Longest 24 Hours

I find it funny how every day Jeff and I complain that there isn't enough time in the day. The days have been flying by lately between work, having two kids and all the house guests we have this time of year. I guess in a way we got what we asked for.......a very long 24 hours! Friday night I had to work and Jeff was having a couple guys over for dinner. Around 4:30, our neighbor saw Jeff in the backyard and asked if he could watch their 3 year old daughter, both her and her 10 month old weren't feeling well and her husband was going to take the little one to the hospital. Between 4:30 and the time I got home from work, which was around 9:30, Rilyn had gotten a black eye (jumping on the bed incident), the neighbors little girl ran into our China Hutch and cut above her eye (which initially Jeff thought needed stitches) then after giving both girls baths their little one had throw up twice while Jeff was holding her. Jeff was thankful there were a few people there to help him with everything, but they obviously didn't stay long. By one in the morning that night Jeff was violently throwing up and shaking with the chills, while Emerson had a fever of 103. The next day Jeff stayed in bed, and it seemed like forever until 7:30pm came around so that I could have a shot of getting some sleep, since that was non-existent the night before. Luckily I thought to put towels under Rilyn while she slept just in case, and by 2am she was up throwing up or "spitting up" according to her. So far so good this morning, let's hope this all has passed, but I have a feeling it will be another day of waiting to get to 8pm again so that sleep may be possible tonight :).
