Mercedes baptized her room. . .

Since Mercedes moved into her new room, she is scared at night. Granted, she's all by herself now in a room and it's on a different floor than the rest of us. Poor thing. Yesterday after getting home from work/daycare, she said her tummy hurt and she had diarrhea. We thought it was anxiety and stress. She played with Sierra in her room and everything was fine. I gave her a puke bucket and she laid down and went to sleep. About 11pm I heard crying and then I heard Jon run from second floor to 3rd floor and I made it to 2nd just as he made it to Mercedes' room and he yelled, "BECKY, GET UP HERE NOW!" Yeah. What a lovely sight to behold. Mercedes had chunks hanging in her hair and it was all over her clothes and spread all over her face! She sprayed the wall and managed to get a little bit on every blanket she had on her bed. The majority was on herself and her sheets, but she did get it on the wall and on her BRAND NEW CARPET! GRRRRR. Poor thing. We didn't get mad, but my Lord, that was hard to see! Thank Heavens that Jon got the second floor laundry room done as now that's the second time that we have had both washers and both dryers going in the middle of the night. lol. No time for sleep at the Suedbeck household. I asked her where she wanted to sleep because I was nervous about letting her sleep in her own bed because I wouldn't be able to hear her from the library where we sleep. I didn't want to sleep downstairs with her (on the main floor) because there's no beds. So, we still had Sierra's old mattress on the floor in the big room on 2nd floor and I asked her if she wanted to sleep there and then she's right next to us. She said, "YES, MOMMY! YES, YES, YES!!!" No kidding, I just put a blanket on the mattress, then put her Dora sleeping bag on top of that and then her Dora pillow and she was out within 5 minutes. She was so overly tired. By the time she went to sleep, I suppose it was 11:30pm. By the time I went to sleep it was about 1:30am because Jon and I were still working on the house. I thought for sure that I'd be home with her today, but she woke up just fine! Ugh. So, here I am at work. . . :0) and working hard I might add! lol. I am glad that I was able to come to work today because I did get tons of stuff done and this is technically my break time anyway.

I told Mercedes not to tell Kim (daycare) that she had puked or Kim would get mad wondering why I brought her to daycare if she was sick in the night. Well, it's 4:06pm and she never called that Mercedes was sick. WOO HOOOO!

*Note: a few days after the 2nd laundry room was done, Lincoln puked several times that night. So that's when we had both washers/dryers going at the same time. Ugh. Good thing we have 2 of both! :0)

Peace.
