{Long Day..oh wait, its only 10am!}

Alenna has been so so so sick lately!


So sick that all she does is stay in bed. Poor baby girl, (that is so not like her at all), so we know that she really isn't feeling well. Last night she came into our room 3x, The first time, she walked into our room throwing up, the last we didn't know she had snuck back in until we got up this morning and found her passed out on our floor.


Ryan layed her down on the couch where she slept for several hours. Not realizing she didn't have a pull up on, I just let her sleep. Potty training is still a new thing for her and she's not perfect at it yet, especially when she's sick. (Keep in mind, adults have accidents when they're this sick too) So I checked on her, and of course, she had peed everywhere.


All on my couch, grrrrr.


I stayed calm (unbelievable! I know!), washed her off and put her in her bed while Ryan stripped off every piece of fabric on our couch and deep cleaned it all. As I was putting a pull-up on her, she sweetly looks down to the floor, shrugs her shoulders and says, "mommy, I'm sorry I peed on the couch."


How sweet is that?? Ah, she didn't need to say sorry, especially seeing as how sick she is.


Melted my heart.


So, back to my couches, the fabric is micro-fiber (the most pain-in-the-neck fabric to clean EVER) it shows every water ring. We will only buy leather from here on out, but until we can afford that we're stuck with these. So, anyways, Ryan is really good about cleaning and I'm anxious to see if he found the trick to cleaning them because I sure haven't! Its not a huge deal, I needed to deep clean them and steam them anyways. If it worked, I'll be posting pics. If not...well, I just hope it works! Anyone know a good technique for cleaning this fabric???
ps, if anyone cares, Ryan got my couch looking great!

I'm sorry to hear things have been so rough over there. I hope Alenna gets to feeling better.

Things haven't been going that great over here either. My fridg is freezing everything, my dryer broke this morning, and Roger was SUPPOSE to be home tonight. His flight got canceled and he's stuck in El Paso, TX. Hopefully we'll have him home again soon.

Miss you a ton!

Alenna is better. Thank heavens. You know your kid is really sick when all they want to do is sleep in their bed all day!
Sorry, I hope he gets back into town soon! Ryan is probably joining the national guard soon and will be leaving me a single (and pregnant) mom for 4-5 months! Ah! Its going to be rough, I'll have to call you everyday to know how you got through Roger being gone so much!
