a long night the burrito and a kidney stone

I am not sure if he could just sense that something was brewing, or if he somehow knew the night was gonna flip upside down. But last night it was nearly 115am before I finally got The Burrito settled into a good sleep. Placed him in his bed snuggled him up in his cozy blankets and fell into bed completely exhausted. Only to be awakened 30-40 minutes later by Burrito who had a night terror. Out of pure tiredness and sleepiness that I could not shake I plucked him out of his cozy bed and tucked him in with me. We both drifted of to sleep. Would you believe that not 30 minutes later I was awakened by moaning coming from the other side of the bed. Scott was in pain and wrestless and moaning. pacing....kneeling  and lying down...Had I been awake I am sure it would have been quite the sight to see! However I had only had an hour of uninterupted sleep thus far and was so stinking tired....
Dr. Angela diagnosed kidney stones offered options and seriously contemplated going back to sleep. However, I searched my weary body and found compassion and stayed up ALL night listening, offering suggestions. At nearly 5 Scott laid down and drifted off to sleep in Madison's empty room and I went to sleep with a cozy little Burrito.
Scott decided to go to work and made it exactly half way to the office before realizing that was not a good plan and pulled into his parents driveway. They escorted him into the ER and lo and behold the official diagnosis of kidney stones was given and he was discharged with a prescription for percacet, a strainer and told to wait  for it to pass.
Wonderful! So today I am running on a grand total of 2 and 1/2 hours of uniterupted sleep with a grumpy Burrito and a man trying to pass a stone! Icing on the cake was Sam has a cough and a fever too. NIIIICE.

Dear God....I have Foster Parents Night Out this Friday with 34 possibly 42 foster children plus volunteers and their children I do not have time nor do I have patience for this nonsense. So, if you could kindly get my family healthy and provide me with some good sleep between now and Friday, I would be ever so gratefull! Thanks and AMEN!!!
