Against Sleep?

I'm not sure what it is about sleep these days, but I'm sure not getting much of it!
Last night, after I was sound asleep (very tired, is about 10:45 or so), Dime came into my room and told me he was having a splitting headache and stomach hurt. I asked him if he took an IB earlier. (When he came home from CAP, he said he had a bad headache; I told him to take an IB right away.) Nope, didn't. Did you eat a snack when you got home? Nope. (He hasn't eaten much all evening, because he was at CAP, and they went early, played outside, doesn't want to waste time with that sort of thing.)(Fresh bread and rolls were on counter for him.) I tell him to take 2 IB, and eat something with it so won't throw it up. Turn on a movie to relax your brain.
I'm almost asleep again. Dime returns - headache worse, took ib's, can't swallow any food, now nauseated, can't turn on movie because head hurts. Tell him to tell Dot to put on movie (she's awake and up), don't throw up in here, nothing I can do at this point. Few minutes later, I threw up but still feel horrible. Head still hurts. I'm really sorry. Turn on movie and try to relax. Now I can't sleep, feel horrible I didn't get up and really commiserate with him. Finally get up and go check on him. (12:00) He is sound asleep in his own bed.
Then this morning at 5:30, what is that noise? a wierd alarm? oh, it's the CAT!! Does she want to go out - No! - she wants to go downstairs to eat! Too light out, can't sleep....
I'm gonna need a nap. :-)

Oh, don't I know the life! I'm not sure I will ever know true sleep again.
We are sickly over here, too. I threw up on Sunday, and Cody did today, but worse than that is the awful cold!!!! Our noses are raw and red and we are hacking up lungs left and right.

What a rough night! If our kids only knew the sacrifices we take for them! And we say, why do we want more? LOL~

Hope you get some good sleep tonight! :)
