The choir of angels were going to sing today because my kids were going back to school. I was going to have 3 glorious hours this morning to myself to get caught up on everything. But life rarely works out the way we expect it to does it?

At 4am I wake to hearing Noah moaning and crying. I plod down to his room without my glasses. His light is on and he is writhing on his bed. I bring him to me in a hug and can feel the warmth of a fever.

Sleepy Me: What’s the matter Noah?
Sick Boy Noah: “My head hurts”.

I tell him I’ll go get him some medicine. I plod back to my room and go to the bathroom fumbling around looking for the dang kidlet pain meds. It’s 4 am, I give him some motrin, turn off his light, kiss him and plod back to bed. All is quiet. After about 45 mins, I fall back asleep.

I sleep through my radio alarm (who turned the volume down?!) and awaken to my husband shaking me at 7:50. “We overslept!”

Sure. The one day this whole vacation my kids decide to sleep in!

I go to wake the girls and see Noah is puking in the toliet. Just a little bit. Looks strangely like See’s Chocolate. Maybe 2 or 3 pieces worth. When did he eat chocolate? So as he flushes the toliet I’m wondering where and when the heck he ate chocolate. Does this make me a bad mom? I’m not worrying that he has the pukes so much, but more wondering about the contents of the puke.

Sleepy Me: Noah did you eat Mommy’s chocolate?

Sick Boy Noah: No.

Sleepy Me: Noah, tell me the truth. That looks like chocolate puke.

Know it All Dinara: Yep. It’s chocolate puke. I know what chocolate puke looks like.

Sick Boy Noah: Ok. Yes. But it didn’t taste like chocolate when I puked it.

Well alrighty then.

Sleepy Me: Did you go back to sleep after I gave you the medicine?

Sick Boy Noah: No. I went downstairs and played Game Cube. And got some chocolate when I got hungry.

Sleepy Me: But I told you to go back to bed.

Sick Boy Noah: I did go back to bed. Then I got up.

Sleepy Me: How ya feelin?

Sick Boy Noah: I’m ok mommy. But I don’t want anymore candy.

Sleepy Me to Hubby: Guess I don’t have to worry about him eating See’s Candy anymore!
