You Know You’re a Mom When… 1. You’d rather catch puke in your hands than clean it up off the carpet.      2. You’re the last person to bed and the first person to get up in the morning. 3. You’ve made yourself hoarse reading books to a sick monster. 4. You’re apparently the only person in the house who knows how to work the stove, washing machine, and dishwasher. 5. You’ve been peed on, pooped on, and puked on.  6. You’re the one who sits up with sick monsters all night. 7. You’re the one who cleans up after those sick monsters. 8. As a result, you can clean things that would make the RotoRooter man gag. 9. “But Mom!” is one of your least favorite things to hear from the monsters. 10. So is “But Daddy said I could.” 11. If you don’t keep track of school projects and homework, it doesn’t get done. 12.If you ever get seriously ill, the world will come to an end. 13.All it takes are those little arms sliding around your neck and you MELT.   Don’t forget to enter my contest to win a free copy of Patti O’Shea’s In the Midnight Hour!

I thought we were out of the woods.  Ha, silly Mom.

Two nights ago, she slept fine without throwing up, but she did have a fever yesterday morning.  She laid across my lap and I rubbed her back all morning, but she perked up enough in the afternoon/evening to get up and play a little with her sisters.  Still no appetite, but it wasn’t a war to get her to drink yesterday.

But we’ve been up since 4:00 a.m. again this morning.  Her fever spiked again, which made her throw up, but at least she made it to the toilet in time.  She’s dosing now, still very warm, but the throwing up has stopped for now.

I’m going to do a few rounds with Sven and hope he knocks me on my ass out cold so I can get some rest.
