I know why we're puking. Because after this horrendous bug made the rounds through every household within a 20 mile radius of us, I had the audacity to proclaim that we had 'dodged the bullet.' Nay. No dodging. This was one of those sneak attack, hiding in the bushes, lying in wait bullets. Last night, shortly after my blog entry about lottery commercial songs and beautiful sisters, our very own Beautiful Sister violently emptied it in her bed. Then in the toilet (about 4 times). Then in a H'ween Bucket (about 8 times). All of this within 2 and a half hours. Enter: Mr. Suppository. Shortly after Mr. S arrived on the scene, Beautiful Sister fell asleep until 4 AM (at which time she tossed it up again 3 times.) Enter: Mr. Suppository2. We've only had one spewing since 8 AM, so all is right with the world for now.
Sometime in the middle of the night, I remembered Sam was supposed to dress up like he was 100 years old for the 100th Day of School Party today. Siigghh! So this morning, as I inserted suppositories and cleaned up things I won't describe (Your Welcome), I found a white t-shirt and wrote "I AM 100 Years Old" on it in large, black letters, slipped it over Sam's head, and Wa-La! TRAGEDY AVERTED!
I'm sure his teacher will not be as pleased with his costume as I was. Or maybe he'll be all the rage.
Beautiful Sister begged us several times last night to please 'buy her some roses.' Knowing her daddy, she'll get her wish. Poor gal. She's melted into the couch right now with the orange jack-o-lantern bucket clutched between her fingers. I swear that pumpkin is laughing at us.

Sorry to hear that you have a sick baby. Very creative to use a pumpkin bucket to catch puke. Hope you are planning on reusing it this Halloween for candy. ;) Hope that Sophy makes a quick recovery and gets her roses. Did you take a picture of your 100 year old Sam? Personally I think having the kids dress like they are 100 years old is asking a bit much of the kids and the parents. All we had to do last year was bring a group of 100 things. Nicholas brought pencils. Yes we really have more than 100 pencils around here.
Whoops! That was supposed to be hope that you are NOT planning on reusing the bucket.

OK, not sure why that posted twice. I am having technical difficulties in addition to grammatical difficulties. Maybe I should quit leaving comments.
YOU POOR GIRL. Seriously, how many times can one catch a stomach virus?
I hope she got her roses, that sweet little Sophy. And how did the 100 year shirt go over? That's some pretty clever thinking, woman. :)
I hope you have a puke free weekend.
