend the night nothing is going to go wrong” Sarcastically under my breath.  After I checked the weather I walked over broken glass to get back to the bedroom.  Quinton was gone when I got back.  He was peeing again.  I was getting frustrated of course and I was so tired.  Quinton went fell a sleep Lilya was asleep I was up listening to the storm.  I fell asleep at about 3:45. 

4:00 AM - Lilya Rolls over and her arm smacks me in the face like a whip.  Am I an candid camera.  Really is this happening because I don’t think it is funny. 

4:30 AM - Lilya begins to whimper and cry every 2 to 3 minutes.  I can’t figure out what is going on.  She is moving all over the place.

4:45 am - Lilya has decided that she is going to wake up for the day.  I am just about in tears.  I tell her it is not morning and she needs to be quiet because she is going to wake up Quin.  She wants to talk about her binky.  “This one is pink mommy”  “I like my pink pasy, It is my mommy passy.”  It was lost and I found it.  I love it my beautiful pink passy.” 

5:30 am - I give up and turn on the tv. 

6:00  am - Quinton is up and he joins us in bed I Pass out!!

7:20 am - We all get up I spend 30 minutes trying to pick up all the glass and get breakfast.  I realize at this moment that Lilya ate only a 4th of a piece of toast last night and she was hungry all night.  This is most likely why she was up all night and if I had given her a gram cracker at 12:00 she would have gone back to sleep.

Present time-  I AM ON STRIKE!!  until I get a nap nothing is going to happen today.  Nothing at all.  Do you blame me.
