Warning yuckiness ahead ARRRRR!!!!

Boy, the days just keep truckin' by don't they? I'm not nearly as good about updating as I used to be!

My baby boy has been sick. He'd been more emotional than normal last week then on Monday he slept in super late. As soon as I saw him I knew he wasn't "right" but I couldn't put my finger on the problem. He begged me for medicine but I didn't know what to give him when I didn't know what I was treating. I gave him some cereal and some apple juice and snuggled up with him on the sofa. After a while he seemed to be stable so I went to do some dishes. He coughed once then started to cry. I ran around the counter to find him covered in chocolate vomit. OH! and he wasn't done yet. It just kept coming and coming. When he finally stopped I had the lovely job of cleaning it all up. I can handle cleaning up my kids vomit most of the time. Two things I can't handle is milk barf and mucus barf. This time it was the mucus variety. Can you picture a mom retching while she sops up her kids slimy chocolate barf? That was me. It was nasty.

My baby boy was better yesterday. His throat is still a little scratchy sounding and he looks puny but he was in good spirits. He's not up yet to see what I'm dealing with today. Wish me luck.

I guess I do have a good reason for not updating sooner!

Thinking of you, I puked once while clearing up my daughter's puke. It's a road going nowhere, really fast.
Hope things get better soon

We'll accept that as a valid excuse.

Oh, yeah... and ARRRRR! (I'm not good at second languages)

What is it with kids and puke? I've puked once in 18 years, and that was from food poisoning (thank you 7-Eleven hotdog).

But when I was a kid, I puked every other week!

Ummm, yeah, I'd say you have reason to not post. Kid vomit...OY! How will I ever deal? I often wonder how my mom could have been THAT awesome, always holding my hair back, wiping my face with a damp cloth, not wretching, making me feel better. God I want to puke just thinking about cleaning someone else's vomit....that's it, I'm doomed. My kid's gonna be a puker! HA HA

Hope the boy's feeling better OGO! You're a good mom!
