WATERMELON, MIGRAINES, MESS AND MAPLE SYRUP

My heading says it all. Yesterday i was sick with a virus. Vomiting, toilet non stop, headache, fevers and looking like i had seen a ghost as hubby put it nicely.
What a productive day the kids had, while i was dying on the couch, in between running to the toilet every 5 minutes.

I started the day giving them their breakfast, after telling them i was not by any means going to cook bacon & eggs for them like i normally do on a Saturday and then hurling at the thought of food.
Out came the crayons, textas, paper, playdoh and videos for them to watch.
I prayed that the textas would not end up on the wall, playdoh mushed into the carpet and crayons cut into tiny pieces once again.

Well i must say non of the above happened because within 10 minutes they decided to do everything but!
While i was in the bathroom once again, Chloe decided to get the watermelon out of the fridge and try to cut it herself with a bread knife, leaving watermelon squashed all over the floor, Jordan decided to climb on a chair and unlocked the pantry cuboard, getting out the maple syrup and leaving a sticky mess everywhere.

After all the mess was cleaned up, i heard Nicolas screaming out to me that Jordan had locked himself in our bedroom because one of the door knobs had fallen off and the pin to turn the handle had fallen out on his side of the door.
Between Jordan getting Hysterical and Nicolas screaming "dont worry Jordan Mummy will save you" i had to pull a door knob off from one of the other bedrooms with the pin to open it, feeling like i was going to pass out, i finally opened the door, and after thinking that mission for the day was over, was to only to find out 1 hour later the same thing had happened again, this time with Nicolas & Jordan locked in the room together, screaming bloody murder and Chloe crying out Muuuummmmmy can you save them?

I looked at the clock again and it was lunchtime and all i could think of was gawwd i have to make them something to eat soon, the thought of food again, made me run to the bathroom and hurl again. After this i felt somewhat better, so decided to make them lunch while i was feeling better momentarily.

After making Nicolas & Chloe ham sandwiches, Jordan vegemite toast, thought i could now try and lay down my weery head on the couch while the kids were watching videos and fell asleep, only to awake what i think was 15 minutes later, to a mess of half eaten sandwiches & toast on the loungeroom floor with the cat eating the ham out of them, and Chloe telling me mum i'm hungry still! mum we're thirsty!

All i could do at this point in time was to ignore them and hope that the little voices i was hearing in my head would go away and forget what they were asking for.
Nicolas was my saviour that day, he helped clean up all the mess and I have promised to give him something special for being such a caring and helpful fellow.

I am also proud to say that Jordan has taken on a 2 new roles also, everytime he would poor himself a drink he would make sure to get 2 other cups out and poor drink into them also (without spilling a drop) for Nicolas and Chloe and leave them on the bench for them and has also decided to help me out by putting any left over food away in the fridge even though it is to go in the bin. I must say we have raised 2 sensitive new age guys.

Chloe throughout the day did keep reminding me of how much she loved me, smothering me with kisses after making such a awful mess with Jordan.

When hubby finally came home from work he did wonder why some of the door knobs were missing and because i was too sick, i couldnt explain to him what had happened. I think all he managed to get out of me was some sort of grunt and i'm going to bed! Love you, Goodnight!
