One of those weeks...

You might have had one of those weeks when...

-Your daughter has a UTI = crying, screaming every time she goes to the bathroom.
-You have to take her to the doctor with all 4 kids in tow.
-You have to stay with her in the bathroom and try to "catch the pee pee in the cup" for about 20 minutes while the nurses watched the other 3 kids.  Poor girl, she was in so much pain and just didn't want to go!  But I really didn't want her to have to get a catheter. 
-You take all 4 to Publix to pick up antibiotics... in the pouring rain.
-You get to the front of Publix with a baby on each hip and no control over the other 2... only to find that there were NO double carts to be found!!  I looked everywhere, and sent a bag boy out to look for one.  Finally, about 10 minutes later (after everyone else in the store had walked by me with 1 child in their double cart and said, "oh you poor dear!"), he got one for me.
-You get sick on your son's first day of kindergarten.  Like nauseous, aches, chills, pain- kind of sick.  I rode my bike to school with him anyway... I just couldn't miss it.  Then I spent the rest of the day indoors in sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt, even though it was 95 degrees outside.  Except for when I went to pick him up and sat in the car line for 45 minutes.  Oh car line!
-You have to call someone to come spray your house because you have roaches... everywhere!
-You have to call someone to come fix your roof because it's leaking and there are monsoons every afternoon and a hurricane coming next week!
-Your husband works late every night and is super stressed out.
-You wake up super early to get all of the kids dressed and ready so you can get 2 of them to school on time, and pick up a carpool buddy, and then maybe hit the gym... when suddenly your baby projectile vomits all over you and the floor and the rug. 
-You spend all day taking care of a sick baby who is crying non-stop for 10 hours... poor little thing!
-Your other baby has mushy, leaky poo that keeps going and going and going.  Diaper after diaper after diaper it never ends!  And neither do the wardrobe changes!
-Your daughter (the one with the UTI) pees all over the floor.
-One baby starts splashing in the pee while your running your daughter to the bathroom.
-The other baby crawls into it too while you take the first baby to the kitchen sink.
-You discover that the vomiting baby also has the mushy, leaky, never-ending poo issue too.

That about sums up my week!!!
