The Night That Wouldn't End

Have you ever had one of those days/nights when nothing went right? When you're pretty sure you should just stay in bed? When you think it's time to check yourself in because your sanity is on it's way out? Well, I had one of those nights. Monday night to be exact. Here's how it all went down...

Midnight - finally get to bed after Ellie's last feeding and changing

1:30am - get up with Joselyn because she has to go potty, get a drink and more cold medicine

3:30am - Ben woke up wet with pee from his armpits to his toes. I crawled back into bed around 4:00am after washing him up, changing his pjs, tearing his bed apart, throwing the wet laundry in the washer and fixing up his bed.

5:00am - Joselyn is back up in need of another drink

5:30am - Ellie is up because she thinks she needs to eat or something

5:45am - I have Ellie half way through the eating process when she fills her diaper. I lay her on the floor, wash up her little bottom and slip the new diaper under her. I lift up her legs to straighten out the diaper and she take that opportunity to poop. It goes all over the carpet and my leg. I get her cleaned up, scrub the carpet and change my clothes. I get back in bed around 6:15am.

8:00am - Ben wakes up wet again. That's right, he peed his bed again. At 8am I was giving him a bath and tearing his bed apart yet again.

Where's a padded room when you need it?
