What a week!

Wow! We have had quite a week around here...and it's only Wednesday! I'll try to give the abridged version, via bullet points.

* We have a busy week at church, getting ready for our Big Give Away scheduled for this weekend. Lesley has been spending all free time next door setting up for it.
* Monday afternoon Drew refused to take a nap, so he was SUPER crabby all afternoon and night long. Lesley very frustrated.
* Also on Monday night, Brad got sick. Like tossing-his-cookies sick. Gross. So Lesley went to Bible Study at church while Drew was in the nursery and Brad was at home kissing the toilet.
* Brad calls me just before 9pm to tell me he needed me. I come home. He wants to go to Urgent Care because he's dehydrated, all tingly, and is on the verge of hyperventilating.
* I rush back to church to arrange for someone to stay with Drew while I take Brad to the doctor. THANK THE LORD for Chris! She tucked Drew in and stayed at our house until we returned. (She even called into work and left a message that she might be late in the morning depending on what happened with Brad... such a sweetie!!)
* Brad gets an IV, pain meds, and anti-nausea meds while in UC... They wanted to rule out appendicitis. Brad better after a couple hours, back home at 12:30am.
* Luci not feeling well, Lesley can't sleep because she's worried that Luci will be the next to spill her guts. (Turns out, Luci was fine, just a gurgly tummy.)
* Tuesday morning, Drew up at 7am... a total of 5.5 hours of sleep for Lesley.
* (Sit tight... here's the clincher.) Drew has had diarrhea for past week as the last symptom of an upset stomach last week. I accidentally drag his pjs through it while I change him. Put him in clothes for the day. While Drew's eating breakfast in his high chair, he poops again and it goes ALL OVER, exploding out of his diaper. Up to the tub for a spray down. Drew runs away back into his bedroom, without his diaper on, and proceeds to finish the job on his bedroom floor! I race him into the bathroom, where he pees on the floor there before I can get his diaper on. (I totally would've won $10,000 on Funniest Videos if only I had the camcorder on!)
* Lesley breathes, says "Why me?!?!", and then laughs.
* Brad feeling better, but takes the day off to rest and drink plenty of fluids.
* Drew exhausted, takes a 3 hour nap Tuesday afternoon. (Lesley back to church to work.)
* This morning, Luci wakes Lesley up at 3:45 to potty. Consequently, Lesley can't fall back asleep before she had to get up at 5:30 to do more work for the Big Give Away. Lesley gets 5.5 hours of sleep.
* Most everything back to normal today, but again Drew refused to nap this afternoon.
* Calling in reinforcements tomorrow... Gma and Gpa VW arriving tomorrow for the duration!!!

I need to go to bed now. I'm exhausted. :)
