***#sorry for the longer wait****
***8:00 pm*****
*****Courtney's POV****
I was done! I literally felt I was a single mother with 6 kids. Oh wait......
I WAS! I literally felt like the house had exploded! (Hints the pic😏)
We decided to camp out at Moriah's house. I called Luke's parents for backup and they came with pizza, air mattresses, and adult diapers. We blew the air mattresses up, put Phoenix and Jude in Sydney's room, Moriah and I were in the room She and Joel shared, and Luke and Joel were in the Guest bedroom along with David and Helen. We didn't even stay up after putting the "kids" down. We went down soon after. Moriah was already fast asleep and I soon followed suit.
We'd had a full day
~~~~~~~~~~~~
***2:30 am*****
I felt Moriah get out of bed. I looked up to see her walking out of the room. I got up and slowly followed her. She walked into the kitchen and rested her head in the pantry door.
And stayed there.
I waited about five minutes for her to go back to bed, but she just stayed there on the door. I slowly approached her, making sure not to startle her. I gently placed my hands on her shoulders and lead her back to the bed.
Now that I knew Moriah sleep walked, I had to be careful what was accessible. I laid back down and started to go back to sleep.
'We need to go to the store tomorrow' I thought to myself. Moriah had this infatuation with Disney Princesses, so we would need something to keep her occupied, and the boys just played with Jude and Phoenix's toys, so they were covered. But first, I need a good night sleep! I took my own orders and went to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
***The next morning*****
I got up and immediately knew something wasn't right. The house was too quiet at 9 am. I ran down the hall and through the house, when I noticed a note on the Fridge:
Courtney,
We took the kids, Joel, Luke, and Moriah back to our house so you would have time to yourself. If you need to go to the store, we can meet you there, or you can go by yourself. Whichever you prefer. Just text us what you want to do. Relax!!!
~David and Helen
They were life-savers! I went to take a shower and put myself together. The first thing I did,
I CLEANED!
The house was a disaster and it was driving me nuts!
I did laundry, dishes, toy clean-up, and floors. I vacuumed, swept, mopped, the whole nine!
***four hours later*****
(A/N. Imagine that in the Spongebob voice****** XD)
I threw myself on the couch gazing at the now spotless house. I was pooped! I wasn't even hungry yet!
I decided to take a short nap. I headed to the back room as my phone rang. It was Helen.
(H-Helen
C-Courtney)
C- "Hello?"
H- "How's it going?"
C- "Great! I've cleaned the whole house, along with dishes, and Laundry."
H- "Wow! Ok, well are you wanting to go to the store? Have you eaten anything?"
C- "I was going to take a quick nap, then I figured we'd go after. If that's alright with you?"
H- "Absolutely! Just let us know when you're up so we can meet you there!"
C- "Thanks! Oh, and if I've not talked to you in an hour or so, call me would ya? To wake me up. I don't want to sleep in to much."
H- "I'll call you around 2:30 ish. How's that?"
C- "Perfect! Thanks so much! Bye!"
H- "Have a nice nap!"
I hung up and practically fell in the bed. I was asleep within minutes.

I choose Jesus, I choose Jesus
The one who first chose me.
I choose Jesus, I choose Jesus
For now and Eternity.....
I rolled over and answered the phone.
"Hello?" I said rubbing my eyes.
"Courtney, you might want to come over here soon. Moriah just got sick and we can't calm her down. She says she wants 'mommy'. I'm assuming she means you." Helen said on the other end.
"Ok, I'll be there in 20 minutes."
"Thanks, you're doing great!" She said, trying to sound reassuring.
"Ha! Ok." I said and hung up.
I got ready and drive over to Helen and Davids. I went to knock but Sydney was already there opening the door for me.
"Aunt Corney? Mommy wants you. She haf been pooking!" She said with a disgusted look. I laughed.
"Ok, I'll go check on her." I walked up the stairs to where l could hear Moriah in the bathroom. Helen was kneeling near Moriah holding her hand and rubbing her back. Moriah's hair was short enough so we didn't have to hold it.
"Helen? I can take over now, if you'd like." I said, walking over to Moriah.
"Sure, I'll go clean up her first mess." I stuck my tongue out in disgust at that. Yuck! I knelt down just as Moriah finished. "Hey sweetheart, how are you feeling?" I asked, rubbing her back.
"I don't fewl weol." She said, miserably.
And then it donned on me.
I reached in my purse for Moriah's phone, which I kept so they wouldn't get broken, and went towards her period app she had on there. I remembered Joel teasing her about it a few months back, and hoped it still was. AH HA! Found it! I opened it and sure enough, it read at the top:
Last use:2 months ago
Oh shoot!
I got Moriah cleaned up and put her down in a bed.
Then I went to find Helen.
