Puke, Puke, Puke

Well, we started out a very busy weekend. Saturday I had an early CPR class I had to take as a part of my licensing for daycare (just a renewal this time around). After I finished the class, I headed to base to pick up a few things we needed to do shish kabobs for dinner tonight. Then Mark and I took the kids to a birthday party at the roller rink that was for a little pal of Bens in his class. Straight after THAT party, we rushed back to our neck of the woods and dropped Paige off at a friends house for another party! Mark had invited one of the civilians from work over for dinner and we had a great time. Mark went to pick Paige up about 930 and all was well......

Midnight came and Paige started puking....thank GOD she is old enough to make it to the bathroom and doesn't just sit up in bed and puke right there like they all do when they are little. She has been puking ever since. Of course, with Mark being a sympathy puker, it has been left to me to do the clean up and soothing of this child. Mark was laying in bed with the blankets covering his ears each time I came back to bed, as even the SOUND of someone puking makes him gag. I really don't want to deal with two pukers, so I take care of the puke around here! We do have a deal however, and that is I take care of the puke and Mark takes care of the blood. When one of the kids is bleeding I just feel sick to my stomach. Someone elses kids bleeding is fine, but the sight of my own kids bleeding just makes me nauseaus! So we have this great deal and it all works out. Mark DID however point out that we are in trouble if one of the kids is bleeding AND puking.....lets just hope we don't have to deal with that situation! lolol..

So now Paige is asleep on the couch...we are giving her tylenol every four hours and she is keeping the puking to a minimum....poor kid..she is waiting for Mark to come home from town with her ginger ale (he does do SOMETHING when the kids are sick!) and I am waiting for him to come home so I can go take a shower.....

and that is how we are spending our Sunday....lucky us! :)

Hugs to all,
