"Fun" experience

So I thought I would share this "fun" thing that happened to me last night.  My neighbor usually watches McCoy, but her poor daughter got strep so I texted my back up babysitter on Tuesday and she said sure!  At 3am this morning, she texted me to let me know that her 3 year old was up throwing up and do I still want McCoy around that?  Well, with our upcoming trip I thought absolutely not!  I woke up Brian and asked if I should get a sub or what I should do.  He said I don't know and rolled back over and went to sleep. I frantically texted another lady in my ward at 3:30am afraid to wake anybody up, but needing to know how to proceed.

I then got up and went downstairs and made sub plans and put my absence in the system.  Any of my teacher friends know that you do not just simply make sub plans.  There is a lot that goes into it.  Lucky for me today is a short day so it only took me about 30 minutes to make my sub plans.  I then got back into bed, but could not sleep because my mind was up and reeling.

At 7am I get a text from the sweet sister in my ward saying she could watch McCoy!  So I quickly log on and cancel my absence.  Oh and I had also texted my principal at 4am to tell her I wouldn't be in today so I hurry and texted her back and told her just kidding.

I get McCoy all dropped off and situated and he loves this sister's 3 kids already!  They are playing cars with him and reading books to him.

Here is the great part...when I get to work I have a text from Brian that says, "I might be coming home. They scheduled me on accident."

I had to laugh because if I didn't I was going to scream.  So now I am sleep deprived for nothing.  Such is the life of a working mom I guess.
