What I am about to write may be disturbing and gross to some, I know it is to me.
Last week Isabelle was pretty sick. She was throwing up (which will further be referred to as T.U. or the yuckiness) pretty much all night last Monday. I felt so bad for her. This Sunday it was Liam's turn. We got up in the morning and went to church, he seemed fine. He was laughing and playing all day - up until the yuckiness hit him. I felt bad for Isabelle, but I felt horrible for Liam. Sick babies are the saddest! I also felt bad I took him to church, because I hate when people take their sick kids to church, but seriously I had NO idea. I have been on nonstop T.U. laundry duty for the past week.
Yesterday I had a book club to go to. All day I was feeling really tired, I blamed this on the fact that I have had sick kids. In the afternoon I got a bad headache so I almost didn't go to club. Everything at club was going great we laughed a lot and discussed the book. When dessert was served I had a little voice in my head say "you shouldn't eat any dessert". Did I listen? Of course not! It was pie, why would I listen to anyone telling me not to eat pie? After about 3 bites I started to question my rebelliousness. I knew I had to get out fast...I ran to the kitchen and discarded the rest of the pie. Then I not so gracefully excused myself from the group and left for home. I only got to the front porch when the yuckiness hit me. It came as a big surprise to me, because I haven't had the yuckiness since I was 12 - that's almost 20 years. After 20 years you start to think you are immune to the yuckiness. As I was leaving the homeowner was pulling up. Luckily I love this person, but it was still mortifying to tell him that I just T.U. in his lovely flower garden. I don't think T.U. is good for flowers.
When I got home I got the yuckiness 7 more times in about an hour. My husband had never seen this oh so beautiful side to me - even when I was pregnant I never T.U. After this fun hour I felt even worse for my kids being sick before - I didn't remember it hurting so much. I had the full fledged flu. Fortunately my sweet husband was there with me. Somehow the porcelain throne doesn't seem as gross when you have someone patting your back. It is our 10th anniversary tomorrow, I guess you should see your wife at her worst before your 10th anniversary. After about 2 hours Soungsik decided to show me his not so beautiful side. We had a not so wonderful bonding night as husband and wife. we worked on the part of our wedding vows of "in sickness or in health" last night. Now I am sitting here in my pajamas being extremely sore and tired just hoping that I don't get the yuckiness for another 20 years. That should put me in my fifties. Now that's a little depressing!

Oh no Gabri! I'm so sorry! Kids throwing up is horrible, parents throwing up while kids are feeling better is even worse! :( I hope you guys start feeling better soon! Let me know if I can do anything to help.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Throwing up in your neighbor's flower bed is not so bad, it could have been a lot worse. You know, like throwing up all over yourself in somebody's car (someone you don't happen to know very well), with an hour long drive left before you can escape the humiliation!(or the smell!)...you know...hypothetically speaking...
Ugh! What a great way to spend your vacation. No offense, but Im glad we haven't spent any time with you. Are you going to lysol everything before Sunday? We can do it here if we need to. Do you need anything? The barf bucket?
ReplyDeleteJenny I did think of you when I was T.U. in my neighbors yard. I thought "This could be worse, I could be Jenny in a car!"
ReplyDeleteCamille - Anytime you want to come Lysol my house you are more than welcome!
