Day 2 of Vacation and.....

Well it is day 2 of vacation and I already have one down, Andy has the stomach bug. He woke up at 2:30 am and has been going strong ever since. I don't know if I have ever described Andy? Andy is very sweet, loving, cute etc....but, he is also very whiny....not just a little whiny, really whiny. So what is a mom to do who has essentially been up since 3 am with a sick, whiny child, a husband who sleeps through it all, (can someone please tell me how they do that?) and 3 other kids who are crying because they wanted to go to the pool today? You start drinking coffee and hope that the day does not go by as slow as you think it is going to. You try not to think about the fact that you were going to run this am with your two older kids. You put a smile on your face and think about all of the fun things that your friend Pam is doing with her kids this summer and decide to make a similar list with markers on a big piece of paper. Maybe the day won't be so bad after all.
