Everyone has been feeling cruddy. No fevers, just aches and queasy feelings. I mentioned wanting tea with my dinner and that I wanted to go to bed early. Jason and Maddy sacked out at 6 pm, and the boys were playing Infinity for a while until their bedtime of 7 pm. But Jason had mentioned that there were towels still in the dryer, as well as another load of towels. So I started the other load and stayed up long enough to get that load done and transferred to the dryer. (I wrote smut. Are we surprised? No, no we are not.)
As soon as I get upstairs, Jason wants more blankets because he's shivering and cold. I go back downstairs to get him some blankets. Around 2 am, Maddy comes into our room freaking out because she heard noises that creeped her out, even over the sound of the Star Wars radio play CD she's been listening to. I caved and said she could climb into bed with us, but that my alarm was going to go off at 4 am. She promised to exercise with me.
I shut off my 4 am alarm when it went off. She was half asleep and saying "Nuh" when I asked if she was going to exercise with me, and I was groggy enough to think I could catch a snooze. I shut off the 4:10 alarm and didn't get up right away, so I wound up falling back asleep. The 4:30 alarm went off and didn't wake me up right away. Then Nick got up at 5 am and came to our room because he wanted to go potty, then changed his mind and didn't want to. Zach apparently woke up when he made noise, and then he started freaking out because he didn't see Nick in bed and got scared that something happened to him and he started screaming. So I had to go take care of the boys and get their day started, because there was no going back to bed for them.
Jason wanted recognition for getting up more or less on time and helping in the morning even though he still felt sick. I stared at him like "Whut?" because I didn't get the sleep I wanted and still had to handle everyone. Like every Mom ever, basically. Then he told me that I didn't have to do the other load of towels and I could've gone to bed.
