Today is going to be a long day...

My day started at 4:00am. This is much better than the 2:30am day yesterday. Why did I wake up so early... My poor Dallin man has the flu. That is why I was up at 2:30 yesterday. I helped him find his bowl got him a drink of water and laid down next to him. About an hour later I woke because I thought the house was on fire but it was just Dallin. He was burning up. I gave him some medicine and put him back to bed. About 10 mins after I laid down Corey arrived home from work and I told him what was happening. I laid there a little longer then Dallin came running into my room shouting something frantic about it being to big like I have, not making any sense so I told him to run to the toilet. I wasn't sure what he was talking about but if it was throw up that was to big I surely didn't want to have to clean it out of my carpet. So I took him to his bathroom and he kept freaking out shaking his hands and grabbing his throat and then raising his hands in the air and shaking them and then back down close to the ground. You may have thought he was doing some dancing ritual. He looked terrified, then I thought that maybe he was having one of his night terrors. He gets those every once in a while. He was a bit more awake this time than usual so I wasn't what it was, but it definitely wasn't normal. After a while he walked back to his bed and said a few more things that didn't make a whole lots of sense and then started to fall asleep. He woke back up with a gasp and started the freaking out all over again. He said his room was too big and it was freaking him out and he needed to get out. So he walked to the hall and sat down and kept looking back into his room like it was a terrifying place. I sat there with him asking if I could help him with anything. He finally decided to try to go back to bed. So then I headed back to bed only to be woke shortly after by my other 3 healthy children with requests of food and cuddles. I sat down for maybe 5 minutes to cuddle with Bryant when Charlie couldn't take it any longer and HAD TO HAVE FOOD!!!! So I got up and made then all peanut butter sandwiches. Then after I was done making those it was requests of cereal. Charlie didn't eat his. The Dallin woke up and said he was hungry. He wanted malt-o-meal. I wasn't excited about making that but if that is what my tiny skinny sick boy wanted I was gonna make him some. He kept running back to his bowl for fear he was going to throw up. I made his malt-o-meal, he never ate it but did touch it making it unsharable (don't think that is even a word). Then he wanted a bath so I ran some water for him. Charlie ran it and wanted a bath too. I told him that Dallin needed this one for himself. About two minutes later Dallin was done with the bath, he said it made him feel worse. But he did manage to spit in the bath a couple times so there was no sharing of that water either. I got him situated in his bed with some gatorade and a movie and his bowl. Ashe came in and said he was sick to because he wanted to watch the movie also. I told not a chance. He threw and fit and I had to peel his fingers from the chair and drag him out of the room. He pouted for a while outside the room. I ran some new water for Charlie and was getting him in the bath. Bryant came in and requested some malt-o-meal also. Luckily Charlie only wanted a 2 minute bath also. Why did I waste all that water??? I headed to the kitchen to make more malt-o-meal for Bryant then Charlie saw and wanted some too. So I made Bryant share which he wasn't happy about. Then I started making a cake for a party tomorrow. Charlie has to help when he sees anything happening in the kitchen. I finished the cake and charlie threw a huge fit that I wouldn't let him eat it. I took the trash out and then sat down to relax and play on my phone for a bit. As soon as I went to sit down Charlie jumped up in the chair and insisted that I sit on HIS lap. I told him he could sit on mine but he wasn't having it. So I sat on his lap fora few seconds then he told me ok and said that it was his chair. I found a different seat and as soon as I sat down, like a leach Bryant was right next to me saying snuggle time. So we snuggled and I watched a video on my phone. I had to pause the video 5 or 6 times before I gave up and got up to make some juice for my parched children. For peat sake, they may have died if I did it a second later. Now I have a two year pulling my arm to go outside and draw on the ground. So off I go. Oh and this is all before 11 am!!!
