Calgon anyone?

Well this past weekend for me was brutal. I made it to Caden's game, but not his team party. I was so sick all day and even in the middle of the night. I didn't make it to church for lack of sleep and stomach pains. Then I had a hair appointment that if I cancelled I would have to pay for the whole visit regardless. I was sick up until walking out the door. I don't know how I made it through. Came back home and back to bed.
Today was starting off as a great day! I feel so bad for my children not getting the best of me, so I decided to surprise them with pancakes! They were so excited! Riordan especially since he points to the Bisquick box all the time in the pantry and crys for them. They devoured them!! Riordan couldn't wait for them to be finished so he ate his next to me while I cooked and Caden had two big ones! I even enjoyed one ;-)
So later on, I was feeding Teagan and putting her down for a nap. I had been on the office computer for about 15 mins before that. I came into the living room and I couldn't believe my eyes. I just wanted to cry. Riordan had gotten the syrup bottle, that was up on the counter and out of reach I thought, and was pouring it all over the ottomans!!! He had already hit the carpet in about 6 different places! I was astonished! He had already gotten in trouble earlier for writing on the wall with a ball point pen!
I got the syrup bottle and sent both he and Caden to their room. Caden just sat there and watched t.v. without saying anything! When I asked him why, he said he didn't think it was wrong :( They stayed in their rooms till they fell asleep.
Mike cancelled his 2 o'clock and came home to clean up. I tried to get the syrup out of the carpet with water, but you can still see it. Looks like we will have to have it cleaned out... UGH! Oh and the smell while I was cleaning it was too much so my great day turned quickly into a bad one. I had to run and almost lost it before the bathroom.
So Mike brought me quesadillas and a caesar salad for lunch today... My muscles are so sore from the hard weekend, nothing tastes goods and it hurts to sit up right now.. poor me I know.
Teagan got hurt a little while ago playing outside with the boys... wait why the boys have freedom right now is one to ponder on... but anyway, Mike brought her to me, and NORMALLY she cuddles up to me and sucks her thumb. She cried harder and wanted her daddy back! She has NEVER done that before, so now I'm feeling even more guilty of not being the mom I normally am! But I'm happy for Mike because he's never had that with her before, and I know how nice it feels to comfort one of our children when they are hurt, scared, etc. But boy did that hurt my heart!! My little princess!!
Please pray that this is the last day of morning sickness for me!

Can I OMG! I can just see Riordan standing there with the syrup bottle. I bet he jumped a mile when you saw him!
Tell me the Calgon...I'll send a care package when the IL's come over.
