One of those days

The day went like this (it's easier and a lot shorter to do it this way)

(The night was awful b/c we are all sick and the kids wanted to sleep in our room on the floor since they were sick. But between Ethans snoring and Paige's sleep talking and Sammy wanting to pretty much sleep on my face....well, it was a long night)

9:40 wake up (Jim let us sleep later than normal.Thanks Jim)

Spend all morning blowing noses, taking medicine, watching movies, taking more medicine, yelling at kids for not just letting me have a break, getting snacks and lysoling everything.

Decide that I have had enough and can't make lunch. Head to Mcdonalds. Realize that the heat in the car only works on full blast as of today.Yippee.

Go through the drive through.

Get home and have Ethan throw a 45 minute tantrum. Outside.. Since Jim was sleeping and we didn't want to wake him.

Get everyone calmed down and watching a movie downstairs.

Collapse on the couch for 1.5 minutes.

Start picking up the living room when Paige starts screaming, "FIRE, FIRE!"

Run downstairs to find the space heater in flames.

Grab Sammy and Ethan and yell for Paige to run upstairs.

Run upstairs.

Grab the fire exstinguisher and run back downstairs yelling to Paige to keep the younger kids upstairs.

Put out the fire.

Clean up the mess. which includes: taking out the burnt heater, vacuming the carpet, scrubbing the carpet with cleaner, vacumming up again, ocking up and bleaching all the toys that got sprayed, starting a load of laundry with clothes and blankets that got sprayed.

Start dinner.

Jim wakes up.

Collapse on couch and zonk out for a half hour.

The end.

And here i was thinking we wouldn't get an "Abenture" today.
