Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

5 minutes after these photos…

April29

We clinched the complete loss of our deposit on this rental house.  And be very glad I’m not that dedicated to blogging as to provide photos.  Also, everyone who said it was different when you had to clean up vomit unpleasant things from your own children LIED.  Finally? I hate when my little ones don’t feel well. Tessa actually seems to be feeling okay but taking her cue from Sabrina who isn’t feeling well.  I kept kidding this morning that Sabrina woke up 13 – all attitude, full of sighs and eye rolling while moving at the speed of maple syrup.  I asked her at least 4 times if she felt okay and if her tummy hurt (prompting more eye rolling and sighing).  She insisted she was fine.  I should have known better because when she feels fines she fakes all sorts of pains and ailments.  But when she is truly sick she doesn’t want to admit it.

I’m a little traumatized from cleaning up.  Fortunately, my mystery fever broke yesterday and I’m feeling good today.  As I was gagging and scrubbing, Sabrina kept insisting “But grown ups don’t puke, Mommy”.  I almost disproved her theory but managed to Mom Up.  Blargh.  Honey?  I deserve an extra large slice of Mother’s Day Bruster’s ice cream cake  (Coffee Ripple please) for this – have you ordered it yet?

    I remember when my oldest came home at 9 months (he is now 8) and he threw up on me. I felt like a real mom and it almost brought tears to my eyes. Now one additional kid later (home at 10 months and now 4) … not so much!

    Hope you are all on the mend soon.

    urgh. I havent had that pleasure yet – but when it happens I know I’m on deck – my husband gags when he has to throw out old food in the refrigerator. I hope the ice cream erases some of the horrific memories.

    Michelle,
    I’m with you on the “they lied” when they said it’s different with you children! I still wretch and gag anytime I have to clean up “unpleasant” things—and I’m a nurse! I hear all of the time, “come on you are a nurse, you should be use to that”. WRONG! “Body fluids” are disgusting, especially when they smell!
    As far as completely losing the deposit on the rental house, just rent one of those Rug Doctor things, it should do the trick of cleaning the carpet.

    Sorry to see your little ones not feeling well. So sad to know they’re sick. I hope everyone’s feeling better soon.
