I jinxed myself. Just the other day I was saying how the kids have been so healthy this flu season. Yes I'm an idiot, one day I'll learn to keep my mouth shut. And it's Ally who's sick.
***Disclaimer: Puke Post ahead, you've been warned if you are eating anything***
Some kids get the hang of puking in the toilet or sink or bucket. Toddlers don't often have this skill but by 5 or 6, it's usually there. Except for Ally. While learning to whistle and skip and read, she missed this important life lesson. Let's recap the night:
Carpeted hallway versus toilet, carpet wins by landslide. (Pull out the carpet cleaner at 11pm, what fun!)
Bedding versus toilet (and bucket in bed!), bedding wipes up all over. (And why did she have to sleep on the top bunk last night?)
Bathroom floor and rug right in front of the toilet versus the toilet, toilet loses miserably. (Seriously, she was inches from the toilet and still puked on the floor, what's up with that?)
She's sleeping soundly right now and obviously not going to school. I need to push the rest of the icky stuff through the washing machine and dryer, she was making messes faster than the machines could get through a cycle. And I'm preparing myself for all the other kids to come down with this, pulling out the extra sheets and blankets, making a menu of bland food items, painting a bulls-eye in the toilet bowl, etc. Our water bill really was too low last month anyways...
