Our tale of Friday....

I'll try to make this recap short and sweet:

4:00 AM - Sophia is awake! Are you kidding me? You got up at 5:30 AM yesterday, didn't nap at all and then went to bed around 8:30.

4:15 AM - I make a bed on the floor beside Sophia's crib so see if she'll fall back asleep with me in the room.

5:00 AM - Sophia demands to get DOWN and points with her finger to the floor. She wants out of her crib. Not only does she want out of the crib, she wants to go DOWNstairs to watch Barney!

6:00 AM - I try to get on my laptop. No connection.

6:15 AM - I wake up Will to help me get online to see how I can ease Sophia's pain. She's completely stuffed up and her nose is leaking non-stop and her cough sounds really scratchy and painful. He diagnoses that our wireless router is dead! OH MY GOSH...WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ALL DAY WITH A SICK KID AND NO INTERNET. I'LL GO NUTS. I'M PANICKING!!!! Relax, he tells me. You can sit 2 feet from the TV and plug into the cable modem. Um, okay - it that's what I have to do.

8:30 AM - Will leaves for work.

9:00 AM - 1:00 PM - Sophia alternates between crying and moaning, wanting to be held, wanting nothing to do with me. She refuses to eat anything.

1:10 PM - Sophia announces that she wants fries.

1:15 PM - We hop in the car and go to the McDonald's drive through window. I jump in the back seat and try to give her some fries. She throws them at me and all over the car. I notice that her eyes are rolling back into her head because she's sooooo tired. I decide to start driving to see if she'll fall asleep.

1:15 - 3:30 PM - I drive and drive and drive. I literally toured the entire city of Virginia Beach. I even took a detour along the way and hit the Dairy Queen drive through for a cherry chocolate blizzard (the flavor of the month). Not as good as some of the others in my opinion.

3:30 PM - We're home. It's now pouring down rain and Sophia wakes up as soon as we pull into the driveway.

3:30 - 6:00 PM - Barney and the rest is a blur to me.

6:00 PM - Will gets home. Thank goodness. I run out to the store to get a new humidifier for Sophia's room and some more vapor plug ins.

8:00 PM - We decide to give Sophia a bath before bed. She POOPS in the tub! Yep, can you believe it? That was the very first time that's ever happened and it was probably my fault. She didn't want to get a bath, but I knew it would make her sleepy so I told her she could wear a bathing suit in the tub. She must have thought that was "her diaper" and let loose. UGG!

I'm going to end it there, but believe me, it was one of the more interesting and trying days of motherhood.
