   OK, so I know this seems pretty insignificant compared to what other people have been thru lately, but I want time out from my life!
 I was doing fine, Willie let me sleep half the day today coz I was up all night with various children, but now both gremlins have a tummy bug    I have changed Mercedes cot 3 times and Sienna's once. They now have towels instead of cot sheets coz I've run out of clean sheets, no sleep sacks coz they're all spewed on and both Bunny and Peter are soaking wet coz they spewed on them and I had to wash them and so now they won't cuddle them and are screaming in their cots probably spewing some more    How the hell am I going to get thru the night? Willie is asleep, he only woke up when I dumped the two crying gremlins on him so I could change their cots yet again, he is useless as always. I have a finite supply of clean towels, and on top of it all I feel like crap myself.
 Swap lives anyone?

   Oh no Emma        not nice at all. 
 I was just thinking I would be absolutely buggered if James got a tummy bug I only have 3 sets of sheets for him.
 I hope the gremlins get better soon and settle down a bit for the night for you.

   Hope they didn't get it from Elle but I doubt it as she didn't have vomiting and her test results were all clear.

   Oh that's not good.  I'd wake W up and ask him what they've eaten.  You don't think it's the domino effect, one starts then the other one?  Hopefully it's not serious.

   Good point Deb, I forgot I even had the baby's linen! And it used to be theirs anyway...
 I take back what I said about Mr Useless, he got up ad we both sat with them in the lounge with towels and spew buckets, now Mercedes is running riot like there's nothing wrong with her but poor Sienna is still miserable. Altho Mercedes did get sick first, hopefully S will perk up soon too. Oh and Maya heard all the commotion so now she is up too and refusing to go back to bed till they do. 
 Anyways, I am off to bed to try and get a little sleep, Willie is sitting up with them and he's gonna try putting them down again a bit later when (if) they've stopped vomitting. I'm kinda glad for the break coz it's me that's gotta cope with them all day tomorrow on my own, he gets to slink off and hide at work.
 Thanks for your thoughts everyone    |

   Oh no!  Poor babies     It can't be catching though because Sam is fine (thank goodness).  
 They did eat a truckload at the party - maybe it is catching up     I hope tomorrow is better for you all.    |

   OK, I spoke to soon   3am this morning I was woken to the sounds of exorcism type chucking in the nursery   There was so much of it all over the cot!  Have changed sheets, lined with towels and nappies and have changed her, but I don't think she will be sleeping.  She is still going poor thing   Ugh   |
