By The Numbers

My weekend, by the numbers...

7 bouts of vomit
1 direct hit on Mommy
2 kids with fevers
102 the average temperature of aforementioned 2
72 hours of whining
5 hours of sleep for Mommy
3 nights in which those 5 hours were accrued
3 movies which acted as babysitters
1 heavenly grocery store trip alone

1 baby mouth discovered full of dog food
0 children who live in this house who have never eaten dog food
1 baby kick felt!
1 "maybe that was just gas..."


All are healthy and happy now, and Mommy is taking the day off!
