It is 11:30 pm. I have cleaned up barf 7 times since 7 am. I have done 5 loads of laundry for barfed clothing alone (never mind the stack of normal stuff waiting to be done!!!) and the only reason I'm still up is beause I have to wait for "black bear" to be done in the dryer. Those of you who know Leishabeth, know black bear. It is THE ONE toy we cannont be without, it has RARELY and BARELY been out of eye sight, or arms length since she got it when she was a baby. I would much rather s tay up until it's dry, than be woken violently, by a shrieking child missing her security toy. Oh yes, it's much better to walk down the stairs whilst fully awake, than to stumble down, in the dark, heart pounding from the hideous screeches I woke to, feeling for direction because my body is up and moving by habit, but my brain is still on the pillow.



And as I was readying for bed, I realized, that in the time our household has been ill, I have not taken care of my lizard. I've been too busy cleaning up puke since thursday......that would be last week as in 7 days ago, that I haven't fed or watered her!!!!! The poor baby didn't even get off her perch to have a drink, she just let me pour it right into her mouth.



Sorry Dorie, bad time to be a pet in this house!!!!

on my head, one of her fave spots


traversing the top of her terrarium


On Lei's leg.







Do anyone elses kids have distinct "puke" personalities? AHAHA! Why I noticed this, who knows!
Jaala is quiet, you barely know she's barfed at all by the sound anyway.
She's also seemingly unable to hit any sort of receptcle, no matter now nearby it is!!! She just turns her head and lets it fly, wipes her mouth and she's done.
Lei, is a loud retcher, and she is very prim, she aims, she spits carefully, and swallows as much as she can, rather thean make a mess. HAHA it's so funny too, if anyone talks about barfing, or sounds like their barfing, or IS barfing, Leisha gags! She can't even tell someone she had the barfs with out gagging! Remind you of anyone....MATTY?????

Well, now that I have regaled you with such appetizing stories. I'm off to bed. I have made an executive decision that NO ONE is leaving this house tomorrow. Everyone is staying home, resting, sleeping, sipping bailey's and coffee, eating bon bons with their feet up......Oh wait...my dreams life took over there for a minute. Everyone IS staying home though, with both girls barfing, I doubt anyone wants them at school anyway.

  3. Why does my coffee taste chunky all of a sudden??

    And how wierd that the other two comments this far are my friends!! Small world when you are a lucky friend, I guess.

    My kids, are all good barf aimers. (so far, come on Seth). They usually make it to a toilet or at the least a bowl.

    And, to be an optimist, aren't you glad to have your own laundry machines to use when ever you want or need? Much better than those apartment machines that are always full of someone else's stuff!!

    Love you. Hang in there!
