The last day of spring break. My 18 mo old woke up at 4:30, saying good bye to daddy as he left for work. My 16 yr old was awake early, so she took him to play so I could go back to sleep. I finally got back to sleep just before my 8 yr old came down to tell me his stomach hurt and he just threw up on his bed.
