"I GOT THE YUKES!!!" Or What I Like To Call All Night Puking Party

I can't believe it's only November and we're already dealing with puke. Can't we at least get past the Holidays?! GEESH!! Anywho. Yesterday was Lex's "Feast Day" at school. He got all dressed up to go celebrate Thanksgiving with his school friends only to end up with horrible stomach cramps and diarrhea. I got the call that he was sick and I literally flew down to pick him up. My poor little man was sitting with one of the helper Dads and he was crying. When he saw me he ran to me all hunched over and begged me to carry him. Sorry, Lo.....you gotta walk! And walk she did. :) We get home, I got him undressed and made sure he was under his cozy "brown blanket", got him some water and turned on SpongeBob for him. Took him a good few hours but he finally puked. Poor kid was sleeping when it happend, so it got all over him and the couch. My dogs hightailed it outta there as fast as they could. They don't like sick humans. That was pretty much how the rest of the day and night went. He has puked once today and was able to hold down a cracker and some ginger ale, so I'm hoping it's over. And I hope no one else gets sick! Thanksgiving is Thursday for cryin' out loud!!!! I went through that once, being sick on Thanksgiving, and I am ALLLLLL set with doing it again. BUT! I am pretty sure we are not out of the woods. ((sigh)) The only good thing about me getting the stomach flu? I'd drop 5+ pounds. LOL!!!

Clorox Is My Bestfriend Today

My son woke me up at 5 a.m. screaming and gagging. We barely made it to the bathroom in time. He has been dry heaving up bile all morning. Not much in there, I guess. Luckily Lola slept late this morning and I was able to snooze on the couch with Lex in between his puking spells. Boy, I tell ya what, a 20 minutes power nap really does a lot of good when you're running on empty. At one point he was so exhausted from puking I had to hold him up while he puked. My poor little man. :( He finally slept for a few hours and is now drinking sips of water and had a popsicle. No pee yet, I'm waiting for it though.

I'm in the process of airing out my bedroom and disinfecting everything. I don't mess around!! Sometimes Clorox is needed. I usually use all natural cleaners, but I'm a germaphobe and need to make sure everything is germ free. So here are my BFFs........for today....

  




























I'm also terrified Lola will catch it. Not good! I don't think she'd be able to give me notice like Lex does. He screams before he pukes. Yay.  -_- Anyway. I'm exhausted and ready for bed. Yes, already. I'll manage though because I'm the MOM and that's what Mom's do. :) I'll leave you with cuteness.....

p.s.~ While I was writing this post I caught my husband giving Lex chocolate. CHOCOLATE!!! WTF was he thinking? He can deal with the puking if it starts again. -_-
