Well, I just thought we had an easy go of it. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. We didn't have anything in the house for breakfast and I was hungry, so I got up to go to the store and stopped by McDonalds. Well, the egg McMuffin I got had a nearly raw egg on it. By this time Aiden was complaining that his tummy hurt. I decided to go on to Aldi to get a few things anyway. I got there about 8:40 and they didn't open until 9am...ugghh this day was really going down hill. At this point I didn't know the half of it though. I managed to get through Aldi with the basics. And Aiden says he needed to potty. I begged him to hold it until we could get home (and he did). We got home, I hauled the groceries upstairs and then 2 poops later he said his tummy hurt and he was hungry. It was close to 10:30 so I started making him a hot dog and he had some popcorn. So after about the 5th time he told me his tummy hurt he projectiled onto the living room carpet. Ok, the day is really heading south now! I managed to clean it up sort of. I see a shampoo in our near future. But he seemed fine. I then had to clean out our Little Bissell carpet cleaner because there were chunks in it. Yes, smelly wet chunks of hot dog and popcorn. At this point I was about to hurl myself. But, wait, it gets better. As I'm cleaning out the machine the vacuum hose fell down and ended up pouring all of the "junk" onto my shoe and floor rug. If teenage girls had just been present this morning I know this could have contributed to the birth control rate.
I proceeded to get Aiden down for a nap and thought hopefully we were done. I was seriously wanting a do over for this day. Well, it kept on coming. After about an hour nap, you guessed it, I hear coughing and hurling upstairs. I get up there and Aiden is at the top of the stairs covered in more glorious lunch leftovers. So, I start the cleaning ritual all over again. This time I had to take the sheets outside to shake out the chunks. Some outside rodent will have a nice surprise tonight for supper.
Ok, so by this point it is time to go pick up Ryan from school. I buckle up the little sick man and get on my way. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were waiting in carline. I was reading a book and it was a nice peaceful moment until I heard the dreaded words "Mommy my tummy hurts." This was followed by a cough, cough and a smell that would gag a maggot. Thank goodness I had a towel, wipes and anit-bacterial in the van. I was so totally grossed out though. I cleaned him up as best I could and just in time for the line to start moving. We made it to the other side of the school and here it came again. Ryan then says he thinks he's gonna be sick and pretends to start gagging. I told him that was so not funny! I seriously was about to hurl. I had the windows down and begging for fresh air as I rushed home.
So here I sit, after a bath for Aiden and more cleaning. Little man laid on my lap for about an hour and he's up playing now. He said he wanted a piece of bologna. I said absolutley NOT! Processed meats might not make it in my house for a while.
Ok, if you have any mercy in you, please join me in praying the stomach bug leaves our house. I'm the biggest baby there is when it comes to throwing up. I put my time in when I was pregnant....both times. I've had enough puking to last a while.
It was also character dressup day today. Well, we had a tough time, because I ended up getting sick Friday night and all Saturday. Then Sunday we were working on our income tax return and it slipped our mind. Well, pretty much last minute Ryan said he wanted to be Jack from the Magic Tree House books. Thank goodness this was a pretty easy thing to do. Notice the cover of the book to compare his outfit. We rolled up the jeans, had the backpack, glasses and even a similar shirt. The character Jack always has a notebook that he is jotting down things in so that is what Ryan is holding.
