A chain of events

Jenna commonly crawls into our bed to sleep next to me.  Although I don't like it, I'm usually too tired to care at that point.  I usually let her fall back asleep & then take her back to her own bed when I need to use the restroom.

So, last night was one of those nights.  I woke up around 12:30am & crawled over her to get to my bathroom.  It was then that I noticed my back was wet.  Was she really that sweaty?  I felt her underwear...and it was wet.  My lamp revealed a huge wet spot on my bed.  I had to change clothes & then change her.  Of course, she was so tired that she had no idea that any of this was going on.

I turned off my alarm clock, put her in her own bed & took my pillows to the guest bed.  A few hours later, I was awake again needing to use the restroom.  I could hear Randy walking around, wondering why I wasn't in bed with him.  I was able to tell him what was going on when he peeked into the guest room.

Fast forward a few hours...Randy was gone to the cannery to help can peaches.  I didn't have a clock in my room, but I could hear the girls awake.  They wondered where Randy and I were, but then found me in the guest bed.  I had Sydney check and tell me what time it was--8:15am.  We had planned to leave to walk her to school at that exact time.  (It's "Walk to School Day".)  I hurriedly got dressed, did her hair & fed her some cereal.  We drove about 2/3 of the way to the school, parked, and walked the rest of the way.  Whew, we made it & she wasn't late.

Oh, and by the way, I can assure you that you don't need to experience a child wetting in your bed for yourself.  It's gross.  After Jenna throwing up in my bed a few weeks ago, I'm beginning to wonder if she's out to get me...

At least you walked Sydney to school on 'walk to school day' right? At least you have an extra bed you can go to at night right? I think if I was in your situation I would be pretty irritable/upset

I've had that happen before too...not fun at all, I agree!

It's probably pay back when I woke up in the same situation from a child who wet on me...maybe it was even you!
